My tour guide has not been fair to all customers. I felt he didn’t treat us the same as the rest of the group. I felt mistreated and abandoned.He must improve and treat all customers the same way. Also needs to improve his English.

We had a wonderful time and the guide Poppy and driver Patrick were kind and professional. Amazing experience! The views are amazing! Chamonix is a lovely town. Everything great except train was under repair and they told us we would be given a refund. I contacted Viator and they said they were checking with tour company and still haven’t heard back. Hoping to hear about refund soon! Other then that lovely!

The cable car experience was wonderful. The views at the top were spectacular. Unfortunately the rest of the trip was less than optimal. We did not get to walk on the glacier and the alternative plan (another cable car trip) fell through as the facility was closed (our tour guide apparently did not know this ). We were all very disappointed and have been promised a refund . We are hoping this will happen.

Was disappointed when Train ride was cancelled however it was compensated with another cable ride which was worth and with much clearer how from the top as glasses were more transparent. It was freezing cold and raining but worth it. Lac Gaillands lake nearby was worth a visit.Must try tour with awesome guide.

We took this daytrip many years ago with my in laws. It was perfect conditions for the skiing and we took many photos of the snow and beautiful surroundings.

The price is perfect for those of us in failing art careers (Before I became internationally renowned on par with Picasso). Amazing experience for poor families and students alike to afford a slice of luxury in Mont Blanc.

Stunning! David was great tour guide. Train was closed due to weather but we were given other options or refund for ticket. Too cloudy at top to see anything but in the middle it was gorgeous!

This was a great tour. It all depends on weather. Luckily most of the time there were breaks in the clouds that allowed for some really special moments at the top of Chamonix. Unfortunately the optional train ride was cancelled due to I believe repairs to the tracks due to an avalanche. I opted for a refund for that optional excursion. But the town of Chamonix was wonderful to lazily spend time in and eat drink and shop. David our tour guide was great. They filled all 50 seats on the bus…which was fine because the group of people were nice and diverse.

What a wonderful experience! It was an amazing experience to see the Alps, and this tour was fun, informative, safe and comfortable. The bus ride there was comfortable and easy. Antoine was our guide and he was entertaining and informative, if you were interested in learning more. As a solo traveler, I was happy that he was easy to find and willing to help. I actually had no idea when booking this excursion what I was in for, and it exceeded my expectations. Perfect view of Mont Blanc from Aiguille Du Midi - of course this is weather permitting - and we were even able to view the Matterhorn from the top. We were not able to take the train ride to the glacier and ice caves, due to longer than expected maintenance work - completely unpredictable by the tour company or anyone else - but Antoine made sure to take us to another vista to view the glacier and again, kept us engaged and interested. The town of Chamonix is beautiful and has plenty of places to shop and purchase macarons! Would definitely do again.

Me and wife had few bookings with Viator around new year 2024 in New Zealand and recently we went to Glacier 3000 and then to Mont Blanc through Viator from Geneva. We appreciate there detailed information about itinerary, on time performance and honest pricing. Overall 5 star rating.
