Things to do in Rhône-Alpes, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: The Best Transportation

October 16, 2021 Alida England

From the rare truffles of the Drôme to the vineyards of Beaujolais, the Rhone-Alps reveal the treasures of French cuisine. Gastronomic pleasures are complemented by the lush countryside, filled with fields of lavender. UNESCO-designated Lyon has first-century Roman ruins and the 19th-century Basilica of Fourvière. Forts and castles dot the landscape around Grenoble. Work off excess calories on the slopes of Chamonix and Megève. Visit during fall to take advantage of the grape harvest and many festivals.

These guys are running a brilliant business. They are fabulously responsive, cars are great, our driver Domagoj on the way from the airport was very knowledgeable and friendly and Zoran on the way back also gave us helpful advice. We had to change our booking last minute because the resort shut and I emailed just before MIDNIGHT and had a response ten minutes later and a revised transfer at midday that day! Our emails were always answered almost immediately and service was polite, organised and efficient. Cannot rate this transfer company highly enough. Thank you Simon and team!

Taxi Morzine

Private airport and rail transfers operating to and from Geneva Airport and the Morzine-Avoriaz area. Licensed in-resort taxi service.

Reviewed By O4688LLfrankg

We used Taxi Morzine for transfer from Geneva to Morzine in March and we were very impressed with the efficiency of both Jo and Yannick - and really appreciated advice and flexibility during the Coronavirus lockdown which started while we were in Morzine. Yannick's advice to catch the 10 minute train from Geneva airport in to Geneva to kill hours waiting for our return flight, rather than 7 hours in the airport was really appreciated as we had a few hours sitting in the sun by Lake Geneva! Many thanks - will definitely recommend and will use again if we return to Morzine!
