5.00A full day of excellent activities. Normands was a very helpful and engaging guide. If you get the chance to add the gondola from Mont Blanc to Italy - take it! You will not be disappointed.

5.00Tom and the driver were great! They were prompt and friendly. Tom has great knowledge of the area and the countries! He was very friendly and really enjoys his work! We rode several gondolas to the top of Mont Blanc, and then walked to a train station and rode the train to a building where some went into the ice cave. Afterwards, our family walked around the small town of Chamonix for lunch and shopping for about 90 minutes and then were driven back to Geneva. There is quite a bit of time outside and in non-warmed areas such as the gondolas and buildings. We went in April when there was some light rain that day and also snow on the ground. Additional layers and shoes with slight traction may be needed depending on the conditions when you visit. There are also quite a few steps to reach the top of the buildings so something else to keep in mind. Tom was good to adjust the pace to keep our group together which was appreciated! Overall, a wonderful time and definitely glad we booked this tour!
Once in a lifetime experience.

5.00Hector was our tour guide and Tom our driver and they’re both amazing. Since we’re from Mexico we asked for the guide to speak Spanish. We had an incredible time, we had an early start and we could appreciate everything without crowds. Hector took us to an amazing restaurant and overall the tour was once in a lifetime experience. We got clear skies so were able to appreciate a sunny Mont Blanc with its amazing views. We’ll be back for sure ! Thank you Hector and Tom it was great meeting you!
Driver/guide does his job as a good friend.

5.00Driver/guide rating : great, nice, fantastic man. Made our day completely after the false start by the organization Keytours (see my review on the organization of this excursion) The driver/guide really took very good care of us. Have been able to do both the cable car Aiguille du Midi (up to the middle station - not highest point because of too much wind) and the mountain train to the glacial cave despite the lost time due to the organization.
Great experience with Mont-Blanc

5.00Breathtaking view of Mount Blanc although it is as crowded. We were told the wait to take pictures from the glass window would be an hour so we skipped it. Ice cave was a unique experience but the climbing to and back was strenuous. Walking through the town was wonderful and we had a nice meal with wine at a pizzeria. It was crowded though and the rain made it a bit uncomfortable. Our tour guide Zed provided valuable information. For a private tour for 2 people we felt a mini bus was excessive. Overall it was a great experience!
Must do! So good and beautiful scenery and history!

5.00Incredible tour. We had an amazing day seeing Mont Blanc and then walking down the steps to the glacier. The area is so beautiful and really captured the European old world charm. The hand gliders flying overhead and the incredibly rugged back drop of Mont Blanc made this experience unforgettable. A must do! My family talks about the mountain, tour, food and overall experience.
Could be better

3.00I took a private tour, they still put us in a bus with minimal views with the tiny side windows. The driver, who is not really a tour guide, was nice and helpful, but was quite throughout the drive. I thought we were supposed to have a professional guide. At least at the end of the day, the "train" ride was unpleasant and the que was more than an hour long. Not cool! The ice cave was beautiful, but take care to take your time and enjoy it. The driver will not tell you how brief it could be and other obnoxious and ignorant visitors/tourists will hurry you up Mont blanc is magnificent depending on how cloudy it gets....weather and visibility can change several times an hour.
The entire trip was life...

5.00Our guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. Despite the weather not fully cooperating (one lift closed), the town was charming and the trip to the glacier was worth the trip.
