★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 134 reviews · 10 hours · from $297

Taste Swiss chocolate and fondue, visit medieval Gruyères, and ride the GoldenPass train on a full-day trip from Geneva.

“This was one of my favorite things I did on my vacation. The chocolate factory is a lot of fun, the cheese tasting and fondue is at a really cool area, and the train ride was nice, too. The only thing which would have been better would be if we had had time to play on some of the amusement-park-like attractions which were set up neighboring the cheese area. There were things I hadn't seen anywhere else before! Also, it's worth noting that the gold and regular tours are on the same bus, but the regular tour people are dropped off in Gruyere instead of accompanying the group to the…”

4.Gruyères Trip With Cheese and Chocolate Factory Visit from Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 125 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $205

Review of the Gruyères day trip from Geneva, with Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, medieval sights, transport tips, costs, and drawbacks.

“The first thing is when you arrive at bus terminal go across the street at the Swiss tour office and wait for guide. Better than standing outside avoiding buses. Our guide Roger was very nice and accommodating but his voice was very hard to make out while he was driving and speaking thru microphone describing scenery 0n our excursion. We had another guide with him who never said a word. I thought he might be training. Our first stop was to the chocolate factory. It was very interesting and extremely tasting. You will have a chance to buy the goods after tour and boy did we load up on that…”

5.The Private Tuk Tuk Tour with one of The Best Fondues in Geneva!

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 99 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $195

Geneva fondue by private eTukTuk combines Old Town sights, lake views, wine, and Swiss cheese in a lively 90-minute tour.

“This tour was truly a disappointment. We spent over $800 to transport our family from Zurich and back for a chance to see even some of the highlights of Geneva. Instead, we saw the Jet d’Eau fountain from afar (could not even stop for photos), the longest bench in the world and a park. The ride was also very bumpy; therefore, uncomfortable for my aging parents. We asked if we can at least see the UN but was told that we won’t have time as it’s on the other side of the lake. The tuktuk driver was a student so evidently not an experienced tour guide. He did not have…”

6.Gruyère Cheese and Chocolate Tasting Day Trip from Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 99 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $325Top rated

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.”

9.Gruyères, Cheese and Chocolate: Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 23 reviews · 9 hours · from $730

Review of a private Gruyères tour with Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, medieval sights, and a seasonal GoldenPass train ride.

“Horrible value for what you pay for and a few misleading advertisements. Our tour guide, Babis, was great and made us comfortable while he took us around. But the tour falls short on a few promises. First, their advertisement says that you will reach the top of Moleson mountain and have a tasting in a typical Swiss chalet. Well no. Instead the cheese factory is located in the village below Gruyères and the lunch is in the restaurant after the tour. Now don’t get me wrong, I highly recommend both, but visions of a Swiss chalet high in the mountain as they want you to think…this ain’t it. Second. We…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Review of a private Geneva to Gruyeres day trip with Cailler chocolate, Gruyere cheese, castle time, pricing, and practical tips.

“our driver Prosper was personable and lots of fun. Loved the town of Gruyere and the castle. The cheese factory itself was a little cheesy and really didn't get to see much other than a walk thru but no one was working. The cheese shop/gift shop was great though as were the tasters. The chocolate tour left a lot to be desired. It was a Nestle company which is not the best chocolate in Switzerland. Thought this was going to be a small intimate chocolate factory where we would really see how chocolate is made and how candy was made. Aside from that the Nestle company has created a beautiful…”
