Reviews
it was a great experience. I’ve signed up for the cable car and mountain train. Tour guide was amazing, very helpful and organised. The area wasn’t too crowded. Too bad the weather was a mixture of cloudy and a bit of sun. overall is great 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely love the itinerary! We were blessed with good weather so we upgraded cable car and was able to get good pictures! Chamonix town was so quaint and beautiful, definitely one for the books! our tour guide was super nice, helpful, and also added a surprise at the end! The waterfall is beautiful! I'm so glad we booked this tour!
Book the transfer ticket first and check the weather to decide if you want to take the cable car or the mountain train (you can top up for cable car and train on the spot). It is important to have sun to get a good view of Mont Blanc. We were blessed with good weather on the trip.
It was so beautiful! The guide Babis was very kind as well, took us to a beautiful lake that was probably half an hour of hike away. Breathtaking to say the least, the cable car was a grand experience. One for the books — makes you feel like we humans are such small creatures ✨
It was a disappointing itinerary due to bad weather, but the guide was very friendly. If I have the chance, I would like to visit Mont Blanc one more time. The scenery is so beautiful and there are so many things to eat nearby. I took pictures at the best photo spots explained by the guide, and I think I got a picture of my life that doesn't deserve a postcard.
This event will match local travel agencies in Switzerland. Due to weather changes, they will coordinate with me via email whether to change the itinerary. They have a lot of itineraries to choose from. In the end, I chose to go to Zermatt. The tour guide is kind and interesting. He will help you arrange everything. You can get on the bus to sleep and get off to play.
I read the reviews and were initially worried it wouldn't be a guided tour. Chris was fantastic for the tour today. Indeed there was a lot of time left for ourselves to explore and wander, Chris actually went up the cable car with us, and provided instructions and recommendations at the top, before we were given time to explore on our own. Same situation with the tram when he did went up with us and gave instructions on the ice cave. The instructions provided by Chris, including meeting timing and meeting points were really clear with no issue at all. Recommend to get the cable car and tram tickets together otherwise there's also a need to get it when we reach the destination point. Unless you only want time to walk around chamonix town and not to go up the mountain at all, one would definitely need the cable car and tram tickets for this particular tour.
It is very beautiful place, and guide tour was friendly. I am happy to join the tour it saved many times to plan and moving. Only the weather was cloudy that day, so I can not see clear mountain on the top of aiguille du midi.
This is a must! It’s my first time in Swiss Alps and it did not disappoint! We went all the way up and the sky was clear. First time ive seen snows like glitters! We went to glacier area too. What an amazing experience!
Trusted. Well organized. Attentive guide and very unforgettable experience. Worth it. Tips of the day: Remember to bring Euros when you are in Chamonix. Swiss Francs less preferred. Recommended to buy souveniurs in Chamonix compare to Geneva due to exchange rate.
Good to know
Insider Tips:
- Dress appropriately for a day in the mountains. Chamonix, the top of Aiguille du Midi or on the Mer de Glace, is generally colder than Geneva
- In Chamonix, the currency is Euros. Swiss Francs will most likely not be accepted
- Chamonix is in France. You will cross the Swiss–French border, so a passport is required for non-European visitors, or a valid ID for EU/Schengen travelers.
