1.00They did not comply with the description of the excursion, I have requested refund of part and they have not replied, I will publish it on networks so that they do not deceive more people.
Expensive but a good experience. Can imagine it’s breathtaking if you get the right day

3.00Due to strong winds we never got to go up to the top or step into the void we only got to the half way point but it was so foggy we couldn’t see anything at all. Still glad we got to go half way at least as it was touch & go for us on the day but it was an expensive trip & we will need to pay to go back & try it again which is unfortunate. The ice caves were also closed when we went so that was also a bummer. So all we got was half way in the cable cars & a ride on the train basically. I think you should get some sort of refund in these situations but I know it’s not something they can control
Great tour

5.00Everything was perfect. You better be sure Can and train works. Otherwise you will miss a lot. Tony and Hakim are great. Thanks.
Not really a tour… misleading wording as to whats included and TICKED!

2.00Not really a tour… just expensive transport….think you are booking everything that the little ticks say…. But no! Make sure you scroll down after the ‘book’ button for the other options which are way more expensive and have the ‘options’ for the train ride and cable car… both of which were shut on the day we went! When the tour guide (who was very polite) explained that we did not have it included, he then charged us £230 extra for two train tickets and two cable car tickets… if purchased directly from the source would have been considerably cheaper. The train was cancelled due to works that had been confirmed the day before… viator and keytours still had this package available when we booked the night before and on the assumption that we were doing this tour, it was very misleading that they had it available when it was not. Chamonix is lovely bit very sleepy in the morning when we were dropped off and did not get the picturesque glacier train ride so had hours there for breakfast, lunch and a very leisurely wander. The views from flegeres at the top are incredible. Book your transportation yourself dont bother with the tour as its just a glorified transfer from geneva to chamonix. Book directly with the cable car company and the train… easier to get a refund if they dont go ahead.
A great day out!

5.00Loved the experience of visiting Chamonix and whilst the weather wasn't great (didn't see much!), this was made up for the fact our guide Chris put a lot of effort into ensuring that the day ran smoothly, making for an enjoyable day out
Highly recommend fun times

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!!
