Gorgeous mountain top experience
This was perhaps the best start to finish tour we have ever done. The vehicle was immaculate—complete with a clear roof to make the most of the Mountain views. Our guide was outstanding and so fun! He made sure we knew exactly where to go and even made lunch reservations for us at a fantastic restaurant. We loved every minute of this excursion!

Local tour company used is not reliable or trustworthy
Unable to go on the tour because of all activities being down on Mont Blanc. The night before our tour we were called by the local tour operator and were offered a trip to Glacier 3000 as an alternative. We were to be picked up at 0800 but the driver came at 0830 to inform us that the alternate trip to Glacier 3000 was no longer available because of the weather. The local tour company who operates the tours offered the day trip to Annecy which was a ride to the town and back home with a 1 hour guided tour that is on the Viator site for $96.42/pp. We paid $1181 for the 8 hour tour to the top of Mont Blanc with additional activities (which cost extra). We went to the tour company office and the ladies in the office confirmed that we would be refunded the difference. We were only refunded $498 (they actually emailed me to tell me they accidentally refunded $247 twice by accident). Viator will not refund the difference between the originally booked tour and the alternative tour claiming that we got some special non-advertised tour that was only $198 than our original tour. We were picked up at our hotel, we drove to the tour office, the guide drove us to Annecy and walked around with us for 20 minutes and then we left at 1230. And this was not a guided tour. He basically showed us where to go and where to avoid. The advertisement was for a 1 hour guided tour. This was a glorified Uber ride that they charged $661 for. I checked the Uber price and it was $177. And our guide used curse words the whole time by the way. Definitely Not professional and I'm glad my kids were not in the van with us.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that the weather conditions affected your experience — unfortunately, the Mont Blanc activities were fully closed for safety reasons, which is beyond our control.
I would like to clarify that we contacted you the night before specifically to inform you of the closures and to offer you options, including the possibility to cancel for a full refund or to choose an alternative tour. We did our best to give you this information as early as possible so that you could make the decision that suited you.
Regarding the alternative option: although Annecy is less expensive as a standard shared tour on Viator, in your case you participated in a private tour, which means that the main cost covers your private transportation and a private guide for the duration of the service. Even with a shorter itinerary, we still provided a private driver-guide, hotel pickup, exclusive vehicle use, and the guide’s time for the morning. These fixed costs remain the same regardless of the destination chosen. Best regards

Organization has problems with planning.
Assessment organization Keytours = disaster. Trip 25/12 private transport. I guess we'd forgotten. Called, texted and e-mailed for more than half an hour to no avail. Fortunately received help from our hotel = local number was answered. Picked up 1 hour later than planned. Unacceptable for yet a pricey excursion. Tip for others: call the organization the day before for confirmation that everything is in order.
Operator response
Good morning, thank you for your review.
You do receive confirmation before the tour. our office is open from 7 and all the tours starts around 8 so we don't understand how you could not reach us. It sounds that the driver guide made your day enjoyable. We hope you keep good memories of Chamonix Mont Blanc. Best regards

Splendid experience in the Alps with David
We booked a trip to Chamonix and climbed the Aiguille du Midi, we visited the small town and took the train to the glacier Mer de Glace. The trip lasted nearly 10 hours. We had David as guide. For us, he is the best guide we've ever had! He is a very warm person and, being a 'local', knows the region well and shared his knowledge. There was never a dull moment! We talked a lot, had lots of laughs and, also thanks to the excellent weather, had a fabulous climb to the top of the Aiguille ! The view over the valley, the Mont Blanc , Matterhorn and other mountain tops was breathtaking! We will certainly revisit the region and ask specifically for David to guide us again!
Operator response

Amazing Day! Highly Recommend! Excellent Guide! 5 plus stars!
My husband and I booked the Private Transport to Chamonix with driver-guide. This was absolutely one of the best tours we have ever been on! Our guide was David. He was both professional and personable. He knew all the ins and outs of the area and helped us to get the most out of our experience. David picked us up at our hotel and then we drove to Chamonix. He had already booked our cable car tickets, so we did that first. We took the cable car up to Mont Blanc / Aiguille du Midi. David made sure we had the best view on the cable car ride up. There are actually 2 different cable cars and we had great views on both of them. Once we got to the top, David made sure we were doing okay due to the altitude. (He had given us pointers on how to adjust prior to going up). We walked around outside and took lots of pictures. Mont Blanc and the alps were so beautiful! David pointed out Matterhorn and various spots so we didn't miss anything while telling us the history. We even saw people who were hiking! Afterward we stopped at the café before heading back down. We had lunch at a local restaurant that David had suggested. The weather was nice so we sat outside. The food was great! Next we took the railway to Mer de Glace. David suggested we walk through the glacier first and then come back for pictures to avoid the crowds. The glacier was amazing! It's hard to believe how much it has melted. You can hear it melting as you walk through it. David was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us as we toured the area. I cannot say enough great things about David and this experience. We were lucky that we took the cable cars earlier in the day as it got windy and they closed in the afternoon. We are thankful that David had planned everything for us so we received the best experience. I highly recommend this tour and David. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he loves the area and his job. If we have a chance to return we would do this all over again!
