“Loved it, no shortage of chocolate or cheese! Excellent value for money. No other snacks needed along the way. Recommend doing the golden panoramic train very lovely views. Safe to leave items like coats on the bus. Not over booked so a good size group. Early start meaning almost guaranteed no line on arrival at both planned events, except when you look behind you 5 mins later! All the tours leave from the Geneva central bus station sp find that and then your operator, 2 mins walk from the main train / tram station. Long day but restaurants of all types within 200m on return with reasonable value. Our guide…”

“David, our tour guide was fantastic! He made this trip special. The chocolate museum was cheesy and I would have been happy to skip. As a chocolate lover, tastings were nice but too much. The cheese factory was ideal. The tour was brief and the samples were of some of the best cheese I have had. It was a cloudy day, but the trail ride was still beautiful.”
