Great Experience

Amazing guide amazing experience
It was an AMAZING experience! Our guide Chris lived in Chamonix so it felt more authentic, he gave us interesting facts and kept us entertained with his own stories and experience. It’s a long day but definitely worth it to see the beautiful view of Mont Blanc and see the ice caves! Chamonix is gorgeous too!

Mont Blanc Chamonix Tour
Great tour and loved our (French) tour guide Antoine. He gave us sobmuch information about trip logistics and all the places we visited. If you book this tour please book the cable car and cog train otherwise you are missing out on seeing Mont Blanc and the surrounding Alps as well as Mer de Glace and the Ice Cave. As always Trip Advisor tours are the best.

This tour was very well...
This tour was very well run and the tour guide really looked after us well. The timings were excellent, with just the right amount of time allotted to each activity. The trips to the top of the mountains were well worth the expense.
