unavoidable

one of the most beautiful castles I know in a magnificent and very well organized location. You can get there by boat, train, car, bicycle or on foot.

Wonderful trip

Wonderful trip! The scenery is breathtaking and our guide ‘Roger’ was very knowledgeable and courteous. Taking in Chaplin World which gives you an insight into his family life! Chillon Castle and its surrounding area is just beautiful. Finished off with a couple of hours in Montreux the Swiss Riviera! Visited Mountain Studios where Queen wrote and recorded hit songs and of course a photo beside Freddie Mercury’s statue is a must!

A real treat!

Chateau de Chillon - amazing! Due to being able to access all the small rooms. Chaplains house - amazing! Learned so much about him and his large family.

A Trip to Repeat!

After this day trip you will feel like you need to go back and revisit everything during several days! The agenda is compressed for you to see all the most beautiful spots (I am not even mentioning the picture, you will have with Freddie) :) We were the most lucky with the driver - Evan - who took us on secondary routes to get more spectacle, was funny and told many stories. Worth the money!

Disgusting treatment

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Arrived at hotel after a long journey to be told there were no rooms? We booked online weeks before and I called a few days ago to check If we could arrive earlier than planned. They tried to blame the booking company and refused refund initially. Disgusting treatment of paying customers. Thankfully a lovely lady close by saved us and had a room! Also mentioned this happened frequently and they ditch people staying just 1 night to accommodate others staying longer.
