Dont hesitate to book this tour - The trip was very unexpected. I booked it the day before the tour. I thought I just booked the paragliding, to my surprise it includes the cable car to Chamonix, get to the ice box, and ride the train to Montenvers. Richard, the one that helped me with the paraglide made me feel safe. I definitly recommend this tour.

WORDS DONT DO IT JUSTICE. PICTURES DONT DO IT JUSTICE. - Absolutely beautiful views. Absolutely beautiful opportunity. Pictures dont do it justice. The whole atmosphere an outstanding experience. Caroline was a great tour guide! We werent able to do paragliding due to weather ( understandable). Refunded for that portion. Lots of great people work within the community. Friendly. Kind. Willing to go the extra mile. Wish I had more time to do everything. Next time will drive there to get a longer experience. Would suggest this tour for anyone wanting to see Mont Blanc.

AMAZING Day Trip - Chamonix & Mont Blanc were wonderful, going to the very top was amazing. The views of the Alps were just incredible. The guide on the bus was very informative and funny, and then the Paragliding was just so great. We had a blast. The Paraglide guides made us feel safe and comfortable, and this trip was worth every penny.

A day in heaven - Had a wonderul time in Chamonix and the paraglideing activity will probably live rent free in my mind for the rest of my life. Chamonix is a lovely town, I would suggest skipping the train ride to the ice cave and spend more time in the town as the cave itself wasn't really special and the scenery around it wasn't as good as the views that you get from simply walking around in Chamonix. All in all it was a wonderful day trip

Paragliding experience with... - <p>Paragliding experience with Jean-Charles was phenomenal...easily 6 stars! The rest of the tour was pretty basic and the timings could have been sorted out a little better. Had too little time at the top of Aiguille du Midi and didn't have close to enough time to Step Into the Void. Yet, I had two hours of 'downtime' after the paragliding just wandering around the quaint but very touristy downtown of Chamonix waiting for the bus to show up.</p>

Amazing paragliding but problematic communication and misleading advertising - The trip started off poorly. My trip details stated that a SwissTours bus would go around to hotels for pickup between 8:00 and 8:20, but an email that got caught in my junk mail folder the night before indicated that the company doesn't do hotel pickups. Even though the trip reservation was made weeks ahead of time, the notification that the trip details were incorrect was not provided until after payment and less than 24 hours before departure. The cancellation policy states, "Any changes made less than 24 hours before the experience’s start time will not be accepted." However, the tour operator does not hold themselves to the same standard. After I went to the tour operator's office, they did arrange for transit two hours later, but everyone treated me like it was my fault for being late. They did not ask whether I could make it at the revised time and location. They did not call to confirm. When I got to Chamonix, the paragliding itself was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend. However, it is probably worth noting that you only take the cable car up halfway to the launch point for paragliding and cannot reuse the ticket. In other words, you get up to about 2200 meters and then debark; you do not go up to 3842 meters as advertised unless you want to buy another 75 Euro cable car ticket. It says in the trip description that the experience is weather-dependent, but I also noticed that some of the restaurants and shops close when it's not peak season, as well.

The worst tour operator i have ever encountered - They did not pick me up, from the agreed on location. They changed the location and pick up time, less than an hour of the original pick up time. The operator did not call me to confirm the changes, which led me to miss my trip that costs €800, and to top that, the operator refused my refund request !!!
