What an excellent experience! Enjoyed the gondola ride to the top and the “glass box”. It was a very busy day so there were lines everywhere. The train ride was fine but we felt the ice cave was underwhelming. Enjoyed walking around in Chamonix.

Very good trip, unfortunately we weren't able to make the most of it due to the weather, I'm looking here at Viator for how I can request a cable car ticket refound but I can't find it. Be careful when choosing the day, it's not the company's fault that the weather forecast is bad and the tour has to go the same way. So we have to understand

Even though the day was cloudy, you can still appreciate the magnificence of Switzerland’s beauty in its mountains, forests, glaciers, and the ice cave.

This tour would be fantastic on the right day, but unfortunately the cable cars were closed due to strong winds. I understand that's the risk we have to take with this type of tour but I was disappointed.

On the coach the tour guide was really good and very knowledgeable. And he did mention that he hoped the cable cars would be open but we weren't told until we got to Chamonix that they were closed. We had to wait until 11am to find out.

We did manage to do the mountain train up to Mer De Glacé which the views were amazing. It takes around 20 minutes to reach the top.

Other than that, it was a full day in Chamonix and there really isn't a great deal to do there, so time dragged.

Pick up time was 8.30am and we didn't arrive back to Geneva until around 6.30.

I'd definitely try and go to Mount Blanc again but I'd do it in my own way, so that if the cable cars are closed, you aren't stuck there for hours.

The good thing about doing it with this company though is they give you a refund for the things that are closed, unlike some companies I've read reviews for saying you don't get any type of refund.
Just waiting now to get my money back, hopefully it won't take too long.

I would not recommend taking this excursion if you value your hard earned money. The tour guide Bobbi was quite nice and personable but compared to other guides I saw during my excursion didn’t stack up. There was very little information shared during the tour about sights and it was also very hard to hear him when he spoke unfortunately. During the bus trip he mentioned a couple random things as we passed but shared little to no detail about them .

Then when we got to Chamonix I assumed we would go up and explore, have a little free time and then meetup with the group guide again to check off the next item and have him along to share information and keep everyone together. It was nothing like that. He initially gathered the group to get us past the line for the cable car to Mont Blanc, went up and hung around for a bit and let tour members do whatever they wanted. Then he disappeared and everyone from the group scattered and had to find things to do on their own for the remainder of the day. There was zero actual guiding or information shared. Considering the cost of the trip and the fact that the train wasn’t operational it was a MASSIVE waste of money. I could have simply bought tickets for the cable car Independently and arranged transportation to Chamonix for cheaper. I was under the impression based on the tour page that this was a guided tour and would be well organized and make it a memorable experience. No such luck. Avoid this tour like the plague.

Yes, the views, knowledge, and weather were fantastic. However, the guide was the best ever. Spoke crisp clean English, his knowledge was outstanding, his experience incredible, humor fantastic, smiling, he was friendly, helpful and cared about all of us. He is tall guy so he kept track of us and was easy to spot. I trained many people in real estate for over 40 years, his talent is out of this world. Someone needs to hire him to an executive position ASAP —- he’s loaded to the gills with talent. He’s a winner! Call today, he will make you rich.

Absolutely amazing tour with Viator. The experience will give us ever lasting memories. Truly, knowledgeable, friendly tour guide, made such a difference. Highly recommend using them, if you want to cramp in as many things to do as possible in only a few days.
