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,…”

Guided day trip from Lausanne to Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe. See Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Ice Palace, then Interlaken lakeside.
“Buenas Tarde: Incumplimiento de servicios contratados. Lo vivido dista mucho de lo publicitado y contratado, incurriendo en un claro incumplimiento de contrato. No existe ningún guía, ni el tren tarda 1H 30min, pagas por el transporte a Jungfrau + ticket de teleférico + tren. Perfectamente por tú cuenta sale mucho mucho más barato.Il n'y a pas de guide et le trajet en train ne dure pas 1h30 ; vous payez le transport jusqu'à la Jungfrau, le billet de téléphérique et le train. C'est beaucoup plus économique de le faire soi-même. Bonjour : Non-respect du contrat de prestation de services. Ce que nous avons vécu était très loin de ce qui…”

“Our food tour in Lausanne was absolutely phenomenal — easily one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland! From start to finish, the experience was perfectly curated, balancing delicious bites, local stories, and hidden gems that we never would’ve found on our own. Each stop offered something unique — from artisanal cheeses and freshly baked pastries to traditional Swiss chocolates. Chris was engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city’s food culture and history. The pace was relaxed, the portions generous, and the setting — winding through Lausanne’s charming streets and markets — made it all the more memorable. By the end, we felt like we’d truly experienced the…”
