About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- W4580DMjohni0 contributionsExcellent serviceOur driver was courteous and friendly. He picked us up on time, drove smoothly through light traffic, and dropped us off directly in front of the terminal entrance. There was some confusion during the booking process where I entered our flight time as 9:00 am and ended up with a pickup time of 8:24 pm. I wasn’t able to see this until the payment had been processed. When I noticed the issue it was after working hours two days prior to the trip. I used the TripAdvisor app to send a message to the company requesting an earlier pickup. They responded before opening hours the next day with the new time so the problem was solved.Written December 14, 2024
- bettyjoa20220 contributionsUri treated us like royalty !!My son blessed my husband and I will a 12 day trip to Switzerland. Uri was our driver three times during our visit. Uri is so very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. When he first picked us up from the airport he would let us know a lot of interesting sites that we should make a point to see. When we were ready to leave we got lost in the train station and Uri was so very patience and kind. He came an found us. If you use this service I would strongly recommend asking for Uri. He is an amazing person. Thank you, BettyJo and AnthonyWritten October 15, 2024

- sandysP9685PG0 contributionsDriver exceeds expectationOur driver was wonderful. He arrived early with a smile and two bottles of water. Conversation was engaging and he was very personable. He even took the time to find the exact location of our arrival to airport hotel that google maps got terribly wrong.Written May 17, 2024

He had an ipad with our names on it and safely drove us to our hotel. He was very pleasant and gave us some good tips for our stay in Zurich! Thank you so much!Written May 7, 2024
- danielbY3795TL0 contributionsSwitzerland Private TransfersOur experience with AlpTransfer has been almost perfect. Five adults traveling to Switzerland from the United States. We actually used the company for three city to city transfers during our 9-day visit. Each ended up being nearly perfect. Our 50-minute drive from Zurich Airport was excellent. Our arrival on British Airways was over 4 hours late. I called AlpTransfers emergency number to reschedule. At first, the agent said the reservation only allows for a 60 minutes delay at an airport. After Iclarified that I was expecting the company to understand my dilemma, not of my fault, and to reschedule with nearly 8 hours advance notice, at no extra cost, the agent conferred with the scheduler and manager. Happily, they agreed and rescheduled. Each time our driver arrived ar least 15 minutes early and was ready to go. They loaded suitcases, offered us waters, and made sure we were comfortable. From Zurich Airport to our hotel in Lucerne, Warner drove smoothly and was friendly despite the late hour. He offered to share recommendations about our visit which I welcomed. His sent me a note early the next morning that was exactly what I needed to confirm our pre-planning and fill out our experience. From Lucerne hotel to the village Grindelwald, our driver was again early and happy to load us and go ahead of schedule as we were ready. Although not as smooth of a driver as Werner, Andrew was very informative, stopped at our request twice during the 1 hour 45 minute trip. Once we stopped at a scenic spot for family photos and once for rest break and snacks. Each time Andrew asked if we were comfortable and never rushed us. He handled a costruction detour with no concern. Two travelers were a little motion sick on the curvy mountain roads but survived to see the beauty of the region. From Grindelwald to Zurich City hotel, our driver Alex was early and gave us a very effective and direct 2 hour and 10 minute trip . He handled the curves smoothly and the busy Saturday traffic. I would highly recommend Alp Transfer as a company, their drivers, and their fleet of Mercedes vans. The cost was well worth it for the no worries and ease of loading 5 adults and all our baggage to go directly from and to our destinations. We watched others dragging their heavy and small luggage from bus and train stations. Often, they're bouncing over cobblestone streets for long distances while navigating to find their destination. I was glad we weren't in that position and able to enjoy our destinations almost immediately upon arrivalWritten April 28, 2024
- NorthStar3915920 contributionsGreat transfer from Zurich airportWe are a family of 6 adults and had a great transfer from Zurich airport to Lauterbrunnen station with AlpTransfer on our way to Wengen. Philippe was a wonderful driver. He met us promptly, helped with our luggage and drove very safely through the mountains. His 8 seater van was extremely comfortable with plenty of room for all of us and our bags as well as two sets of skis. Many thanks Philippe and AlpTransfer.Written March 29, 2024

