Niels somehow magnifies the already massive beauty and majesty of Chamonix, Mont Blanc and the remaining glaciers by orders of magnitude. Just book it. If you have a soul you will not regret it, I promise.
Breathtaking views! This was a tour not to miss if you are in Geneva. Nels (sp?) was a great guide and he was very knowledgible in the about the geography and history.
I’ve been traveling for years and this was hands down THE BEST tour experience I’ve ever been on! Niels was the greatest tour guide we’ve ever had. The day was full of fascinating information, mountains, cogwheels, ice caves and Niels stayed with us every step of the way, making it the smoothest and easiest tour we’ve ever done. The jokes didn’t hurt either! This is a fairly expensive tour and was worth every cent to have the full experience we had.
Absolutely incredible experience! A huge thank you to Nills, our tour guide. He was engaging, funny, told us really interesting things about what we were seeing or going to see. He tailored our trip to take advantage of the best time at an experience (on Mont Blanc, in town, and at the ice caves). Really well done excursion!
This was the highlight of our trip. Definitely book the full package (not just the basic one). The cable car rides and walk about on the top of Mont Blanc was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had anywhere. Nils, our tour guide, was excellent.
We will love it. It was one of the most wonderful day of our live. Me and children enjoyed the tour from the start till the end. Thank y
Very informative. Fun the whole time. The tour manager was very knowledgeable . I feel my day well worth.
This was a breathtaking tour. The ice caves were amazing. The town was beautiful. I would warn anyone with health issues to be sure you can handle the altitude - my stomach went into spasms and scared me to death. But it went away. Our guide Neals was one of the best guides we've ever had - he was knowledgable about so much, had great stories, was funny, didn't go too fast, watched out for everyone, gave us time to enjoy the day. Great tour!!
Niels is a fantastic guide!! He is very knowledgeable, very helpful, and very personable. Every aspect of this all day tour was executed with professionalism and care for each individual. Niels knows so much about the area, and he gave us the information in an interesting way. We highly recommend Niels and this tour.
Brilliant.
What a host Niels!!
Absolutely brilliant!
Would recommend this tour to anyone!
Young or Old!!
A truly wonderful day in Chamonix & the Alps!
We highly recommend it.
Niels, our guide, was excellent, very knowledgeable & friendly & helpful in so many ways!
Busy day but well worth the walking and the steps. We had an excellent guide in Niels! He was so knowledgeable and made the journey very enjoyable with his wit and stories.
Exceptional tour! Niels was a wonderful guide full of great information. The pace was good and the sites were fabulous! Excellent day! Many thanks!!!
Everything was perfect! The scenery was amazing, the driver was friendly, and the tour guide, Neal, was the best. His passion for his job was evident. He was so funny, knowledgeable, and dedicated to his work. He even helped rescue a climber before our meeting time. It’s definitely something we’ll remember forever. Plus, the weather was perfect, and we gave it two thumbs up!
Neils was a fantastic and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. His passion of the region was exceptional and made for a highly enjoyable day.
We had a wonderful time on this day trip to Chamonix. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The sites were absolutely gorgeous and the tour was very well organized. Would definitely recommend!
A full day trip must to go. We have Neils as our tour guide., 5 stars for him and this company. He was very organized, instructional, and charming :) All people (40+) came back safe and sound. We had a great time in Mont Blanc and amazing experience inside the glassier.
This was a fantastic day trip to see Mont Blanc from the Aguille Du Midi. The cable car ride was fantastic and the views spectacular. Our guide Niels was superb all day long. Very helpful and friendly, and very easy to talk to. He had great knowledge and organised the day beautifully. After the lunch in Camonix and a short time to walk around, we then went up the Glace Du Mer cog railway to bee the glacier. The Ice caves were amazing.
Tour is expensive but worth it for the spectacular views. Would have liked more time in Chamonix to explore but we only had 55 mins for lunch as cable car was delayed. This was not enough time to find a nice restaurant and enjoy our lunch without getting indigestion. Maybe skip the ice caves if you want to enjoy Chamonix more. Niels our tour guide was excellent, very informative and funny
It’s a full day tour and you’re on a timeline so don’t be late! The altitude is no joke and can make moving difficult. Completely worth the view at the top. One of the best tours we’ve been on.
Excellent tour -made brilliant by our guide who shared his amazing knowledge throughout the trip.
