Review of Geneva’s Gruyère cheese and chocolate day trip, with castle views, tastings, hotel pickup, pricing, timing, and practical tips.
“This was a great tour. I didn’t realize how far away it was from Geneva (1 hr 45). Our driver was late, which was no problem. However, I felt a bit rushed throughout the tour. That said, our guide/driver was attentive and thoughtful!”
Taste Geneva or Lausanne through wine, cheese, meats, chocolate, and Old Town stories on a friendly three-hour walking tour.
“Val was amazing. We ended up being the only 2 on the tour and she made us feel like family. We got to try some very interesting meats and came home with delicious wine! Would highly recommend.”
Review of Geneva’s private tuk tuk vineyard tour, with village stops, Swiss wine tasting, pricing, guides, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Carlos our guide was amazing. Full of information!! Would highly recommend this tour. Got to taste many flavors of wine from white to rose to red.”
Taste Geneva on a 3.5-hour food walk with fondue, charcuterie, hot chocolate, truffles, wine, and local city stories.
“Tour with Ben was interesting while short on food knowledge, it was long on history politics, and culture.”
Taste Geneva’s finest chocolates at three respected chocolatiers, with private TaxiBike transport, local stories, and hot chocolate included.
“Met by our guide at the exact time and location and he was very nice and friendly and informative, took us round to three different chocolate shops/ makers and we were given several different samples of each one, all of which were very nice. We were given a history of the manufacturer and it was also very interesting. The taxi bike ride was fun and the driver also took to some places of interest which was nice. Not the cheapest experience ( nothing is in Geneva) but it made my wife happy on her birthday so it’s all good.”
Review of a private Geneva to Gruyères cheese and chocolate day trip, with hotel pickup, tastings, 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…”
Review of a private Geneva trip to Lavaux vineyards, with Chasselas tasting, hotel pickup, scenic Lake Geneva views, and a private driver.
“This is one of the best tours out to the wineries and our driver Eric was over the top incredible. His knowledge, humor and personality left us wanting to book him for every private tour. Book the private tour is worth the money and created a flexibility in scheduling. Highly recommend booking this tour and hell while you’re at it request Eric if possible. Spend the money and create lasting memories. We lived in Geneva 50 years ago and this tour brought us back to so many fond memories.”
Taste Vaud wines, visit Chillon Castle, and enjoy Lake Geneva views on a small-group day tour from Geneva.
“Pros: lots of wine! Off the beaten path - We would not have been able to travel to these places without a guide. Amazing views of Lake Geneva. Friendly English speaking tour guide and hosts at each winery. Cons: A miscommunication caused use to wait an hour to be picked up. I recommend contacting the tour guide in advance to confirm pick up location and time. It’s a long day- Our tour included 2 wineries, visit to Chateau Chillion, and 1 tasting room representing multiple wineries. Each location was in different regions, so there was lots of driving.”
Cycle Geneva’s quiet paths to Satigny vineyards, taste eight local wines, and explore Vernier with a small group and Swiss e-bike.
“We had a great time riding thru Geneva and into the countryside. The wine tasting was enjoyable - both delicious and informative. Carole, our guide, was excellent and happy to stop whenever we ‘needed’ to take photos of the beautiful landscapes. Highly recommend!”
Pick a summit, a lake or a tasting room.
