“Gabor led us on a wonderful excursion out of Geneva for the day to Gruyere where we learned all about Swiss cheese and chocolate making. We got to sample both & ate fondue at a wonderful restaurant in the old town of Gruyere overlooking the mountains & the beautiful green valley between. Unexpectedly, the highlight of the trip for me was the tour through the castle with ramparts, furnishings & paintings which allowed me to imagine what life must have been like there in past times. Through it all, Gabor was an excellent guide - highly recommend.”

Geneva eTukTuk ride through Satigny, Bourdigny, and Peissy, with complimentary wine and nibbles at a rural winery in 3 hours.

“We were disappointed in the trip. Kind of expected a guide that took us down the vineyards, telling us about all the wines the grow, do some tastings meanwhile. Instead it was a taxi trip to a winery and we had some wines to taste at the winery. Not worth the money. The lady at the winery was nice though!”

“Met by our guide at the exact time and location and he was very nice and friendly and informative, took us round to three different chocolate shops/ makers and we were given several different samples of each one, all of which were very nice. We were given a history of the manufacturer and it was also very interesting. The taxi bike ride was fun and the driver also took to some places of interest which was nice. Not the cheapest experience ( nothing is in Geneva) but it made my wife happy on her birthday so it’s all good.”
