5.00Dress warm! It was -3 Celsius up there, but even that was awesome. Our tour guide, Christian was magnificent, he herded our group and ensured that we had a great time. And oh the sights, to be at the top of Europe! Seeing Mont Blanc, a life changing sight. To learn about the glacier, and we even saw a boulder fall while we were there. Just a magnificent excursion.
Outstanding excursion-do not miss the experience!

5.00Firstly, bus station is easy to locate, and the Swiss Tour coach was extremely clean and comfortable. Coach left on time for an hours drive to the magnificent ski resort town of Chamonix. Driver was confident, and a big thank you for navigating carefully. David our extraordinary tour leader, made added effort to clearly communicate instructions to each person on our tour. David delivered a fantastic commentary of the history, the extra tours, and much more… This tour brought one of the greatest experiences I’ve encountered. The scenery from 3,800 meters was breathtaking, absolutely breathtaking. We were blessed with near perfect weather giving opportunity to see an endless flotilla of major snow peaked mountains. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone and everyone. Thank you to David, and Swiss Tours for a memorable day!!

5.00We had so much fun with Rodzers at Mount Blanc last week. The day we went it was snowing and Mount Blanc not too clear BUT we had so much fun anyway playing in the snow, going through ice caves, playing in the look-outs and learning about Mount Blanc. I brought my ice skates but no rinks were open for the winter season in early October but I was good to know they had an ice rink for the future!!

5.00Chamonix is a charming resort village. Mont Blanc is the amazing highest point in the French Alps. We were lucky to have great weather and seemingly unlimited visibility on the mountain top. Getting up there on the cable car was a thrill in itself.
