3.00No guidance was given ahead of time for this tour. We had to pay 250 extra Swiss francs to have the guided tour in addition to the 250 that we already paid through Trip Advisor. The tour was nice, but we didn’t appreciate the ambiguity about the price.

5.00The cable car to the top of Mont Blanc is a 20 minute ride to the top. I wouldn’t recommend it for little kids. It is daunting. Once you’re there, the sites are magnificent. The guide was phenomenal. he was very funny, entertaining and knowledgeable.
Perfect day trip to natural beauty

5.00Perfect day trip out of Geneva. The cable car to Aguille du Midi was quick and the views were stunning. The train to Mer de Glace was shut down due to a worker strike, but I didn’t miss it because the town of Chamonix was beautiful and it was nice spending extra time there. Our guide, Niels, was great. Fluent in English and French with a great personality and sense of humor. Would highly recommend if you have a day in Geneva with nothing planned.

5.00What a great way to explore Chamonix and Mont Blanc. Our guide, Neils, was super personable, organized, and informative! We had a beautiful day in the weather and experience. The only disappointment was the train strike that prohibited us from going to the ice caves. But more time on Mont Blanc and in Chamonix was very welcome. I would highly recommend the tour.
Great day out with fantastic Tour Guide

5.00Absolutely fantastic trip. Neils our tour guide was superb. He gave us lots of information throughout the day and had a great personality which really made it a fun and memorable day. Mont Blanc was superb with clear views for as far as you could see. The Ice Caves were really interesting and informative. Had plenty of time for a lovely lunch and walk around Chamonix. I would thoroughly recommend this day as very enjoyable, with lots packed into it making it a really full day.

1.00We booked a tour 3 days prior and on the day itself we were in the Rue de alpes where the location of the bus was supposed to leave from. There were several buses who refused us bec provider was not included in the tour. Apparently the waiting area was farther the other street from all the other buses. We tried calling the operator and he could not be reached. Texted us they were about to leave but did not respond to my text that we are looking for the bus. We were eventually left (4 of us). No refund .

5.00Niels was a fantastic tour guide; probably one of the best we have experienced in our travels. He was very knowledgeable, personable, entertaining and accommodating. The tour itself takes you to some extraordinary scenery of Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains. This was a not miss tour and the highlight of our visits to Copenhagen, Norway and Geneva.
Worth going on this tour

5.00This tour is wonderful in every way. Neils, who leads this tour is an enthusiastic and kind young man. When I fell behind at the Ice Caves, reassuringly Neils stayed behind and climbed the stairs till I reached the Escalators to the top where the Train was. Throughout the tour Neils gave us valuable information. The tour started from a coach station. However, Neils waited at the meeting point mentioned on the Viator website. The scenery is magnificent from the top of Mont Blanc.
Great tour
