Traveler reviews
Could not buy ticket through app or the bus. The bus driver did not speak an understandable English.
Tried to book a tour at the office. They gave me a pamphlet with an URL to scan. Supposedly you can book a tour and pay that way. I tried that many times for half an hour and could not get it to work. Went back to the office and they told me buy a ticket at the bus. The bus came and I tried to buy a ticket from the chauffeur but he did not speak an understandable English so I had to give up and the bus drove off. Went back to the office very pissed off as I believe I made many reasonable attempts to buy a ticket. I did raise my voice as I was very annoyed. How hard can it be to sell me a ticket? They wouldn’t sell me a ticket and told me to leave their office and they threatened to call the police if I did not so.
Amazing Tour, Amazing Guide. Must do!
Due to the Marathon in Geneva, the itinerary was changed and we were able to visit Chamonix, Aiguille du Midi, and the Ice Cave. Our Tour Guide was Chris who is a resident of Chamonix so we got a very personal experience. Chris was an amazing guide who was with us on every step of the tour sharing his knowledge and guiding us. The tour itself was amazing.. the visit to Aiguille du Midi to the amazing views at the top to the pictures in the Glass box and views. We were able to see with great visibility before the clouds rolled to turn everything white. The visit to the ice caves was interesting and unfortunate too. But it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend taking the tour!
Wonderful!!!!!
Dress warm It snowed on us while we were at the top. I thought I could not do the 200 steps down (and up) to see the glacier cave! So happy I did. The highlight was walking INSIDE this beautiful huge glacier. Loved it. Everything was wonderful. We ate at the snack shop and it was delicious! I highly recommend taking this tour. Also, the tour around the city was fabulous! I liked the European United Nations and the huge chair!

<p>We certainly enjoyed the lifts to the top of Mont Blanc and even the drive to Chamonix. The tour was short but about as good as you could expect. We did not do the walk to the Glacier, which was the full day tour. It was certainly worth the price.</p>

<p>This is one of the best tours I've did with viator, the group was small, guide was so informative and it was all arranged nicely, no rush</p>
