Excellent car service! They got back to me right away and then confirmed the night before, providing the drivers phone number. The driver, Ivan, was … More a true gentleman and even came to the door to help us with our bags. He got us to the airport safely and on time. I highly recommend Swiss Top Transfer GmbH. -
Terrific experience with Swiss Top Transfer - simply made my request online and received confirmation by email within a few hours. Driver was polite and … More on time. Not cheap but considerably less than our hotel concierge quoted. Would definitely use again.
