Great experience
Adam_R, Jan 2023
Amazing experience seeing the snow on Mont Blanc and the ice cave. Not much time in Chamonix but highly recommended especially for people like us from Perth who never see snow.
Response from Host, Jan 2023

Disappointed
Neera_G, Dec 2022
Disappointed with the tour. Was informed it was a guided tour and that we had skip the line and would receive bottled water. None of this occurred. The tour company just acted as transport. Would have been better to have arranged my own transport and purchase tickets myself, as we still had to queue for over an hour. Disappointed that I did not have enough time to go down to the glaciers. This tour really ruined my mood. Felt disorganised and lack of communication. Also, the step into the void is at least 2hrs long queue.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Good morning, we are sorry to read your review. Every day there is a guide on the bus, if you arrive late, we manage to put you on another bus without guide but without extra charge as well. You have a reservation on the cable car so you skip the queue. You receive a map with all the itinerary, the guide comes up on the cable cr and on the mountain train,. Chamonix mont blanc is the most popular mountain in Europe and the most touristic one, so of course you can expect a crowd. It's a shame you didn't l isten to the instructions in order to have your day organised. Best regards

Good morning, thank you very much for your review. We are glad you enjoy the views on the Alps and the magnicient Mont Blanc. The weather is a lottery in the mountains but we try to make your day. Best regards
The views and the city...
Warka_B, Oct 2022
The views and the city were very nicebut neither the second cable nor the ice cave were available we should have been informed in advance as everything was paid for
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Hello thanks for your review. Chamonix is very small but a very pretty place. As it's a mountain trip unfortunately we don't know in advance if the cable car is open or not it depends on the weather, but we refunded you for the activities you didn't make. Regardind the ices cave it's the same problem except that you didn't pay for this activity because the entrance is free as there is no guarantees of access :)
Nice experience
lina_A, Oct 2022
It is worth it , but you need to make sure to dress warm to go up to mountain! But everything else was nice , I highly recommend it .

Deborah_K, Sep 2022
The view of Mt Blanc was spectacular! Our guide, Neil, provided interesting info especially in regard to hang gliding. The ice cave was amazing and we enjoyed the challenge of running up the 500+ steps in under 10 mins!

Buenos dias, muchas gracias por tu comentario. La excursión a Chamonix es una excursión de montaña, implica riesgos. De hecho, estamos sujetos al clima: viento, nieve, hielo como te puedas imaginar. Y antes de llegar a Chamonix, no sabemos si las actividades se abrirán. Si están cerrados, reembolsamos parcialmente las actividades pero no el transporte. El guía realiza todos los reembolsos en el lugar el día del recorrido. Gracias por contactarnos si no envió su hoja de reembolso. Esperamos que le guste el pueblo. Mejores saludos
