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 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 :)
