★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 258 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $305Our pick

Review of the Gruyères day trip from Geneva, with Maison Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, fondue, a medieval village, and GoldenPass views.

“We had a wonderful guide, David, who was very knowledgeable about Geneva, Switzerland and France. He explained in detail what to expect from the trip, and was very pleasant and kind to everyone. He had our tickets ready so we did not have to wait and parked us close so we did not have to walk a long way. This was a fun trip and we learned a lot about chocolate and cheese. We really enjoyed tasting all those chocolates and the fondue lunch. Definitely one trip you want to make.”

Review of the Gruyères day trip from Geneva, with Maison Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese, castle time, transport tips, and honest value advice.

“Of the six tours that we booked this one was beyond disappointing. We had a driver and tour guide, and how is it possible that there were no introductions of who are tour guide was until one hour and 55 minutes later when we got to our first destination. Getting off of the bus you could barely hear what the tour guide was telling us and then it was like a freefall, knowing that we had to be back to the bus at a certain time. The advertisement of a chocolate factory was beyond disappointing, as we have visited chocolate factories in many different countries and this just seem to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · 35 minutes (approx.) · from $21Best value

Taste up to seven Swiss cheeses in Basel, including Gruyère AOP and local favorites, in a friendly 35-minute small-group experience.

“In less than six hours of our schedule the vendor delayed the time of the event. While the time change was for an hour for the first event and a second event delayed 30 minutes it still negatively impacted later plans we had so we missed this event. While on a prior walking tour of the town we walked by the shop. The shop was closed and the shop did not look very reputable so we were very disappointed. This venue seems far below the standards of the other Viator tours we have done.”

Review of Zurich’s Lindt and Felsenegg tour, with cable-car views, Swiss fondue dinner, practical costs, timing, food, and tips.

“Monika was an excellent tour guide, driver, and helper with all things along the way. She gave us information on the bus all along our trip with fun facts about the neighborhoods in Zurich. We stopped and walked around the pier for a nice feel of Lake Zurich and its many boats. The Lindt Chocolate shop stop is just for shopping but we focused on buying only the flavors not available in the U.S. It's also worth seeing the chocolate fountain ;) The rest of the trip was so magical. We took a cable car ride up to hiking trails that take you to different towns. We walked only about…”

We have been on countless guided tours but she keeps you engaged and gives so much great information about the region while on the hike and allows for places to take great pictures. At first we thought it may be a bit expensive but by the end we both agreed it was well worth it. The fondue was the best we had on our trip in Switzerland too! Do not hesitate to book this experience!”
