Traveler reviews
Great day trip to Chamonix including ski lifts and mountain train journey
Great day out starting with luxury coach trip from Geneva Bus Station to Chamonix. Took ski lifts to Mont-Blanc viewpoint in the morning and mountain train journey to view Mer de Glace glacier in the afternoon. Not able to visit highest viewpoints or Ice Cave due to adverse weather conditions but nevertheless had a very enjoyable day out. Well organised tour by Key Tours SA with a very knowledgeable local guide. Highly recommended.
Unforgettable experience ever
Bring warm clothes should be included in the reminder. Otherwise, this was an unforgettable experience we ever had.
Bus, cable car, train, skylift
The day was long, but I clouded a lot of interesting things. The tour group is large and you go between lots of modes of transportation, so don't bring a large backpack if you don't want to carry it all day. Bringing a warm jacket is recommended for the mountain time, but it gets hot down in the village. The line was long for the glass box at the top, so get in line right away to ensure you aren't late.
Fantastic Experience
Entire trip and agenda was perfect! Our guide Chris was wonderful with just enough info plus some great suggestions.
When we booked we thought...
When we booked we thought it was quite pricey, but the trip was well worth it. Well organised and the tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. We were fortunate as we had perfect weather. Would recommend to others.
