Well organised and well run tour. Tour guide Amil was kind and knowledgeable. Views at Mt. Blanc were amazing and Chamonix was lovely.
The guide Chris was very good answered all our questions and queries we were very satisfied with the tour.
BEWARE!!! Do NOT GO With this company!The bus they booked did not even open the door at the bus station so all Of us waiting to board. I asked the boy who was wearing a red jacket by the company if that was the bus and he replied NO! Meanwhile the bus take soft empty and they want us to purchase tickets for another bus couple of hours later. She even yelled at me that I’m supposed to know. Meanwhile the boy is just sitting there. We had to wait 2 hrs and pay additional tickets.

I hate heights and cable cars even more but know I had to do this trip-. Marina was an excellent guide taking through the day really well. She gave us background on everything about the area, mountain and lots more. The surprise for me the trip to the glacier (or what is left of it), it really shows the impact of global warming. 10 hours is a long day but really enjoyable

Be wary of weather. We encountered rain, sleet, snow and wind for most of the day. The guide was excellent except for his haranguing about global warming (scam) and kept us informed about all that we saw. The bus was comfortable. The cog wheel train was fun and the history of the area was quite interesting.
