Saved to wishlist!
Your excursion begins in central Geneva, where you greet your guide at the Keytours stand and board a coach destined for Chamonix, a popular French ski resort home to the mighty Mt. Blanc, the tallest peak in Europe.
Following the journey, you have a few hours of free time to explore Cham, as it's known to locals, independently. Admire the town’s striking Alpine perimeter, shop for souvenirs in the town center, and, if you upgraded to include a ride on the Aiguille du Midi Cable Car, you are rewarded with one of the best views of the French Alps in Europe.
After reconvening with your guide, return to Geneva for a whistle-stop tour of the city’s highlights. Watch the tumultuous torrent of water spring from Lake Geneva at the Water Fountains (Jet d’Eau), explore Geneva Old Town, see the gorgeous Flower Clock, and marvel at Cathédrale de Saint-Pierre.
Your tour concludes at your original departure point.
