I enjoyed my expert with MBE, well organized and good directions. I was unaware of GPS and don't recall ever being advised it was available
I used the book given to us for directions
No issues with luggage transfer

When things go wrong you will find out how professional a company is. Mont Blanc Experience were very responsive in very quick time even on Whatsapp. We had luggage transfer delays but each time they tried to resolve it quickly and when they could not they refunded us for the inconvenience. We were essentially the first trekkers of the season so they needed to iron out issues. We had plenty of calls from them apologising and correcting. Apart from that everything was super excellent and I strongly recommend them.
The trip itself was incredible, the acclimatisation phase was an amazing experience and we managed to summit Mont Blanc by the end of the week! Our guide Nico was brilliant, very knowledgeable and helpful.
A few things to note - my group did not speak much English at all (including the guide) so this trip was basically all in French, luckily another client could translate some information for me. Another thing is the trip was run by Allibert Trekking, the other 5 clients had booked through them, not Mont Blanc Experience. This was very confusing. At one point the guide wasnít sure I was even part of the group as I was not on his list (this was quickly sorted)
Organisation of hotels in Chamonix was poor also, got moved hotel on day 1, then moved again on day 4, not ideal for luggage. Also paid for solo room but got given a twin with another client, again the issue was sorted after a call.
All in all an amazing experience, the guides were amazing but logistics could be better.
The mountain views, including visible glaciers and wide alpine landscapes, were impressive. The scenery and quiet surroundings made it easy to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the natural environment. Despite it being somewhat physically challenging at times, the effort only made the experience more meaningful, adding a real sense of accomplishment to reaching each viewpoint and fully taking in the surroundings.
