Review of Geneva’s Gruyère cheese and chocolate day trip, with castle views, tastings, hotel pickup, timing, costs, and practical tips.
“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.”

“My mother and I met Christoph at the train station in the morning and headed out for our day. He guided us easily through the efficient Swiss transportation system first to Gruyere with its cheese factory and lovely town and then on to Maison Callier for a very thorough tour of the chocolate factory. All the while, Christoph provided information about the area and answered our many questions of life in Switzerland. We had good conversations, and he was very attentive and helpful with my 80-year-old mother. It was a very entertaining and educational day.”

He took us to great scenic spots and really tailored the day to the 3 of us who happened to be on the tour that day. Highly recommend this for a fun day of touring Gruyère.”
