We had a great time. The tour was prompt starting and the driver was great. We went to the chocolate factory first and found out about the history of Cailler chocolate - it was a great interactive museum experience, but the best bit was tasting the chocolates at the end! Then we went on to the town of Gruyeres which we loved. We had a tour of the cheese making and saw how the cheese is made and had a tasting of three types of gruyeres cheese - all yummy. Then our driver took us to the town which was very picturesque, and we had fondue of course in one of the many restaurants there. It took about an hour to get there from Lausanne. Nice to be out in the countryside and see the mountains and lake it is stunning scenery. Great trip highly recommended. Thank you.

Nice experience. Lots of free tasting of chocolates. Last about 30 minutes. Worth the money and time. Area is gorgeous. Would go again.

Great tour! Driver was professional and knowledgeable. Van totally full but comfortable. Maison Cailler chocolaterie a great, tasty and fun experience. Gruyères cheese factory had already shut down operations for the day, and their audio tour a bit weak. But the town of Gruyères a must-see, plenty of restaurants and reasonable prices. Quick 45-50 minute drive from Lausanne.

Roger was our guide. He was great. He was helpful and patient. Explained everything well. Safe driver. The trip and sights were amazing. Plenty of time to see everything although it wasn’t easy to see castle and eat lunch. Restaurant des Remparts in Gruyère was out of this world.
