Amazing and memorable tour to Gruyères - This was an incredible tour experience. I would highly recommend this. I love the fact that is a small group and you get more personal attention. Mike our guide was super. He was extremely informative, well organized and such a warm person concerned about everyone’s need. The cheese and chocolate factory tours were informative and amazing to witness what is involved in the production of both cheese and chocolate. In addition the samples given were the icing on the cake. The medieval town of Gruyères was also exciting with the visit to the castle. Highly recommend your!!!

day out of Interlaken - if you want to get out of Interlaken and see something typical Swiss - just do it! We had a great time in the French part with the cheese factory and the chocolate factory, which was pre-organized by our tourguide. Transfers were smooth and you get samples to try on both sites.

fantastic day - We like to have some time for ourselves on a tour - that was fantastic. Tour guide was the driver too and did it great. We got an itinerary, we got suggestions from the guide and everything went perfect. Always had VIP-location on drop-off/pick-up and it was well organized. Tour guide was the storyteller while heading to the next stop. Would do it again!

Around Interlaken - Interlaken is a crowded tourist town. For a much better experience, jump on buses and go round the two lakes which give the place its name. Don't miss Thun and its castle - great town and the castle is wonderful, great exhibition.
