Chamonix is a must-see destination! The tour guide was very helpful and he explained everything when we arrived. The meeting point was easy to get to, the location and direct address are provided in the ticket/booking details. A highly recommended day-trip if you’re planning to spend your weekend in Switzerland.

Thoroughly recommend this one day activity with stunning & beautiful views. Travelled with a 7 year old, not too difficult or challenging with the walks or the climb, well paced.

The tour guide Anna was really nice and cheerful. She was more than happy to explain everything and she showed great knowledge of the city and chocolate history.

The chocolate and cheese tours were interesting for all ages. The Gruyère town was a pleasant stop for lunch

Highly recommend this tour. Perfect amount of history and chocolate tasting. We had a brilliant guide Didi.
