Spectacular views & delicious food - Gabor was a very accommodating and informative tour guide. The views of the Alps were spectacular and the drive was comfortable. The restaurant he chose for lunch was in a pretty setting in Gruyere and of course delicious like the cheese tour & Cailler chocolate. A great day!

Alien coffee bar is a must see - Gabor was excellent! Must try the coffee at the alien bar. Tons of chocolate samples! Both museums and castle are not to be missed.

Cheese, chocolate & more - Gabor led us on a wonderful excursion out of Geneva for the day to Gruyere where we learned all about Swiss cheese and chocolate making. We got to sample both & ate fondue at a wonderful restaurant in the old town of Gruyere overlooking the mountains & the beautiful green valley between. Unexpectedly, the highlight of the trip for me was the tour through the castle with ramparts, furnishings & paintings which allowed me to imagine what life must have been like there in past times. Through it all, Gabor was an excellent guide - highly recommend.

Great experience if you have extra time in Geneva - Gabor was excellent and provided just enough detail. The cheese factory was awesome and so was everything about Gruyere! The Chocolate Factory visit a little disappointing but the samples were plentiful and fun! It was a lovely day and scenery stunning! Wish a bit more of the day would have been closer to the lake rather than heavily congested freeways but I realize that would extend timing. Overall a delightful way to spend the day and highly recommend.

Thank you Gabor - Gabor was a great tour guide! Communication was perfect and we were on time for everything and even got home earlier than expected which was great for us. Everything was so easy and planned out perfectly by him. The museums were great and he even made reservations for us at one of the in town restaurants while we explored the castle. It was a perfect day for us and I’d highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Geneva!

Gruyere tour (cheese, castle, and chocolate) - My son and I had planned to visit Gruyere on our own as he wanted to visit the HR Giger museum. I stumbled across this tour to Gruyère and decided to sign up. Had a great time at the cheese factory, the castle tour was well worth the visit. We were given plenty of free time to see the HR Giger museum and the bar along with having a delicious lunch of fondue. Unfortunately the chocolate factory was undergoing maintenance that day but our guide was able to take us to a second chocolatier where we could still make our own candy. All in all, a great excursion and would highly recommend to others.

No. - Minus the flat tire that delayed our trip, the experience was decent though rushed since museums closed at 4-5pm and it takes an hour plus to arrive. We were caught in traffic on the way back and missed our dinner reservations. It was nice to see the country side, but I’m not sure I would recommend to a colleague.
