Our driver didn’t know the way and started heading off towards La Clusaz when we intervened and got him back on the right track. The journey took 50 minutes longer than it should have done, if we were first time visitors to Samoens heaven knows where we might have ended up.

Great comms

Great comms, the phone number of the bus driver was sent to me the day before travel. Bus turned up on time and good service.

One big hiccup but otherwise good

Our driver came with a car seat that was broken and thus could not be used as a rear facing car seat (which was required as our baby is only 5.6kg). Therefore we had to illegally drive the 35 minutes with it forward facing and tightly holding onto the seat in case of a crash.
The driver did drive responsibly and for our return bought a working car seat that could be rear facing.

Dear Hannah,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the condition of the car seat on your initial transfer—this should never have happened, especially when traveling with an infant. Your safety and peace of mind are extremely important to us, and we deeply regret the stress this caused.

We’re glad to hear the return journey was handled properly with the correct seat, and we’ll be reviewing this case internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us at success@alpinbus.com

NEVER USE. Drivers never turned up

The driver never showed up. No one would pick up the phone. On my arrival journey they also cancelled whilst I was in the air having already received driver contact details. AVOID!!!

Exceptional

Vilnis was welcoming, a good driver, and quite a gentleman with the bags and doors. He was careful to learn our preferences on the drive regarding going the quickest route vs seeing some scenery. We chose scenery and he even took us to a special spot that wasn't far away but was gorgeous and unique. Superb service!

Booking an airport transfer from…

Booking an airport transfer from Morzine to Geneva Airport in the shoulder season can be tricky due to limited availability. Nils from AlpinBus had the most reasonable price, communication was good, and getting to the airport was smooth.

Driver was courteous and van was clean and roomy. Two problems that were a part of the experience was that the van smelled heavily of tobacco smoke. Not something I have had to put up with in a long time and I happen to be highly allergic. Second thing was while I realized driving habits are different in Europe than those in the US, all of us felt he was driving extremely fast on several occasions, especially during heavy rain.

Definitely recommend Alpinbus

Dmitry was a fantastic driver. He met us on time and greeted us with beverages and snacks. He was so friendly and talkative when we wanted to be and quiet when we wanted to be quiet. Safe, effective, and courteous.

Great service

On time, good communication, clean vehicle and he was very obliging when the kids felt ill on the mountain roads and had to stop and have a breather!

Transfer ok. Poor communication

The actual transfer was ok, but driver was 70 mins late, and no contact from him to let us know that he would be late or what time he would get there. The number the company gave me for him was out of service and when I called the company, no one answered and I had to leave a message. They did apologise and made a commercial gesture as compensation but it was quite stressful waiting and not knowing what was happening. Good job I wasn't going for a flight or train!

Dear Kristy,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the transfer itself went smoothly, but we sincerely apologize for the delay and lack of communication beforehand. We completely understand how stressful it must have been to wait without clear updates, and this is not the experience we aim to deliver.

We're glad we were able to connect with you afterward and offer a gesture of goodwill, but please know we are actively working to improve our communication processes to avoid situations like this in the future.

If you have any further concerns, feel free to reach out to us at success@alpinbus.com. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide a much smoother experience next time.
