A Great Day - Who Knew about Queen and Charlie Chaplin have a link to Switzerland. You'll find out all about it on this trip. David was an excellent host giving us lots of info and time to view things in our own time. The boat trip was well worth the extra but the Gold level seemed like a waste as you could freely wander around the boat.

Roger was great! Very... - Roger was great! Very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. He stopped on the roadside by some vineyards for a little picnic with local wine, cheese and crackers and great spot for beautiful pictures. Chaplin’s World was also nice to see. Amazing property with spectacular views. The Chillon Castle was awesome. I love castles so I do wish I had more time as one hour felt rushed. And we finished in Montreux - such a nice little town. Got to see the Freddie Mercury statue and tour Queen’s studio. The landscape walking along the water with views of the mountains is beautiful. Highly recommend!

An entertaining and interesting trip to go for a weekend break - It was an amazing trip to Chaplin's place, studio Vevey, Chillon châteaux and Montreux. Me and my daughter enjoyed every place we visited in spite of rainy weather consisting of heavy showers. Our guide Normunds was very funny. He entertained us through all the trip with his stories about the places we visited. The trip itself was a highlight of our weekend break. We really loved it. It worth spending every penny.

Excellent adventure - Weather was cool with slight humidity. The place was easy to find and our tour guide David was right on time. We had a minibus with a group of 7. David was very informative with points of interest and history along the route. He answered our questions readily. Our first stop was Chaplin house and it was magnificent -- we wish we had more time to spend there. The next stop was a boat ride which was peaceful and full of great scenery. We then visited the Chillon Castle and what an experience in history that was. The next stop was Montreux and a walk along the lake. Freddy mercury statue, Queen Experience inside the Casino and a nice on your own lunch. The final stop was at a vineyard high up above the city where we were tested to the region's wine and snacks. This is an excellent tour and we highly recommend it.

Fun & interesting Montreux - Our guide, forgot his name, middle aged from Latvia, was very interesting, informative, helpful, and made this fun and interesting excursion so much better. Chaplin museum was quite impressive too. Better than expected. I highly recommend it.

Visiting The "C's" - Chaplain and Chillon - Driver/Guide Normunds added to this trip with his unique sense of humor. He took pride in sharing procedural information about what we could expect at each site and how to best maximize our time at each location. It was interesting to learn how each place visited contributed to Switzerland's history.

Swiss Tours Brings It Home - So first of all, this tour is by Swiss Tour Group. The best I. Geneva and we needed up using the tree major ones. Our tour guide David was incredible. For a group tour he connected with everyone personally and made the day fun and memoriable. Can’t say enough about David and the Swiss Tours. The day long trip went by quickly. Highly recommend doing the upgrade journey and including the boat trip. It’s a great way to see the shoreline. And when is began to rain, David quickly changed direction and brought our picnic onto the bus which was fun. SO make sure you booking with Swiss Tours, NOT KeyTours which was an epic fail on another one of our tours to Gruyeres. See review on Gruyeres for reasons why NOT to spend money for tours which did not deliver!
