Great day trip out to a beautiful region - fields, mountains, the lake. The Gruyère and Callier factories are interesting (both with samples) and the medieval town is cute - with incredible views. Gabor was a great host & guide, the ride was comfortable. Lovely day! Highly recommend as a day trip to see outside the city.

This was a well organized fantastic tour that showed us the beautiful Swiss countryside and gave us experiences of seeing factories for making Gruyere cheese and Swiss chocolate. We loved seeing the castle and having the chance to enjoy some Swiss foods for lunch along with looking through the medieval town. Gabor made the day fun and made everything easy for us from pre purchased tickets and even made lunch reservations for us.

A wonderful side trip out of Geneva! The guide was fabulous; personable, knowledgeable, and he made sure we had all the information we needed to enjoy the visits.

Gabor is so patient. We had a problem with the verizon international phone app that was a real challenge. He was able to work his way through it and make our stay in Geneva amazing. It was a great experience with him!!

Small group experience really enhanced the tour. Gabor, the tour guide, was polite, pleasant and full of fascinating information. The Gruyere cheese factory was fun and the acoustic guide fun. Same for the tour of Cailler chocolate factory. Most fascinating to me was tour of Gruyère chateau which was an exceptional historic site. The camaraderie among tour goers reached a culmination when we all stopped at Hotel Saint George for delicious fondue. I wouldn’t hesitate to book any tour with Gabor.

Gabor was simply the best! He took us around all day with the kindest disposition, and was full of knowledge and information. We think he’s the best and we highly recommend him and the tour.

We enjoyed the day trip to Gruyere... Gabor was a very good guide, professional, knowledgeable and friendly and also a great driver. First we visited the cheese factory with tastings, then the castle and Gruyere and finally the Cailler chocolate factory with tastings! I highly recommend this day trip.

Gabor was an excellent tour guide on our Gruyére Cheese and Chocolate Tasting adventure from Geneva. . It was a perfect start with our hotel pick up and drop off. Gabor was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly and offered the perfect amount of commentary during the shuttle ride and at each location. His 6 passenger van was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The day was fun, informative and extremely tasty. Gabor’s recommended the fondue lunch at Le Saint Georges Hotel & Restaurant and it was absolutely delicious with gorgeous views. The chocolate tour at Maison Cailler was a paradise for chocolate lovers and filled with interesting history, as it is the oldest chocolate brand in Switzerland. We were thrilled with our experience with Gabor and highly recommend joining him on this tour.
