Highly recommend. It’s nearly impossible to get reservations on the gondola and the tours save you a lot of time. David was a great guide. He kept us on time and made sure all the folks behind got caught up since there was so many things to do. This is great for a day trip as it’s a huge hassle ...
Highly recommend. It’s nearly impossible to get reservations on the gondola and the tours save you a lot of time. David was a great guide. He kept us on time and made sure all the folks behind got caught up since there was so many things to do. This is great for a day trip as it’s a huge hassle to get all the passes in place on your own. Very comfortable bus which you will need since you’ll be exhausted from the activities.398up

Guide was fantastic and gave us great knowledge of the trip and also give us idea on how to get possible view. My son had lots of fun and had an amazing experience from cable car to train, glass cabin and to be on top of the Mont Blanc.

This is was such an incredible experience. I did the full tour including going to Aiguille du Midi and the mountain train the Mer de Glace. I enjoyed the cable car ride up to Aiguille du Midi, it was quite cool to see that as I have never seen anything like that before. The views from the top were unbelievable, I am from a mountainy area but the Alps are on a whole different level, this was one of the coolest sites I have ever seen. The mountain train was nice, you get some good views of the valley and mountains as you climb up towards the glacier. The glacier has quite a long walk with a lot of ups and downs but it was pretty cool. You get to walk inside tunnels in the ice. The tour guides were very helpful and were clear on times and locations. My only suggestion is to check the weather before and go in the spring/summer. Overall excellent experience.chippy_chips

Fantastic day out, heartily recommended! Our trip included return coach travel from the centre of Geneva (right around the corner from our hotel) to Chamonix, cable car ascent to Aiguille du Midi, and the Montenvers railway to the Mer de Glace glacier with an ice caves viewing. The ascent to Aiguille du Midi is stunning, the clear highlight of the day, and truly memorable. It offers incredible views, and there is a surprising amount to do when you get there, with a nice block of time to wander around and take in the scenery. The 'Step into the Void' experience is not to be missed! The only glitch for us was what felt like an error in timings with the last part of the tour, the railway ride to the Mer de Glace glacier. Given the huge queues on the day, and the time required to depart the train, walk to the ice caves, then get back in time for the last train down to Chamonix, we didn't have time to do the actual cave viewing, and so this part of the tour for us was simply a (cramped on the return!) double train ride with nice views. However that didn't detract from the overall tour - it's expensive but well worth it for the unforgettable Aiguille du Midi experience.Claire_N

It was such an amazing experience. Breathtaking views although it was very cloudy. We could not see anything at the top of Chamonix but the cable car views were nice. The train was also a very nice experience.
