What a wonderful experience! It was an amazing experience to see the Alps, and this tour was fun, informative, safe and comfortable. The bus ride there was comfortable and easy. Antoine was our guide and he was entertaining and informative, if you were interested in learning more. As a solo traveler, I was happy that he was easy to find and willing to help. I actually had no idea when booking this excursion what I was in for, and it exceeded my expectations. Perfect view of Mont Blanc from Aiguille Du Midi - of course this is weather permitting - and we were even able to view the Matterhorn from the top. We were not able to take the train ride to the glacier and ice caves, due to longer than expected maintenance work - completely unpredictable by the tour company or anyone else - but Antoine made sure to take us to another vista to view the glacier and again, kept us engaged and interested. The town of Chamonix is beautiful and has plenty of places to shop and purchase macarons! Would definitely do again.

Me and wife had few bookings with Viator around new year 2024 in New Zealand and recently we went to Glacier 3000 and then to Mont Blanc through Viator from Geneva. We appreciate there detailed information about itinerary, on time performance and honest pricing. Overall 5 star rating.

We booked our premium tour to Chamonix - Mont-Blanc from Geneva with Keytours S.A. and had a wonderful trip! Our guide Chris, was very pleasant and knowledgeable with the right amount of commentary throughout the trip allowing time for everyone to enjoy the beautiful sights along the way and the incredible mountain experience. We got everything that was promised in the brochure and the bonus of glorious weather for amazing views of Mont Blanc from Chamonix, Montenvers, and Aiguille du Midi. Unforgettable!

One of the best experiences I had ever. The Chominx town and Mont Blanc mountain was excellent and I had a lovely time with my wife. This should not be missed under any circumstances.

The ice cave was amazing! Prepare to walk steps and then steps back up! But so worth the trek!!!
Hard to believe that a family carves thus out EVERY year!

We were lucky that the weather was favourable - brilliant blue skies and no wind. Chris the guide was nice and since it wasn’t too busy we didn’t need to rush too much or queue for too long. The walk down to the ice cave was easy enough but steep so perhaps not advised unless reasonably fit and steady on your feet. Nicely organised, definitely recommend.

This was a great tour! The weather wasn't so good the day we went and it was snowing and freezing at the top of the Aguille du Midi, but it's the mountains so you get the weather you get, but we still had a wonderful day, and by mid-afternoon the sun was shining and we had great visibility at the glacier. Our guide was punctual and very helpful and made sure to account for every passenger. It's expensive to do the full package, but my mom and I thought it was worth every penny! I'd definitely recommend - it's a perfect way to take in Chamonix and Mont Blanc in one day and still be back in Geneva at a good time for dinner!
