Mistake is busses but still a good overall excursion
Kami_F, Apr 2025
Terrible experience from Keytours (Switzerland). My friend and I bought separate experiences on accident. Upon arrival at the meeting location which was not clearly marked, I accidentally got on wrong bus (correct bus for my friend). My guide was aware but said to ride with them so I didn’t miss the excursion and once we got to Chamonix, he would speak to the other tour guide and get it all straightened out. He explained this type of thing has happened in the past and they typically work together to not leave customers behind. We drove to Chamonix which was the same place Keytours was going. Upon arrival the tour guide from the bus we drove on let the Keytours guide know that I was present and could join his group which he has no issue with however Karen at the office would not allow me to join the group. Rather they just pocketed my money abd refused to accommodate me stating I was a no show. I understand that yes I technically missed the ride up but having reunited with the group at the place the excursion was to take place where tickets for the train and lift weee to be purchased, I fail to understand why Karen REFUSED to allow any accommodation. Overall the excursion was great. I stayed with original tour guide who was awesome. Paid again for excursion and tipped. Because of this, I’d say go but definitely don’t use Keytours as your operator. Plenty of others provide a great experience.
This was fine

We were basically paying for transportation to and from Chamonix. It was fine. Staff at meeting point were a little disorganized (seems like they should know how many open seats are available on each bus?)
Day trip to Chamonix and Mt. Blanc

Comfortable bus and good itinerary. Beautiful views is an understatement. The guide was good but communication regarding times and meeting points could have been better. Overall the trip was fantastic and memorable.
