Zermatt / Matterhorn - Great time and view - This was an excellent tour. The hardest part was the 3 hour drive each way to and from Geneva but it was in a comfortable vehicle and our driver and tour guide Babis was knowledgeable and friendly. It was cool to see the Matterhorn (of course) but the highlight for me was the Glacier Paradise and being at the peak/summit (~10,000 ft altitude). Definitely dress for the cold up there (we didn’t :- ) but otherwise was an amazing view (when the blue skies peeked out). The restaurant was good for a quick snack. After that we spent time in Zermatt - pretty small town - just about an hour though - enough time to get a gelato though!
We were very pleased with this tour!
Oh one other cool thing - we had a lady in our group who was in a wheelchair. Babis and others in our group went beyond the call of duty and made sure the lifts would stop so she could get on and off safely. Major kudos to him and our group! There was a spot or two she couldn’t get to be we all made sure she could do as much as possible and it really made for a nice event as well. Awesome tour guide, awesome group.

Outstanding - It was an amazing experience with breathtaking views and getting to experience being inside a real glacier. Matterhorn looks so beautiful, and being on top of kleine Matterhorn was amazing. Zermatt is so beautiful and such a peaceful place. I would definitely recommend 😊

Horrible guide made bad experience worse - We reported to the bus station meeting point and waited for the tour guide. They unexpectedly moved the check in site to a building across the street causing us to be late to start.
Our tour guide "roger" then drove us out of geneva and when passing the headquarters of the WHO he began spewing anti-vax, anti-mask rhetoric. This continued for about 20 minutes.
Roger then yelled through a microphone cranked to 11 for the entire trip.
Upon getting close to the destination, the conspiracy theories continued this time with climate change being a "hoax".
The above made our excursion very uncomfortable. Not to mention the cars and mountain was closed for weather, something that could have been confirmed prior to wasting our whole day.
Roger, since you're so much smarter than all the doctors at the WHO and the climate scientists, I think you are wasting your talents and should move on from the tour business!

Fatal accident, waste of expensive tour time, compensation - Disappointment with utter apathy of Keytours
The tour van met with a horrible horrible accident 1.5 hours into the trip. Its both rear wheels detached, ran meters away from the van, which dangerously tilted on one side. This was on a busy motorway and could have been a fatal accident. We wasted 2.5 hours waiting for the replacement van shortening our rather expensive trip. Let alone any refunds or compensation, no company representative even met us on return to apologize. We almost lost our lives and in any case lost precious time from an expensive trip.
We demand a written apology from Keytours and an appropriate compensation amounting to $400 for two of us
