What people are saying about Canton of Fribourg

The tour was amazing. Our driver was very nice and helpful. Both the chocolate and cheese factories' tours are audio guided. The drive from Geneva to Gruyere was lovely with amazing scenery. We had lunch at Gruyer after the tour and it was delightful. Highly recommended!

My daughter and I had a marvelous trip replete with spectacular views and scrumptious food. Our guide, Mariusz, was kind, thoughtful, and full of interesting facts. I can't recommend this excursion enough.
