Fabulous Day - We had a fabulous day. The trip to Mont Blanc was the highlight of the day for us. We enjoyed the train ride to the ice caves and our time in the caves. The only downside was the size of the group. Two buses combined for 90+ people. It worked out fine but wasn’t what we expected.

Breath taking views - Aguille du Midi and Mer de glace were beautiful places. If you're going to Geneva, take this experience. Bus clean, on time, good guide. Just take a coat with you because up in the mountains, you probably will want one, and take some water, chocolates or food also, because you can get dizzy due to the fewer oxygen at 3000ish meters.

This tour is a MUST! - This experience is a MUST! The day was jam packed with so many things to see, but was very organized. Our guide was wonderful and took the time to answer all of our questions. I would suggest packing snacks, as we didn’t have time for an actual sit down lunch on our tour (delays with the gondola). Incredible day!

Wonderful Day in Chamonix - We had a wonderful day and had time to do all the things (glass box, glacier etc). Our guide was wonderful leading the way and setting expectations of meeting times and locations. He also suggested a few great lunch spots. The weather was perfect and the views were stunning!

First time visit to the Alps - Coming from the US and visiting Switzerland for the first time, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the mountainous regions beyond Geneva. I booked this tour with my adult (just past college) son. Being both obese and having a chronic knee injury, I was concerned at how strenuous the activity would be, and to be honest, there was a lot of walking and stair climbing at altitude. If you’re neither fit nor accustomed to it, the tour can be strenuous. That said, everything was gorgeous, especially the views at the end of the cable car lift . (I forgot to add: I’m afraid of heights and occasionally also experience vertigo.). Chamonix itself was picture perfect, and it was easy to find snacks or do a little shopping. At the end, the chance to explore the ice caves in the glacier was another don’t miss experience — though again, with many stairs on descent (and later ascent). Finally, this wasn’t a follow-the-guide-with-the-flag kind of tour. Our expert guide brought us to the locations, told us what to expect, set a return time, and freed us to explore on our own. My kind of tour.

Worth it, but get there early! - The trip, activities, and the guide (Chris - the superstar) were great! I recommend getting the “gold” all inclusive pass for this one. Those that didn’t get it had to pay a lot more on site. The top of the mountain was stunning. Head first to the glass box as it gets busier later on. Bring a lunch to eat at the top, or the space between the two gondolas. Once you get down back to the town, peruse centre street and get a gelato. Then the mini train and gondola to the ice caves was very neat to see. The only downside was that the morning arrival was a mess. There were multiple busses for this company and it was chaos with nobody knowing where to send people. I got sent to the wrong bus 3 times in a row. Even though I was earlier than the mentioned time, the bus was already full. So come early if you’re looking for a good seat. Also, the driver holding my phone to see what ticket I had dropped it on the gravel cracking my screen.

Excellent experience - Luxury coach travel excellent guide and great experience- unfortunately we felt there was not enough time to do everything we wanted- there was an hour wait for the glass box (so could not do this) and lunch was rushed
