The tour guide was excellent. I was on a business trip to Geneva with a friend and her family and had no idea how close Chamonix France was to us. The weather happened to be intermittently rainy but that didn’t deter all the great sites that we toured. I highly recommend booking the Gold package. The sky lift, the bus tour and the opportunity to eat lunch was amazing.
Excellent

Tour was well organized and the guide (Chris) was helpful and friendly throughout, especially during the tour to the Cave de Glace. Very pleasant and gave good advice on local places to try as well as very clear on when and where to meet.

Highly recommended! That is a must-have experience, we found these places splendid! You just need to carefully follow your guide's instructions and not to be lost like us, but later we found our group and haven't missed a thing. On the whole, that trip was unbelievable!

Fantastic experience and a great all round day trip. Hard to imagine a more picturesque place. Chamonix is a beautiful chocolate box place and Mont Blanc and the ice cave are incredible
