“This may not be for everyone...I have been to this region 5 times and on similar tours, so I know the area and history well. This particular tour had pros and cons... It was a very small group of 10-11 in a great panarama view bus. Guide was friendly and brought a nice wine and cheese picnic. There was a nice amount of time to spend at all locations and pace was laid back and relaxing. This was not a guided tour at all. The driver did not say one word about the history of locations or sites. We were totally on our own. Not really much time for lunch,…”

Lausanne to Chaplin’s World, UNESCO Lavaux vineyards, Vevey, optional steam-boat cruise, Chillon Castle, and Montreux in one Riviera day.

“Great itinerary. But not enough time at Vevey & Montreux. We arrived back in Lausanne early- the tour was supposed to be 8 hours, but it ended up at just over 7. We could have 30 min more at each place. Our group was small & very respectful of time. Our guide was aggressive and showed he did not like my questions. Ex: I asked if he spoke French. He asked why he would do that since the EU language is English. So strange, since he lives in France, and Switzerland isn’t part of the EU. I just feel that although he drove very well & had mostly accurate information,…”
