Niels somehow magnifies the already massive beauty and majesty of Chamonix, Mont Blanc and the remaining glaciers by orders of magnitude. Just book it. If you have a soul you will not regret it, I promise.

Breathtaking views! This was a tour not to miss if you are in Geneva. Nels (sp?) was a great guide and he was very knowledgible in the about the geography and history.
A must do! Niels our guide was brilliant.
I’ve been traveling for years and this was hands down THE BEST tour experience I’ve ever been on! Niels was the greatest tour guide we’ve ever had. The day was full of fascinating information, mountains, cogwheels, ice caves and Niels stayed with us every step of the way, making it the smoothest and easiest tour we’ve ever done. The jokes didn’t hurt either! This is a fairly expensive tour and was worth every cent to have the full experience we had.
Absolutely incredible experience! A huge thank you to Nills, our tour guide. He was engaging, funny, told us really interesting things about what we were seeing or going to see. He tailored our trip to take advantage of the best time at an experience (on Mont Blanc, in town, and at the ice caves). Really well done excursion!
This was the highlight of our trip. Definitely book the full package (not just the basic one). The cable car rides and walk about on the top of Mont Blanc was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had anywhere. Nils, our tour guide, was excellent.
We will love it. It was one of the most wonderful day of our live. Me and children enjoyed the tour from the start till the end. Thank y
Booked this trip the night before and was so happy that I did! Chamonix and the views of Mont-Blanc were unlike anything I have seen before, it was absolutely stunning. I'm not usually one for tours but our guide was super chill and there was plenty of free time to go explore/step away from the group. I went on this day trip in mid-September which I was told was the off season. There were barely any lines and the tour price included all the tickets for the activities (cable car, train, ice caves) so we were able to skip the lines if there were any. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone traveling around Geneva and wanting to go on an epic adventure out of the city for the day!
Very informative. Fun the whole time. The tour manager was very knowledgeable . I feel my day well worth.
This was a breathtaking tour. The ice caves were amazing. The town was beautiful. I would warn anyone with health issues to be sure you can handle the altitude - my stomach went into spasms and scared me to death. But it went away. Our guide Neals was one of the best guides we've ever had - he was knowledgable about so much, had great stories, was funny, didn't go too fast, watched out for everyone, gave us time to enjoy the day. Great tour!!