I was travelling with my 17 year old son and husband - and despite a big storm being forecast, our guide change the itinerary so we got to do everything. Our group was the last to do the ice caves. Lots of steps and in the heat I got a coffee and enjoyed the view while my husband and son took the cable car down to the caves! Would recommend.
I’m so glad I joined this tour. It had been a long time since I last traveled alone, so I was feeling quite nervous, but this tour exceeded all my expectations.
The guide was not only funny and engaging but also incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. The itinerary was very well organized, with regular restroom breaks and smooth transportation throughout the day.
Before the tour, I asked what kind of clothes I should bring, and the guide replied directly and very quickly. I was also worried about finding the meeting point, but the communication before the tour was excellent.
I honestly think this tour is much better than trying to visit these places on your own, whether you’re traveling alone or with your family. You learn so much more, everything is well planned, and you can simply enjoy the experience without wasting time.
I highly recommend booking and paying as soon as possible to secure your spot. This tour is absolutely worth it.
I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends, and I would happily join another tour with this company in the future!
Our experience was delightful; the tour itself was magnificent, but our guide made it fun & informative and provided important guardrails to keep us on time but liberty to explore. Neils is one of the best guides we have ever had!
Neil (aka Ronaldo) was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and interesting. The cable car and glacier are experiences we will remember forever!
Brillliant experience with an awesome and knowledgeable guide. Well worth doing this tour as the scenery is awesome and the experience is exhilarating
Our guide, Niels was phenomenal: personable, knowledgeable, entertaining and just the right amount of engagement for us. We typically don’t do guided tours but this was amazing and simple. We have free time to grab coffee and a pastry when we arrived in chamonix for 30 min before our first gondola. Had an hour and 20 for lunch with an abundance of choices for lunch. Niels recommended various lunch spots. We went the last week of July so layering your clothing is necessary. It is warmer in the town but cold at the peak and in the ice cave. We packed a small light weight packable down jacket, but wore a tank top and jeans. Packed a bottle of water. Most of us had a backpack per couple for clothing layering. Can’t say enough about Niels our guide and his friendliness and the knowledge he shared which we would not have benefited from if we went on our own. I recommended doing the full day full package, not the basic trip. Our trip include transportation to chamonix and our cogwheel train, and all the gondolas and entry to the Mer de Glacé, ice caves. Trip is prob not for those with severe fear of heights. But the sights are breathtaking and amazing.
The trip is amazing, and our guide Neils is funny and knowledgeable. When a few of us are left behind on the cable car down to the village,
he's waiting at the station to make sure everyone arrives.
I feel lucky that the weather is sunny/cloudy up there, and i had a great view of the Alps.
I cannot say enough good things about this tour. My family actually rode the train from Paris, and stayed two nights in Switzerland, in order to take this tour. It was totally worth it! I am a big fan of nature but wasn't sure if my husband and two teen daughters would enjoy this as much as I hoped to. So thankful that they did! We each took dozens of photos, and anytime anyone asks about our three-week trip to Europe, this tour is what gets our family pulling out our photos and talking over each other in excitement.
Niels was an excellent tour guide. He had so many interesting things to share about Switzerland and France. Facts that made my teenage daughters excited to relay to others when we returned home. He was also great at pointing out hang gliders and rock climbers all around us. His experiences are incredible to hear, as well.
The views were unbelievable from the top to the bottom of the mountain. The glacier was so much more than we expected. Tunnels to explore in all directions. The cable cars were exhilarating as they climbed the mountain. The train ride to the glacier made us feel as if we stepped into a Bob Ross painting.
My husband continues to tell people, "I was seeing it all with my own eyes, and didn't believe it was real".
The town that we explored for lunch and free time, Chamoniox, was my favorite from all of the places my family visited on our road trip of three countries. The bakeries and restaurants have me dreaming of returning someday.
In case you can't tell, I highly recommend this tour. I didn't want it to end.
It was a truly amazing trip! Our guide was outstanding and we had fun and learned a lot about the area! Would definitely recommend!
Neils was a fantastic tour guide! He was very personable and made this experience a very memorable and special day. The views from Mont Blanc were breathtaking and he had great shopping/eating recommendations in Chamonix Sadly, the train wasn’t running today due to a strike but Neils did everything possible to try to make up for it. I highly recommend this tour. Definitely ask for Neils. You won’t be disappointed.
