Overall rating

4.4 / 5

based on 288 reviews

Cute little loop around the Geneva side of the lake with plenty of space for everyone. Lots of indoor seating with plenty of windows if you don’t like it breezy. Easy to move around from side to side for different views. You do get close to the fountain as well. My trip was about 50 mins so not sure why other reviews are saying it was shorter.

Thoroughly recommend this one day activity with stunning & beautiful views. Travelled with a 7 year old, not too difficult or challenging with the walks or the climb, well paced.

The chocolate and cheese tours were interesting for all ages. The Gruyère town was a pleasant stop for lunch

Highly recommend this tour. Perfect amount of history and chocolate tasting. We had a brilliant guide Didi.

Trip was very well organized and OUR GUIDE ROGER WAS AMAZING!!!
