A journey from another world. Everything is great and easy.. It is better to plan for each person beforehand so as not to waste your time in duplicate places.

Had a great experience. Felt very comfortable going on this excursion solo, and it was the perfect mix between a guided and independent experience. The views were amazing, tour guides were friendly and helpful.

This trip was enjoyable and the staff very friendly and helpful! I was booked onto the independent tours so none of the additional activities involved unless purchased separately on the day, a whole day was much too long if going for the independent option but the trip was good regardless. Communication from the company was good and the staff provided a map, itinerary and clear instructions about navigating the area.

The tour is nothing more than a bus transfer to Charmonix. The moment we get there the bus driver even didn't know what to do with us, he had to call the company to understand whether he should drop us off at the bus stop or not. We found other people with us completely lost as well and trying to seek for help from information desk. The agency didn't explain anything about the tour. Ok, we were aware what we opted for the self guided/independent tour, but on the advertisement they were mentioning different places to visit misleading us to believe they would take us to those places and from there we would be on our own, however there wasn't anything included at all apart from the bus transfer. Furthermore, we bought a 6 hour tour because we couldn't arrive late in Geneva, but there were no buses before 5pm so we had to stay all day in the city since early in the morning.
The title of the announcement should be "Bus Ticket to Charmonix", nothing more. I am very disappointed with Viator and Key Tour for the service provided. Charmonix is a charming village which I highly recommend to go, but not with these agencies.

I went to Geneve for the weekend and took a trip to Chamonix. Our tour guide/ bus driver Zak was fantastic. He really had a great sense of humour and made our experience so much better. He was wonderful. He went above and beyond what he needed to do for us and we greatly appreciated it. Chamonix was so beautiful. The large Cable Cart was closed but Zak took us to a smaller one which was still a wonderful experience. I would highly reccomend this trip!

The advertisement for the tour highlights access to Mt Blanc and the Glaciers. They were closed and we were not warned ahead of time. In fact virtually the entire town was closed until December. There was nothing to do. We left early. A total waste of time and money.

The mountains are beautiful, the shops are lovely and the onion soup was delicious. I wouldn’t recommend going to Chamonix at the beginning of November as most attractions, plus many pubs & shops, are closed at that time.

Awfully rude man checked me on the coach, so not good first impression but the on board guide David was lovely and the drive was pleasant. Walked around Chamonix for a couple of hours, worth the visit, such a pretty town, and was back in Geneva mid afternoon.