- marklL9309SR0 contributionsSuperb ride with free sight seeingWonderful vehicle, very luxurious, with great wi-fi available in the car. The ride itself was smooth with no problems at all, a little over 2 hours went really fast without any headaches or hiccups. The driver was super professional and courteous, even stopped at a wonderful sight sighting spot to let us snap a few pictures, and furthermore he gave us a bit of a tour talking about all the different spots around, and how the transportation systems works if we were to use them. If you're looking for a super professional transfer, then AlpTransfer has my highest recommendation and regards. Thank you for a great experience!Written January 3, 2024
- S6086IOglennb0 contributionsDriver does what he wants, doesn't care about the passenger.While the driver was polite. I am very tall and need the comfort of being in the front seat otherwise my back will ache. I asked the driver in the beginning for the front seat. He came up with excuses why this could not happen, though the seat only had his bag on it. Luckily the drive to the airport was short.Written December 30, 2023

We arrived and Milten our driver was waiting for us. He helped with our bags & escorted us to a luxury vehicle, where cold water was waiting. On our way to our lodging, he shared some interesting facts about Switzerland. Once we arrived at our destination there was an issue with our lodging. He was so very kind & helpful. He allowed us to connect to the internet via his phone and he waited while the issue was resolved. Such a wonderful experience & first impression of Zurich. Thank you.

The entire transfer process and experience was excellent. The communication from the company was constant and comforting in that we knew they had us on their schedule. When our plane actually arrived early they were fully aware of it and let us know what to do in case the driver was a little delayed from an earlier job. However, he was there and was great. He took our luggage, got us to his car and delivered us comfortably and safe to our hotel. He was very informative and interesting about the city and Switzerland in general. Highly recommend and thanks for everything.

After a long flight we arrived in Flughafen Zurich international airport at 6am on a long stop over. We left the main airport building and crossed the road into the opposite building with the shopping area/food hall/train station to discover that there was almost nowhere open to get food-until we found a well stocked supermarket there on the same level. This provided breakfast and food/drink for the day. Also provided was a seating area there and upstairs to eat what was purchased. Zurich is an expensive city!

Most countries in Europe have this unusual Schedule when it comes to markets, and we are sorry to learn that this was an inconvenience for you.
We hope you had a smooth Private Transfer Experience and that our driver helped you find an open supermarket for you to grab what was needed. Please note that your 3-star rating affects us as the transfer company. We would highly appreciate the rating of our services. Did the private transfer service match your expectations?

It was a Business transfer from Zurich Airport to Zurich centre. No one was present at the arrival exit (On Time) and only a 5 minutes trough call center an operator reported that no reservation was in their sistem at first, than thay recovered the booking and said the car was arriving. The Driver showed up after 20 minutes complaining about the traffic and roadworks. This problems should be taken in count when you are a private transfer driver. Worse performance the next day when, due to the previous day experience i decided to call them in advance to verify the transfer from the city to the airport. The operator told me that the reservation was canceled but they ignore from who! I was left in a saturday morning in the street whit no assistance. I got a taxi . I suggest refound the booking staff and buy them a better SWISS (?) watch ...

Arranged and prepaid for our Zurich hotel transfer several weeks in advance. Our flight was delayed due to weather and I texted the company number three times to provide updated arrival information. No driver was there to meet our flight and numerous calls to the company number either rang busy or went unanswered. Finally gave up and took an Uber. The company did promptly refund my payment but only after first accusing me of cancelling the ride. Will not use again.

Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback. While we understand the frustrations you experienced, we want to clarify that the driver was waiting for you at the time of your expected arrival, however there was “no show”. Furthermore, we did not receive any information about the cancellation of the flight and that the arrival was going to be at a different time.
While we strive to maintain effective communication channels with our clients, we also rely on accurate information from third-party agents like Viator. We regret to say that we were not informed about the changes by Viator on time.
We appreciate your understanding. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.
Sincerely,
AlpTransfer Team

Positive: We found our driver immediately in the arrival hall and he took us to the car that was parked very close to the exit door. Quick getaway!
Negative: We thought we were going to have limo of some description. What we had instead was a taxi. It even had a "Taxi" sign on the roof.
On balance: It was a smooth trip to our hotel and the driver was courteous and helpful with the luggage. It all went well but I was expecting a little more than a taxi from the airport.

Dear valued guest,
We sincerely appreciate you sharing your insights regarding your recent transfer experience.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered with our limousine service. It's important to emphasize our steadfast commitment to delivering excellence, and the situation you experienced does not align with our usual vehicle standards.
In the unlikely event that an operational irregularity affects our high-end car fleet, we would explore engaging an external service provider, possibly with taxis in their fleet, to ensure punctual service as a last resort option.
Your understanding is highly valued, and we eagerly look forward to the opportunity to provide you with a more gratifying experience on your upcoming endeavors with us.
Best regards,
Angéline
