“Excellent from start to finish,, everything was smooth from hopping on the bus until the end train. Olga the guide was excellent explain everything in detail. Overall good day tour.”
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.”
