What people are saying about Haute-Savoie

This tour was perfect! Our first stop in Chamonix was to go the cable cars to visit Aiguille du Midi mountain top, at 3,842-metre, in Mont Blanc. The views are mesmerizing! There's a gift shop and restaurant overlooking ‘heaven.’ Back down with the cable cars, the small town of Chamonix and all the unique shops and restaurants are welcoming, and the local people are very friendly and fluent in English. Buying souvenirs and keepsakes was easy as there were plenty to choose from. Our tour guide, ‘Roger’ (we couldn't pronounce his Latvia name, so he said we could call him Roger), shared all the history, little secrets, and great tips to make this experience memorable. 5/5 for this trip. Well organized, and thank you so much to Swiss Tours!

Eventhough the tour detail is not so clear...but the arrangement on site is amazingly smooth! We had a great experience today...thank you! Will recommend this to our friends!

Excellent .... we met lausanne ... vevey and montreaux ... with a personalized guide .... called Zsolt ... very attentive ... he chose the best places and very professional

The village is beautiful but does not need more than a few hours to enjoy. Boat ride back to Geneva was refreshing.

Very nice village. Relax. Lots of opportunities to chill, eat and drink.
