    Dynamic drivers, upscale vehicles, and fast, reliable transfers. A welcome first impression of Switzerland!
    Outstanding experience. Drivers were prompt, courteous, experienced, and informative. Both drove seemingly brand new, most comfortable Tesla sedans. The first was from Greece, but she knew the area extremely well and got us to our Zurich hotel quickly. Our second driver ferried us to Basel and was very knowledgeable about Switzerland while very curious about the States. He was a world traveler and asked as many questions as he answered for us. This turned into an extremely pleasant interaction on our drive, and we were very grateful to have met him. I would highly recommend Alp Tranfer for any of your transportation needs in Switzerland.
    Dear customer, Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your positive experience! We are happy to hear that you had a great time with us. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit and providing you with another exceptional transfer service. Thank you once again for choosing AlpTransfer, and we hope to see you soon! Best regards, AlpTransfer Team

    Excellent service and good recommendations from a dedicated and friendly team

    Private transfer from Zurich airport to Zermatt
    AlpTransfer was great. They were very helpful via email to plan our trip. They were responsive and reached out to confirm before our arrival. Our driver, Verner, contacted us upon arrival and met us in the arrival lounge. He helped with all our bags and ski gear. Verner was very friendly and we had an enjoyable ride. They also coordinated with our hotel in Zermatt to pick us up at the drop off location.
    Dear Matt, Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience. If your travels bring you back to Switzerland, we'd be happy to assist you again. Safe travels, AlpTransfer Team

    Friendly, professional and reliable tax service
    Our driver Verner was superb. He drove us from our ski resort to Zurich (2 hours) safely and professionally but with a really charming personal touch. It was a pleasure to meet him and share our taste in music along the way. I highly recommend this reliable and professional taxi company.
    Dear Jamie, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We are happy to know that your transfer experience was delightful. We will pass on your kind words to Verner. Should you require our services in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be more than happy to assist you again. Best regards, AlpTransfer Team

    Best Airport transfer in Switzerland
    Best airport transfer service in Switzerland, and perhaps all of Europe. During our trip across multiple European countries, we utilized various airport transfer services, but Alp Transfer was the only company that not only met but exceeded our expectations. Unlike many other airport transfer companies in Europe, which often use Uber or taxi drivers, Alp Transfer employs professional and friendly drivers. Unlike our experience in Amsterdam, where our driver was already accepting another pickup before dropping us off and rushed the drop-off, Alp Transfer's drivers prioritize safety and comfort, ensuring a smooth journey right up to the gate. Their communication team is excellent, and we wouldn't hesitate to use their services again if we return to Switzerland. I highly recommend them!
    Dear customer, Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience during the transfer service and that it exceeded your expectations. If you ever require our transportation services in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out again. We would be more than happy to assist you. Safe travels, AlpTransfer Team

    The perfect transfer
    We had a transfer from Zurich airport to Lauterbrunnen and then the return trip a week later. Both journeys were impeccably completed by Andrew and then Stefan. Their driving was faultless - smooth, considerate and courteous. The cars were spotless, with personal access to the internet available. Their company was also enjoyable. A very happy experience. Thank you to Alptransfer and our drivers.
    Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We are happy to hear that enjoyed both of your transfers. We will surely pass your comments to our drivers. Thank you once again for choosing AlpTransfer, and we hope to see you again! Best regards, AlpTransfer Team

    Reliable Transfers
    I am very grateful to AlpTransfer.com that the transfer was on time, and they even upgraded our ride to the elite Benz minivan! The car is brand new! There were 5 of us and there was so much room. The driver Yuri (?) was very welcoming and accommodating. The included bottled water is a nice addition and well appreciated for travellers like us. From the moment I booked the transfer, they made our communication very easy. I will not hesitate in booking with this company again.
    Dear customer, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your transfer from start to finish. We'll be more than happy to assist you again. Safe travels, AlpTransfer Team

    Wonderful service to and from the airport
    I used Alptransfer for rides to and from the airport and could not have been more satisfied with the experience. Our driver, Adrian, was amazing! Not only did he make sure we got there on time, but he also went the extra mile by guiding us to our check-in spot. He was super kind and had us laughing the whole way with his great sense of humor. Adrian made the trip so easy and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend him and Alptransfer for their incredible service!

    Geneva Airport transfer in and out
    Fabulous service. On time. Good clean vehicles and excellent Drivers. We came in and out of Geneva Airport. Some of the group had time to kill on the way in and Alptransfer arranged an excellent Geneva tour. Arrived 15 early in Interlaken for the return. All super. Can’t imagine a better service.
    Dear Ted, Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our service and found everything to be on time, clean, and excellent. It’s great to know that the Geneva tour was a hit with your group and that you appreciated the early arrival in Interlaken.

We used Kimkim to help plan our two week family trip (party of 8) to Switzerland and they arranged AlpTransfer for various transports of our group to and from train stations and hotels and finally to Zurich airport.
We all thought that AlpTransfer was excellent! Reminders of pickup times were sent the day before, the drivers were always on time or a little early, appropriate size vehicles, flexible for earlier pick ups or changes in routing. It was easy to contact them - either by text or phone call (someone picked up the phone!) and the drivers were all incredibly nice and helpful!.
We did not use them for any tours but I would highly recommend them if you need to arrange dependable and courteous transport.

We loved working with Alptransfer on two different legs of our trip around Switzerland. The first was with Andrew, who picked us up from our hotel in Zurich and drove us to Lucerne for a lunch and brief stop to walk around the city, and then on to Lauterbrunnen so we could catch a train up into the mountains. Andrew was incredibly accommodating and a great conversationalist, providing us with lots of interesting insights into life in Switzerland. He made everything easy and we felt so lucky to have him as our driver for the afternoon.

Also, scheduling through the Alptransfer website was simple and easy, and they provided helpful updates and reminders prior to and during the trip. A+ service all around.

My trip to Switzerland exceeded all expectations. From the efficient organization at Zurich Airport to the expertly designed itinerary and knowledgeable guide, every aspect of the trip was meticulously planned. The natural beauty of Switzerland, as well as the cultural richness of its cities, made this trip a marvel. Thank you for everything.

We made a reservation and as things do happen, our flights changed and we asked to adjust the transportation on this booking. NO!
"Unfortunately, as per the terms of your booking, it is nonrefundable and non-amendable. Therefore, we are unable to adjust the service to accommodate the change in arrival airport from ZĂĽrich to Basel. If you decide to cancel the booking, kindly note that no refund applies."

Top notch! As we were pulling into the Basel Hauptbahnhof, the driver called me to let me know where he was outside the station. After that, we picked up our bags and were met by our driver. What a way to go. Direct travel and baggage assistance made it a smooth transfer for us. Could not ask for more. No travel anxiety when they make sure you are taken care of away from home.

Mr. Payan met us at the airport at the exact time and place. He was very knowledgeable about the city and its surroundings. The vehicle was clean and modern. He not also was the driver but his insight about private tours around the area was outstanding. Thanks to him, we booked an additional tour. It was a two-and-a-half-hour drive, and he kindly stopped for coffee and the restroom.

The experience varied depending on the drivers. One driver was experienced and informative. One was friendly but new to Switzerland and had trouble finding the attractions as the GPS was unreliable. One was very quiet.
Also, I wish AlpTransfer would provide the driver's name, contact number, and vehicle type for identification purposes once the job is assigned, like the other chauffeur company I used on the trip. It was awkward trying to locate the correct driver/vehicle on the day in question.
