We were lucky that the weather was favourable - brilliant blue skies and no wind. Chris the guide was nice and since it wasn’t too busy we didn’t need to rush too much or queue for too long. The walk down to the ice cave was easy enough but steep so perhaps not advised unless reasonably fit and steady on your feet. Nicely organised, definitely recommend.

This was a great tour! The weather wasn't so good the day we went and it was snowing and freezing at the top of the Aguille du Midi, but it's the mountains so you get the weather you get, but we still had a wonderful day, and by mid-afternoon the sun was shining and we had great visibility at the glacier. Our guide was punctual and very helpful and made sure to account for every passenger. It's expensive to do the full package, but my mom and I thought it was worth every penny! I'd definitely recommend - it's a perfect way to take in Chamonix and Mont Blanc in one day and still be back in Geneva at a good time for dinner!

I had so much fun! Beautiful outlook! Fun ride on a lift up!
If you are going in spring definitely bring all your warm clothes and be ready for a possible snow and wind! I was there April 22 and temperature was -15* on the top.

Amazing views. Cable car was incredible engineering to go so high. The glass cave was a natural wonder. Just a note of caution that you should be able to go up and down lots of stairs and because of the altitude you will get winded. Only suggestion for the tour is to have the guide throughout the day not just at drop offs and pickups.

Only a weekend to explore for fun associated with business travel - this was the thing to do! Beautiful scenery, sufficient free time with just enough guided tour to learn and enjoy!

This was a phenomenal day trip to Chamonix.

The start point was within a few hundred metres of our hotel which made for a gentle start. The coach ride was comfortable and uneventful (except for the van on fire by the side of the motorway). Thank you to Hakim for driving us.

The trips within the day’s excursion (to the mountain peak and the Mer de Glace) were extremely well communicated and organised.

The trip to the summit of Aiguille du Midi Mont Blanc was outstanding. The cable car rides and the views were fabulous. A word of warning though, the effect of oxygen deprivation at the peak can be unsettling. Our guide warned us so we were prepared for the effects.

The train ride and walk through the Mer de Glace was an amazing experience. The history of the glacier is explained in simple terms and it is a fantastic trip.

A comfortable ride back from Chamonix followed. A fabulous day out and worth the time and money.

Great trip, amazing views, 1,2h drive from Geneva.
Everything was organized in a timely manner, didn't need to queue for entrance.
Wear warm clothes as it gets windy and chilly up on the mountain view terraces.
The line to the glass box can get long, so start with that.
It might seem that there's a lot of time, but in the end time goes really fast.
