5.00Gabor was an excellent tour guide on our Gruyére Cheese and Chocolate Tasting adventure from Geneva. . It was a perfect start with our hotel pick up and drop off. Gabor was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly and offered the perfect amount of commentary during the shuttle ride and at each location. His 6 passenger van was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The day was fun, informative and extremely tasty. Gabor’s recommended the fondue lunch at Le Saint Georges Hotel & Restaurant and it was absolutely delicious with gorgeous views. The chocolate tour at Maison Cailler was a paradise for chocolate lovers and filled with interesting history, as it is the oldest chocolate brand in Switzerland. We were thrilled with our experience with Gabor and highly recommend joining him on this tour.
Sweet Day Trip!

5.00Gabor has created a really nice experience with this tour. It is put together very well and went very smoothly. He knows what to expect and really went the extra mile for us. We not only enjoyed the places but even the ride to and from. Perhaps a little more time in the town would have been nice, but there are only so many hours in the day and we had chocolate waiting! Honest, knowledgeable, interesting, safe. If we ever make our way back to Geneva we would absolutely try to book another tour with Gabor. I love supporting the business of someone who really cares about his customers!
Great tour!
