Geneva to Chamonix, Mont Blanc, and Montreux, by private luxury van

Our vehicle, a V-Class Mercedes van and chauffeur were excellent. The tour began and ended on time without any difficulty during the long 10-hour tour. The tickets to Mont Blanc by cable car plus the extra train ride to the ice caves were purchased by the company in advance. Rest stops for lunch, snacks, shopping and photography were taken care of. The entire experience was top-class.

Thanks Rui & AlpTransfer

If only they gave us a link

We used this company twice in two days - they are an excellent transfer company, however not really a tour operator. Their drivers are excellent; no fault of theirs - our trip failed only because we were unaware of how important it was to purchase tickets to go up the mountain in advance. Had we known how long it took to get from our Hotel to Chamonix, we could have planned our day accordingly and had so much better of a day instead of waiting for 2 hours to go up and another 3 hours to come down, not knowing that timed tickets are sold in advance. Trying to locate the proper website on the drive to Chamonix, as well as navigate the website took the entire hour drive. The private tour was relatively expensive, why not include the price of the tickets and handle it, or simply include a link to make it a simple process to complete the purchase with an explanation of how long it will take to get there? Had we bought earlier tickets up, we would have been able to get down earlier as well and berm able to enjoy the town, and then go on to Montreaux and spend a little time there as well as opposed to just driving by. It ended up being a very long day of waiting for really no reason other than the tour operator not providing simple good information.
