“Die Rundfahrt war sehr schön und kurzweilig. Bei der Buchung wäre es sinnvoll anzugeben, dass wenn man Vergünstigungspakete hat (z.B. Swisspass, Hotelbuchungen oder Halbtax) dass dies besser direkt gebucht wird, da man dann diese Vergünstigungen berücksichtigt werden.”

Bus from Lausanne to Glacier 3000 Peak Walk and Diablerets chalets, then free time in Montreux with Lake Geneva views.
“Our guide, Thomas was an excellent driver and gave us specific and helpful directions so we could fully enjoy our time at Mt. Pillon. The place is wonderful with its suspension bridge, expansive views and walking areas.”
Walk Lavaux UNESCO terraces with Marc, taste local wines and charcuterie, and enjoy Lac Léman vineyard views from Lutry.
“This walk was much different than other vineyard tours and events that we've experienced before. Marc's knowledge was impressive, and the small, intimate settings of the various domains was so different than the larger operations we've seen previously. He knew all the locals and lived and worked with and in the midst of them. Although we had some rain during our walk, the scenery was spectacular, his manner professional and courteous, and the experience memorable.”
Lausanne to Gruyères day trip with Cailler chocolate tasting, Gruyère fondue, medieval village time, and a GoldenPass panoramic train ride.
“This was a wonderful tour! The van picked us up right at the metro station, and the transportation was easy all day! Our tour guide Zed was kind and informative! Entry into each stop was quick!”
A full Swiss Riviera day from Lausanne: Chaplin’s World, UNESCO Lavaux vineyards, Vevey, optional Belle Epoque steamer, Chillon Castle, and Montreux.
“The venues visited were excellent. The time at Chaplin’s World was perfect, could have used a bit more time at Chillon so would recommend additional time. The stopover in the wine country was a bonus. Montreux was a nice stopover as well. Lausanne was a good starting point for our day but would have enjoyed getting an earlier start which may have given us more time at each venue. I'm not sure if we would have done the trip starting from Geneva. That was a long stretch. We opted for the ferry from Vivay to the castle. Was a little dissapointed we didn't get to ride the old riverboat and…”

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. Chris was engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city’s food culture and history. The pace was relaxed, the portions generous, and the setting — winding through Lausanne’s charming streets and markets — made it all the more memorable. By the end, we felt like we’d truly experienced the…”
