“We loved this excursion! The sites were beautiful and we had just enough time at each location. Chaplin’s World was fantastic and a must see! Montreux was stunning and Chillon Castle was unique and interesting. Normunds was an amazing guide who was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging! He provided us with so much information about the local culture and the everyday lives of those who live here.
