We had a great time on this tour! It is jam packed, no real free time to wander Chaminoux but a worthwhile way to see the spectacular Mont Blanc and explore the ice cave (if you do the train add on, which is cool!). Niels was our guide and was excellent!

A great tour and the complete tour is a must. The cable car up to mont blanc is must and this is from someone who absolutely has a fear of heights and does not enjoy these things. Do it. The train ride is spectacular. Our tour guide Neil was a joy!

Paid for full experience, train journey cancelled and not been refunded.

I wish I could give this trip 5 stars, but I can't. Unfortunately my train ride to Montenvers was cancelled. I was really disappointed because I was really looking forward to it. The tour guide told us we would automatically get refund and a few weeks after the trip I didn't receive anything. I then requested a refund and they kept refusing, and not telling me why. It is very disappointing paying extra for the train journey only for it to be cancelled and not have the train journey refunded.

Good morning, thank you for your review. A cogwheel train can derail or moreover like 3 days ago, a pilar fell doan on the tracks, unfortunately we cannot prevent this causes. You have been refunded for the train part on the day by the guide. Giving a 1 star review, when the rest of the day was good is a bit extreme. Best regards

Only do this if you go with Chris, he is the best guide ever. He knew what order for us to do things so we could maximize our day and get everything in! We had enough time to view the gorgeous area and grab a quick sandwich at the base of the chair lift (or bring your own to save time). Layer your clothes for the top. This is a must do trip if in Geneva!

It was a great experience. We traveled as a family. The guide was very sweet and friendly. He communicated well in English and was very considerate to our family as we travelled with two small kids and a 2 month old baby. He shared a lot of information. Champonix is a must see if one is able to.

Awesome trip. Full program with beautiful scenery. Quick bus ride to Chamonix then up to the top of the mountain. We spent like 1 and half hours up there. It is so beautiful. Then we went with the mountain train to the ice cave. It was so beautiful. For us it was around 50 min so we still had am hour to look around in Chamonix. The guide Chris was awesome too :) very recommended trip

Wonderful Experience
Paula_W
, Jul 2022
This was an exciting tour to see some wonderful scenery and to enjoy visiting Chamonix (a great ski/hiking village). The weather delayed the cable car rides. but our guide hurried us through earlier than expected. Bring lots of layers in case of changing weather. We enjoyed the rain ride and the chance to see the ice tube (even though you will need to descend and then climb up 600 steps to experience it. It is a long day but food (and toilets) are abundant at Chamonix.

We anticipated a great trip as the cost was significant! Unfortunately, we were not able to do what we signed up for and the guide and assistant were missing for the majority of the trip. For $450 the cancellation of all of the events and a substitution for one was ridiculous. The weather ended in great sunshine but our guide was missing. He showed up fir 5 minutes at 2:00 and said go shopping. We met at 4:30 and waited on a bus he never got on for other people not in the tour to get on the bus. The tour guide and assistant did not return. This is awful. What a waste of funds.

Good morning, thank you for your review. However we don't understand it. You sign up the bus round trip to Chamonix, the guide is not going up on the activities as mentionned prior. He's guiding on the bus and in the village but on the top of the activities, you have free time to do pictures. The bus meeting is at 5 so that is why aou had to wait you came earlier. He returned on the bus. We still you enjoyed the views as Chamonix is the most famour resort in France

Excellent, but slightly rushed
Daniel_C
, Jun 2022
Our guide Niels was excellent, very knowledgeable and kept us well informed of the plan for the day. Both the cable car and train were very good, and both worth doing, however the day does feel quite rushed with both options - we missed the recommended cable car down for lunch by 20 minutes as we wanted to do the "Step into the void" and there was a queue, however we did still have plenty of time to get food by the time we got down before going to the train. The time at Mer De Glace was just enough to walk down to the ice cave and get back up again with around 10-15 minutes to spare before the train back. All in all, though, a very enjoyable day, and not one you'd regret booking.
