Terrible!

Steve_W, Jun 2026

Do not book this tour! We were very disappointed in this tour. It states that we would be picked up at the Zurich airport and have 2 stops on the drive to Basel. We would have a personal tour guide. We did get picked up at the airport. When we asked about the 2 stops the driver said he isn't a tour guide just a driver and there is nothing to see in either town. He just drove us to our hotel in Basel. In addition in the tour description it says there would be waters included. No waters - driver offered his bottle for our group. Worst Viator Tour we have ever taken!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Steve, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that this product is primarily a private transfer from Zurich to Basel with optional sightseeing stops along the way. The sightseeing locations are intended as an added experience during the transfer rather than the main purpose of the service. As clearly stated in the product description, the service is operated by an experienced local English-speaking driver. While the driver is happy to share local knowledge and recommendations, he is not a licensed tour guide, and the product is not advertised as a fully guided walking tour. According to the information provided by our driver, the sightseeing stops included in the itinerary were available during the journey. However, after your flight, your group preferred to continue directly to the hotel rather than spend additional time at the remaining stops. We fully respect such decisions and always adapt the journey to our guests' wishes and comfort. For this reason, part of the planned itinerary was not completed at your request, rather than being omitted by the driver. We would also encourage all travelers to carefully review the product description before booking, as it clearly explains the nature of the service, the role of the driver, and what is included in the experience. We have also noted your comments regarding the bottled water and will review this matter with our local partner. Thank you for sharing your experience. Kind regards, Europe Journey Team

Cramped airport pick- up and "tour."

Lynnerob60, Oct 2025

They said 4 or more people would be in a family MVP. Multi- purpose vehicle for comfort in mind. We were picked up in a BMW, 3 adults in the back seat and 1 in the front with our carry on bags on our laps. The first stop was at a monastery, we were dropped off only to find out it was closed to the public, under construction. Our second stop was for coffee and then we stopped at a small old Church. $650 for 4 people, definitely not worth it. Someone was supposed to get back to me by Friday. No response and they have ignored me when I wrote them I'm very dissatisfied, I have used Viator before with good results.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Lynne, We are truly sorry for the experience you described. The driver was instructed to use a Mercedes Van, and we had every reason to believe this would be the vehicle provided. Unfortunately, he used a different car without notifying us in advance, which is a serious breach of our internal policy. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and fully understand your disappointment. We have already initiated an internal review and will take appropriate action to prevent this from happening again. Regarding your sightseeing stops — we will verify all details with the driver to understand why the monastery was not accessible and ensure accurate information is provided to future guests. Our support team is available over the weekend for urgent matters, but some decisions require management review during business days. Please rest assured this case will be resolved promptly. We truly value your feedback — it helps us improve. Kind regards, Europe Journey Team
