This was our first experience with GetYourGuide, plus we booked a day early and late at night. Fortunately, except for a 30min delay in the pick-up time, everything went perfectly! Our guide, the car, the tickets to the chocolate and cheese museums, and at the end a walk through the castle and the old town that surrounds it. In short, our experience was very good and we definitely recommend GetYourGuide's service.

My experience was very pleasant on this tour, my guide Vasileros from GVA Excursions was very good, after the tour to the cheese and chocolate factory he took us to the town of Gruyere to take photos and to the castle, he was also going to take us by the lake but there was bad weather.

Since we attended the Atelier Du Chocolate, a chocolate making class at the Cailler factory, the tour went on a little longer than expected. Our tour guide Ms. Adina, was most accommodating & did not mind, she went on to complete all the stops mentioned in the tour. It was a pleasure to have Adina as our tour guide !
