Per the description of the trip and itinerary (photos attached), we were expecting to visit the Mer de Glace and Aiguille du Midi.
On arrival at Chamonix we were advised that the cable cars don’t operate this time of year and no access is available to either - at no point was this communicated before/after my booking.

Tried to contact the company to arrange a partial refund but they were not interested, although they have now amended the description of the tour per my complaint. If you do this trip yourself with Flixbus it would cost no more than £30.

Although the weather wasn’t sunny, the cable cars were closed, our guide was very nice and we went up to mer de glace by train. Which was magical nonetheless. It was snowing and very cold. After returning to town Chamonix, the guide did a quick show of the main spots, food tips, and let us do and go wherever wanted. Indeed a very well, easy and enjoyable experience.

We had an amazing time on this trip to Chamonix but be aware this price is just for the transport and the train cost an additional £50 each. We went in December and the cable card was not in operation due to maintenance that happens for a few months of the year as well so be aware it might not be open and if it is will again cost extra.

The mountain train was highly worth it though and the town of Chamonix is also very nice and much cheaper than Geneva.

Extremely nice guides and we liked having free time. The attractions being separate was confusing from the initial descriptions on the website. We still had a wonderful day thanks mostly to the two fun guides .

Average tour nothing great . Due to bad weather many things were closed so just charging 100$ USD for transfer from Geneva to Chamonix and back seemed pricy . Had to pay additional 30$ for the cable car. The chamonix town is small and pretty average . Most of the shops were closed to nothing much to do. Overall very average tour and over priced.

There were many reasons why I was disappointed in this trip.

1) it was never made clear that Chamonix is in off season right now. Normally that wouldn’t bother me. But apparently that means that some businesses are closed completely and others are only open limited hours. For example, it would have been really helpful to know that there is only one restaurant open at all and it is only open for lunch from noon to 2 then the kitchen is closed until 7pm for dinner. That would have been important information for anyone wanting to have lunch in the village.

2) I arrived late because I injured myself on the way to the tour pickup spot. There were two employees that I interacted with. One of them was very kind and did everything within his power and authority to make me comfortable while I dealt with a painful and frustrating situation. The other employee was curt and very unsympathetic. When I asked if I could get a refund, it was a flat out “no.” Why, then, does the app have a button to request a refund? When I asked if there was going to be a lot of walking she very flippantly said “it’s a village. You walk around as much as you like.” But the village was practically vacant. I had hoped to spend time relaxing somewhere with a view so I could rest my back and maybe have a nice meal. If I had known that wasn’t going to be possible I would not have even gone. So basically this was just an $80 bus ride. Totally not worth it.

Don’t go to Chamonix off season. Save your money and spend time in Geneva.
