Castles, cheese, and chocolate

Published on May, 2024

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable during our trip to Gruyère. The Cheese and Chocolate factory were exceptional to learn about and walk through. Everything is taken care of for you so you don’t have to worry about planning. The views were stunning from the castle grounds. Would recommend and do again in the future.

The chocolate tour was the best part of our tour. The Mountain View’s were beautiful. We really enjoyed the castle tour.

Must do!

Published on Mar, 2024

Local flavors, beautiful area, great scenery and history. Tour company is marvelous, helpful, adds true local knowledge and isn't some large non local firm. Thank you Mike!

Great trip!
