Superb Trip - Fabulous day and very well organised. Best experience. Did suffer a bit of altitude sickness but didn’t ruin the day.

Great day out worth every penny ! - Chamonix and Mont Blanc Day Trip from Geneva Geneva Great day out ! Worth every penny! Your guide was great cheers Chris 994226840 Our review on the day trip from begining to end . Chamonix and Mont Blanc Day Trip from Geneva (KTG104) - Chamonix GOLD To start the day we arrived a little earlier (8:15) then suggested (8:30) as I wanted to make sure we were in the right place with the details they provided- (Geneva Bus Station 1201 Geneva, Switzerland). I found the address didn't show directly where it was so I have provided a pin drop below for exactly where our bus was ! https://maps.app.goo.gl/kTR1bf46WvLURoTm8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy The bus was very comfortable and almost felt new, it had a glass roof which was cool and unexpected the bus company was SWISSTOURS there office is directly opposite the bus station (Swisstours/Keytours). We left sharply at 8:36! However the bus wasn't full. I'm assuming due to the time of year it was a little quieter. Once we got going Chris (The Guide) introduced himself and Niall (the driver). He explained how the day would go and what we would see and do on the trip. Which was brilliant as it gave a clear picture of the day . We then traveled for around 1h20 minutes with some greats views to chamonix bus park, where we left the bus and walked towards the cable car station. Chris then explained that because we had really good weather he would allow us more time at the top to get the most out of it. We had from 10:00 till 14:00 to travel from the bottom to the top and back down which was plenty of time to see everything and even get some lunch in with an amazing view! (Check out the photos ). Once 14:00 came we rejoined as a group and walked over to the train station where we all including Chris heading up the mountain and he showed us all around the ice caves and then waited for us to make sure we all got back to the bottom on the train. At 17:00 we got on the bus at the train station where we headed back over to the chamonix bus station to pick up a few others who had booked different activities. At this point we had already spoken to Chris about getting a bus direct to the airport he said this was not a problem at all and took us off the bus and placed us on a different one where we rode it all the way to Geneva then the airport which was perfect timing for our evening flight ! We honestly couldn't have been more happy with the day we had and the service we were provided with! Thank you very much Chris !! And Swiss tours/key tours Hope to see you again soon George and Charlayne

Fantastic tour! - The tour was fantastic! Very well organized. Audovan was a wonderful tour guide, highly knowledgeable and meticulously planned. Clean comfortable buses. Mount Blanc is breathtaking. Ice caves is also a must see. Make sure to go into the glssss box. Overall a wonderful experience. Only disappointment was that there was not enough time to look around Chamoinx. The scheduled activities do take up most of the time. Highly recommended!

The height, the views and the snow! - combo of cable car ride to l'Aiguille du midi and the train ride to Montenvers - The experience in all was very special. So good! My favourites were the cable car ride to Montenvers wirh the views of Mer de Glace (just surreal), and the Plan de l'Aiguille where the kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow. The very top of l'Aiguille du midi (at 3842m height) is as exhilarating as it can be challenging (mountain illness). I found that descending to Plan de l'Aiguille (at 1035m height) for lunch at the cafe and play in the snow was perfect!

Solo trip - Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful place to visit with lots to see and do. The people were friendly and helpful and the scenery was outstandingly beautiful. It is definitely a place I would like to visit again with more time to explore. Thank you to the guide and driver for making my experience so enjoyable.

Worth it even on a cloudy day - Despite a cloudy day it was an amazing experience. Chris the guide was very clear about where to go and when/where to meet. Other than that he didn’t really tell much about the places so it’s more of a self guided tour of each stop. He did give us extra time at Aiguille du Midi because the weather was supposed to clear up and we would have a view. You have plenty of time to see everything and take pictures.
