Get to know the charms of Geneva and Chamonix on this guided tour of both cities. Cross the Swiss-French border and bask in the Alpine allure of Chamonix and the majestic Mont Blanc, then return to Geneva for a tour of its international culture and most iconic landmarks.

From Geneva, take a comfortable coach in the morning across the Swiss-French border to the commune of Chamonix. Set with the tremendous slopes of Mont Blanc as a backdrop, the French town was the host of the first Winter Olympics in 1924 and remains a popular sports destination. Spend leisure time perusing the town's quaint boutiques and cafes, and bask in lovely views of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps at 15,776 feet (4,808 m). You can also opt to take a cable car up to an observation deck on the mountain, from which French, Italian, and Swiss Alps are visible in one sweeping view.

In the afternoon, reenter Switzerland for an insightful tour of Geneva. Your guide leads you past buildings where international conferences are held, explaining the city's global significance along the way. Visit iconic landmarks like the Jet d'Eau fountain, which shoots water 460 feet (140 m) into the air, and the beautiful Flower Clock, a functioning floral timepiece dedicated to the city's watchmakers. Get a taste of Geneva's past at the St. Pierre Cathedral as well before getting transported back to your starting location.
