Mixed bag

The guide (I can't remember his name but he came from Chamonix) was absolutely excellent. A lovely guy, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Chaplin's world was terrible. So boring. The boat ride was lovely. Chillon Castle was lovely from the outside but not massively exciting from the inside. Montreux was beautiful and well worth a visit. The guide set up some snacks in a lovely vineyard spot with stunning views on the way back. Not worth the money but the guide did everything to make it as good as possible. The views beat any of the attractions. To make a better trip Keytours should ditch Chaplin's World, should only do 45 minutes at Chillon Castle and should then do longer in Montreux.

A nice menu of activities

Both the chaplain museum and the queen recording studio were fascinating tours. Getting to see the vineyards and Montreau up close was also great. The tour guide Amen was top notch in both knowledge and enthusiasm.

Great tour

Had a great time. It was just me and my husband in a small group with another 3 people. Roger is an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend this tour. We really enjoyed the Queen studio as well.

Great tour stopping at breathtaking locations

Excellent tour stopping at some beautiful spots in Switzerland and the Chaplin museum was fab! Our host/driver Bibi (I think that was his name) was brilliant, friendly, funny and very knowledgable. Thank you :)
