The culmination of an awesome vacation. Honestly the Alps were a dream come true. The ride up from Geneva wasn't that bad and the weather was beautiful .So on our tour we had the snow capped peaks with warm weather and lots of sunshine. The coolest thing was the cable car ride to the top, breath taking. Great tour.

I can't say enough good things about my guide Neil! Really nice intelligent man. Chamonix is the model that Vail and many of the other older American ski resorts were fashioned after. We had a nice meal there, which is part of the package. Youu also get to visit glacier. The lead edge of the glacier has been modified so that you can walk inside of it. Very interesting! Mont Blanc is about 12,000 feet so your oxygen debt may make you a little uncomfortable at first but don't let this scare you off, the view is pretty awesome from up there.

Very well run. It rained that day, so the Aiguille du Midi ride took us into a total whiteout blizzard at the top. It would probably have been spectacular if we could see anything, but that's not the tour's fault. The Montenvers experience was spectacular. You definitely need to walk down to the ice caves, which are roughly 10' diameter tunnels dug deep into the glacier. One of the most incredible experiences ever. The lunch meal was very good and served at a fine restaurant.

It was a very smooth trip although the weather was not good with all the rain and snow. We couldn't see the Mont Blanc either. BTW, what made the trip so pleasant was the guy Neil, he's absolutely nice and funny.
I'll come back another time. Hope to go again with Neil. Thank you.

I really loved this trip. Our guide from Key Tours Antoinette was amazing! Loved everything about this trip - chocolate factory visit, fondue lunch, visit in Gruyeres, Golden Panoramic Express Train, and farewell glass of wine in Lavaux. If I am ever back in the region with my children, I would take this trip again with them. Highly Recommend!

This was a fantastic tour. We love the mountain experience and this definitely gave us this. The tour was well organized and the drive there took us through beautiful scenery. France has beautiful part of the alps. We had a snowstorm at the top so it kind of hindered our view but there was some openings which gave us some photo opportunities. The altitude really affects you up there and so we didn't do the elevator to the top. Chamonix is a beautiful quaint village that we spent some time in picking up some souvenirs. You need to bring a lot of cards for your camera because there are so many beautiful shots you want to take. The tour is a full day but very well planned out. All was very well organized and the guide was very well informed on the whole area. You need to do this tour also.

Only problem was the commentary wasn't loud enough at the back of the coach. We told the lady doing the commentary, but it seems there was nothing she could do. If they turned up the volume, the sound system started to feedback.

It was a great trip. Host was good, transportation was good, and place was amazing. What I feel that time was less for such a great place. I wish I would have lasted more.

Great inclusive city tour
This was a good tour but unfortunately it was raining during the city tour so it was hard to take pictures. I would have liked that we would have stopped at the United Nations building and walked around for maybe 15 minutes, just a suggestion. Other than that the guide was very informative. The Boat Cruise was really nice and fortunately the sun came out for that and the rain stopped. So this was a good tour but felt the city tour needed some stops to break up all the info and also to see it up close.
The trip was generally enjoyable with eat all you can chocolates at Cailler chocolate factory and a wonderful homemade swiss cheese fondule cooking session together. Trip could still be improve if we can get to see the process of cheese making at Gruyeres. The terrace in montreux was a good experience as well. The tour guide was exceptionally informative and fun to be with. Overall the tour was a success ! Would definitely recommend it to my friends !

After paying for this tour it was changed twice. The first change was that it was not going to Nyon, but it would go to the countryside. We were already traveling when they sent the email, so we said we would go ahead and keep the tour. At the departure they told us there would not be a countryside tour. I think they should refund some of the money paid. The tour guide was very good and we enjoyed her commentary.
