Gruyère cheese and Cailler chocolate in one small-group day from Geneva, with castle time, factory tastings, and comfy pickup.
“Small group experience really enhanced the tour. Gabor, the tour guide, was polite, pleasant and full of fascinating information. The Gruyere cheese factory was fun and the acoustic guide fun. Same for the tour of Cailler chocolate factory. Most fascinating to me was tour of Gruyère chateau which was an exceptional historic site. The camaraderie among tour goers reached a culmination when we all stopped at Hotel Saint George for delicious fondue. I wouldn’t hesitate to book any tour with Gabor.”

“This whole tour was spent with a delightful, knowledgeable and fun guide, Irina. My friend and I loved sampling the variety of foods, wine and oils. Our wine coniseur was extremely interesting, sharing his love for wine and the history behind it. The oil sampling came as a surprise to me because I never realized the many flavors that are possible. Meats and cheeses at the deli were a first to my palate. Thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon Irina ❤️ Please try this tour if you are in Geneva!!”

Spend a scenic day from Zurich in Entlebuch, tour Bern’s Old Town, then taste Kambly cookies and Emmental cheese with guided stops.
“This was an opportunity to view the countryside as the drive from Zurich to Bern and back took the scenic route - and scenic it was. The stop at the cookie factory was a good time for a break, and likewise on the return, the cheese factory was timed well. We took the trip on a Saturday, so as it turned out there was no opportunity to see the cookie factory in operation and limited chance to observe cheese making in progress. The city of Bern is interesting, charming, and my wish would have been to have more time in the city itself and less time on the stops in…”
