5Long, but rewarding, day with views and experiences beyond amazing.perienc
Overall, a fantastic day out. Long, but fun, day. Our stupendous guide, Chris, met everyone at the coach with the superb driver, Tom. Off to Chamonix, where the huge vistas come into view once you leave Geneva. Once in Chamonix, Chris walked us to the cable car station, handed out tickets and thoroughly explained what was available and the times to meet back, etc. The cable car rides were amazing, with views to die for. Once at the top, visibility was severely restricted dur to the clouds, but that didn't take anything away from what was on offer. Cold, snowy, rare air...just what we expected, really! Back in Chamonix we had time to grab lunch, then meet Chris again to head to the mountain train that takes you to the Mer De Glace glacier. Again, stunning and worth it. Back to Chamonix, again, a quick hot drink in a cafe then the bus back to Geneva. All in all, thoroughly recommended. Our guide and driver were both excellent, with Chris being extremely informative and helpful. Take the opportunity if you're in the area.

5Amazing guide amazing experience
It was an AMAZING experience! Our guide Chris lived in Chamonix so it felt more authentic, he gave us interesting facts and kept us entertained with his own stories and experience. It’s a long day but definitely worth it to see the beautiful view of Mont Blanc and see the ice caves! Chamonix is gorgeous too!

About Geneva
Geneva is a lakeside city in French-speaking Switzerland, home to the Jet d'Eau, a hilltop Old Town, many international bodies and views of Mont Blanc.
Geneva lies at the western end of Lake Geneva, where the Rhône flows out toward France, with the Jura and the Alps on either side. The Jet d'Eau, a fountain that shoots water 140 metres into the air, marks the harbour. The Old Town climbs a hill to the Gothic Saint-Pierre Cathedral, where John Calvin preached, and the Reformation Wall in the Parc des Bastions shows its leaders in carved stone.
Top-ranked sights in Geneva: Geneva Water Fountains (Jet d’Eau), Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), St. Peter's Cathedral (Cathédrale St-Pierre).
