Busy day, well worth the trip

Great day trip out of Geneva, sightseeing, people watching, the Chaplin Museum was fascinating. Aristotle provided a good selection if snacks since there is no planned meal, but if you are the hungry type you will find a way to cram some additional food in ( we were fine). It’s a lot of places crammed into a single day, just what we wanted.

Visiting Switzerland is a pleasure.

Geneva, Lausanne and Switzerland as a whole are a beautiful country. Transportation is well organized and punctual. Friendly and polite people. The places visited well maintained and clean. People living in Switzerland are privileged. A country definitely worth visiting.

Montreux Chaplin and Chillon trip

Great trip! Roger was a wonderful guide! I highly recommend this experience. The mini bus was very comfortable and I enjoyed all of the stops.

A great day trip

This tour was wonderful. Our driver/tour guide Roger was great. Explained what we would be seeing and took care to drop off in good spots. The Chaplin world was unexpectedly amazing. The Chateau de Chillon had a lot of stairs. And Montreux was as expected. We had a lovely wine tasting along side a vineyard. This tour was totally worth the money

Nice trip

Nice trip. Norman was a great guide and made sure everyone was happy, very knowledgeable and full of information I advise double checking your meeting location. What we have found is the tour company and Viatar have different meeting locations. Watch emails for communication.
