Her deep knowledge of the Old Town’s history, as well as the fascinating history of chocolate, really brought the experience to life. She shared so many interesting insights about chocolate that I had never known before. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,324 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $131

Guided day trip from Geneva to Chamonix and Mont Blanc viewpoints, with optional Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace ice caves.

“Environment was amazing! There were a number of opportunities for improvement. The bus ride there was cold on the lower level. All the windows were fogged over so you could not see. The outside windows of the bus had not been cleaned. The cafeteria on the mountain had abysmal service. There is a huge opportunity there. Someone should go to the Zermatt/Matterhorn cafe and see how it should be done. Someone of the people were very cold and a warning may have helped them dress better. Clearly world class but relied too much on the mountain and not enough on the service.”

“Excellent way of seeing the city of Geneva. The little train went through the heart of the old city. The bus tour was great because it took us past all the interesting sites including UNESCO, UNITED Nations, Red Cross. It was very interesting and the English commentary was informative. It was great to have stops to see the broken chair and the flags lining the entrance to UNESCO. It gave us a great outline of Geneva so that we could explore on our own.!”

“I feel the need to review the tour described below. This was a 2 hour bus tour. As we departed the lot the guide announced it would be a walking tour because the driver had to get to the airport. He knew about this but alllowed us to board the bus anyway. I am sure we would have cancelled as I am scheduled for knee surgery and wanted a bus tour. 45 minutes into the tour the bus stopped and made us deboard and start the walking portion. While our guide was knowledgeable, he hurried and only those surrounding him could hear him or see him for that matter. He…”
