“Buenas Tarde: Incumplimiento de servicios contratados. Lo vivido dista mucho de lo publicitado y contratado, incurriendo en un claro incumplimiento de contrato. No existe ningún guía, ni el tren tarda 1H 30min, pagas por el transporte a Jungfrau + ticket de teleférico + tren. Perfectamente por tú cuenta sale mucho mucho más barato.Il n'y a pas de guide et le trajet en train ne dure pas 1h30 ; vous payez le transport jusqu'à la Jungfrau, le billet de téléphérique et le train. C'est beaucoup plus économique de le faire soi-même. Bonjour : Non-respect du contrat de prestation de services. Ce que nous avons vécu était très loin de ce qui…”

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…”
