I was happy with the guide and driver generally. However the walk through the town was too long given that we'd just come from the cable car trip, which involved a lot of standing. It was a hot day in Chamonix and little shade. The group was large, so either had to stand in the sun or not hear. I would have liked the guide to assemble us after the train trip and point out where the bus stop is. I suggest you do an enlargement on the map of that area also as I know others had difficulty with it too. The scenery was great and organisation was good otherwise. I'm glad I went.

We had a great day trip to Chamonix from Geneva. The bus left right at 8:30am. The bus didn’t have a bathroom but the drive was short, around an hour. The plan for the day was a little confusing at first but became clear as we went along. Our guide (Chris I think) gave clear instructions about what to do and when and where to meet, and was careful to count the group and make sure we didn’t lose anyone. I’d recommend both the cable car and the train activities, or if you just do one do the cable car in the morning. The outing is expensive, we paid about $500 CF for both of us for the day trip, guide and both activities. Also had to buy our own lunch which was fine because we found an affordable and delicious middle eastern place in town. Recommended if you don’t mind paying for the convenience and having everything arranged for you. The weather was beautiful in mid August and we got incredible photos. Not too crowded, the activities have good crowd control.

Had a great trip! The tour guide was very nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Everything was very organized and we were provided itineraries for the day, which was much appreciated. Due to the busy time of year, we had a longer wait to come back down the mountain. Because of this we did not get to stop and explore the middle section of the mountain. Unfortunately a few people in our group were late coming down from the mountain so that cut into our free time at the Glacier.
