The tour started well with an impressive briefing by Neill, our knowlegeable tour guide, about the ice age and the formation of the mountain range. Unfortunately the cable car was not operational due to the ski season preparation and testing. However we got our refund.The train ride and the trip up to the mountain peak was well worth it, with scenic views of the imposing mountain range and large bluish green glacier. The weather wasn't as cold and the snow/ice as thick. Lunch was quite good. Overall, a satisfying tour.

The tour guide was very helpful. I left my camera flash in a statue at the town square. He was kind enough to go back for it while I had enough time to take pictures of Mont Blanc. It was unfortunate though that the cable cars were not available. So my cousin and I got a refund for that portion. There was no snow ergo there was not much tourists probably for the cable car to operate in the right economies of scale.

The trip was not without issues - firstly the bus had a problem before leaving Geneva so this caused a 30 min delay. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side on the day so we did not go up the mountain but spend time in Chamonix. Thank you to Niel for doing his best to make the trip memorable, nonetheless. Would book another trip with Viator. Thanks for the refund for activities not completed.

We were unlucky with the weather, rain-snowing, so Mont Blanc tunnel was closed. Telefrenique and rail part did not run on this day, so we were refunded for not being able to do the Mont Blanc portion of the trip. Guide was nice. Lunch was not worth the price.
