5.00If you visit Chamonix this cultural/historical tour is a must. Our guide, Karla shared so many historical points and monuments of Chamonix that if you don’t take this tour you will completely miss so many beautiful historical places of Chamonix. Karla has made Chamonix her home for nearly a decade and came to Chamonix to work as a chef. Karla is a still a chef and does the tours in addition to her career so she can meet visitors and share all the knowledge she has gained living in this mountain community that was the beginning of the Winter Olympics and birthplace of mountaineering. Karla also does private food events and tours and when we discovered this we signed up for her food tour as well. Karla’s involvement in the community and her career makes this tour a special addition to anyone’s visit to Chamonix! A must do!
A great way to discover Chamonix

5.00The visit was very entertaining. Not only did I learn historical information about Chamonix, I also had a lot of fun listening to anecdotes and unusual facts about the valley. It is always a pleasure to meet a guide as warm and pleasant as Karla, who shared with us valuable tips to enjoy the area, things I would never have discovered otherwise. I highly recommend this visit to those who wish to spend a quiet but fun afternoon, walking in beautiful corners of Chamonix.
Amazing experience
