He also went above and beyond by recommending great local places to eat, which really added to the overall experience.

Expect maps and tickets from KeyTours, limited guiding, mountain weather, and a long but memorable day.

“The trip up to Aiguille du Midi was not quite as we expected. You're crammed into the cable cars like sardines the same, if not worse, as being on the London underground. Not comfortable. You can't relax and enjoy the views. And if you're not keen on confined spaces you won't like it - you simply have no space to move. But the views at the top are - of course - fantastic. Having read the previous reviews we were looking forward to meeting the local host Neil. That was a bit disappointing too. He was both patronising, impatient and quite rude. I'd be amazed if any of the overseas…”

After returning to town Chamonix, the guide did a quick show of the main spots, food tips, and let us do and go wherever wanted. Indeed a very well, easy and enjoyable experience.”

9.Private Tour to Chamonix Mont-Blanc Scenic Glass-Roof Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 23 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $615

Travel from Geneva to Chamonix in a private vehicle, ride the Aiguille du Midi cable car to 3,842 meters, and take the Montenvers Railway to Mer de Glace. An early start helps with crowds. Guides such as Normunds, Tom, Hector, and Christos have earned strong praise, but weather can close lifts and hide the views.

“Breathtaking view of Mount Blanc although it is as crowded. We were told the wait to take pictures from the glass window would be an hour so we skipped it. Ice cave was a unique experience but the climbing to and back was strenuous. Walking through the town was wonderful and we had a nice meal with wine at a pizzeria. It was crowded though and the rain made it a bit uncomfortable. Our tour guide Zed provided valuable information. For a private tour for 2 people we felt a mini bus was excessive. Overall it was a great experience!”
