Taste Lausanne on a three-hour Swiss food walk with rösti, Vaud cheeses, chocolate, local stories, and a full lunch included.
“Our food tour in Lausanne was absolutely phenomenal — easily one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland! From start to finish, the experience was perfectly curated, balancing delicious bites, local stories, and hidden gems that we never would’ve found on our own. Each stop offered something unique — from artisanal cheeses and freshly baked pastries to traditional Swiss chocolates.

Walk Lavaux’s UNESCO vineyards from Lutry to Epesses with local wines, a two-course lunch, village stories, and panoramic lake views.
“A great opportunity to sample little know Swiss wines and learn about the climate and ‘valleys’ of Lavaux. If you can, get Marc for the guide. He is a great story teller, absolutely knows the people, region and wines, and has an interesting background hailing from New Zealand. A great guy and foot tour guide. Make sure you sip the 1887 Vermouth. This is a great afternoon excursion with a good lunch and plenty of wine.”

“Don’t even consider this travel / tour organizer. The bus simply never arrived, no explanation ever received. So while it is possible to get a refund, that’s beside the point: I had planned my weekend around this trip, so I wasted a whole lot of precious time. Appalling on their part.”
Review of the Lausanne to Interlaken day trip, with bus details, free time, Harder Kulm tips, costs, and who should book.
“A long bus ride but was able to make pit stops for shops, bathroom breaks and lunch. The views were stunning! Shops were amazing. They had everything from small boutiques to luxury high end stores. Plenty of restaurants. We were given enough time to tour the town on our own. Many people chose to hang glide, I did not : ). It’s a must-see when you are visiting Switzerland.”
Review of the Jungfrau and Interlaken tour from Lausanne, with mountain trains, Sphinx views, Lauterbrunnen, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“It is pretty but I did not enjoyed it at all. I don’t recommend to visit it in summer because it was crazy crazy crowded. Infinite lines and cues for everything, even taking the cable car or the train is insane. With all of that fighting for a place, it take long time and then you have a little bit in the glacier. Really I do not recommend it during summer.”
