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!

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!

Highly recommend - Thomas was an amazing guide and we had a wonderful day! - There were different price points for various packages:
Transportation only, driver (50-70 person busses) without guidance
Hire a driver/guide and be in a small group
Hire a driver/guide for a private transport
We selected “Private Transport to Chamonix from Geneva with driver-guide.” This was a more expensive choice but proved well worth the price.
Thomas from Keytours (Switzerland) was at our hotel front door early, had a professional appearance wearing a Keytours shirt, and had a clean vehicle waiting for us. We picked a 0730 meet to beat the rush, as most tour buses leave town after 0830.
Thomas was an amazing guide. He had our tickets ready and a time slot for the cable car ride to minimize our waiting in line time. We avoided the longest lines and biggest crowds all morning, as he suggested what attractions and viewpoints to see in the most efficient order. He also helped us decide how much warn clothing to carry up the mountain, and where to get the best photos. He had water and sunscreen if we needed them and reminded us that sunglasses should be worn.
We had plenty of free time in Chamonix after seeing Aiguille du Midi and Mer de Glace. The day was amazing, and it was a pleasure having Thomas as our guide. He had great stories and seemed to love his job. We would request him again if/when we go back!
Some notes - check the weather before you go, and the attraction maintenance closure schedules.
You need your passport.
To maximize our sightseeing time, we did not select a restaurant-style lunch in our tour
There are tons of food service options in town and on the mountain, both sit-down style and take-away.
You need your ticket at several points for the attractions, so keep it handy.
There are clean (free) public toilets:
Chamonix – In town
Aiguille du Midi – At the base of the cable car and the top
Montenvers Mer de Glace – At the end of the train ride (but not after or at the glacier)

A 5 -star journey - David organized a five-star traveling for my trip. He is very well-known about Chamonix and Mont-Blanc. Please listen to his advice if you had a chance to travel with him. At least you can avoid having high altitude sickness.
Once again, thank you, David.

Very highly recommended tour!! - Babis was our tour guide and he was wonderful! He picked us up promptly on time from our hotel and was an excellent resource of information on our drive. Babis had the whole day mapped out for us but allowed us to tailor it to our preference. He wanted to make sure we were able to see and do everything we wanted and spend enough time doing it. Babis had our tickets ready for us and made the whole day very easy for us to navigate. We had a great and would highly recommended this tour and Babis as your guide! He deserves a raise! He went above and beyond for us and we are very grateful!

A day in Chamonix - Normands was an amazing guide and helped bring life to Chamonix. The tour was well organized. We didn’t do the train because we wanted more time in Chamonix. It was a great experience!
