    Per the description of the trip and itinerary (photos attached), we were expecting to visit the Mer de Glace and Aiguille du Midi. On arrival at Chamonix we were advised that the cable cars don’t operate this time of year and no access is available to either - at no point was this communicated before/after my booking. Tried to contact the company to arrange a partial refund but they were not interested, although they have now amended the description of the tour per my complaint. If you do this trip yourself with Flixbus it would cost no more than £30.

    Although the weather wasn’t sunny, the cable cars were closed, our guide was very nice and we went up to mer de glace by train. Which was magical nonetheless. It was snowing and very cold. After returning to town Chamonix, the guide did a quick show of the main spots, food tips, and let us do and go wherever wanted. Indeed a very well, easy and enjoyable experience.

    We had an amazing time on this trip to Chamonix but be aware this price is just for the transport and the train cost an additional £50 each. We went in December and the cable card was not in operation due to maintenance that happens for a few months of the year as well so be aware it might not be open and if it is will again cost extra. The mountain train was highly worth it though and the town of Chamonix is also very nice and much cheaper than Geneva.
