The whole tour felt like we were cattle being herded along... It wasn't the greatest experience. The tour of Chateau de Gruyeres was neat, but not as good as Chillon. There were little kids screeching on the train both directions which absolutely sucked since we were in first class and moving to second wasn't an option. We went in October... More

The cheese and chocolate factory visit was very informative and the samplings at the Caillier chocolate factory was very welcome! Some of the smoothest chocolates I have ever tasted.

We had a half price Swiss card, so the price was 69CHF (approx... More

Just get on any train from Montreux to Gruyères, you'll make one easy change on the way. Walk up the hill and visit the town. The... More

We went on the trip after reading the reviews. Lovely scenery and enjoyed the cheese factory, Chocolate tasting and castle visit.

After reading several other reviews I was skeptical of this tour thinking it was going to be very structured, too much down time waiting on other tour participants etc. but we found it to be great.
