5Great experience
Great tour, Tony was amazing and the tour worth the money I highly recommend it. The only disadvantage is the train up the hill. Nothing to be seen there
5great adventure
Very well organized. Tour guide Antoine very knowledgeable. A very good guide. His interaction with the group was excellent. A professional tour guide. The aigle du midi is breathtaking. The Monteverdi train is a relaxed train experience. The weather was beautiful. A rainy day might have provided a different experience.

5Exceptional
This was one of the best tours I have ever done! I would highly recommend choosing all the options. The ice caves and trip up to Mont Blanc are not to be missed. Our guide was amazing and I just can’t recommend this tour enough!!
4This is a great tour if...
This is a great tour if you have an extra day in Geneva. We booked this rather last minute and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Chamonix is the cutest town with so much charm. I wish we would have had more time there! All of the stops are definitely geared towards tourists so the lines were very long. We waited an hour for the glass box and about that long for the train to get back down from the glacier caves so we did not get any extra time in Chamonix for shopping. Those are not the tours fault, but that is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts. But even being a little rushed this was still the highlight of our trip. The alps are beautiful and the itinerary was well organized.

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).
