5.00My mother and I met Christoph at the train station in the morning and headed out for our day. He guided us easily through the efficient Swiss transportation system first to Gruyere with its cheese factory and lovely town and then on to Maison Callier for a very thorough tour of the chocolate factory. All the while, Christoph provided information about the area and answered our many questions of life in Switzerland. We had good conversations, and he was very attentive and helpful with my 80-year-old mother. It was a very entertaining and educational day.
not a typical group tour

5.00we travelled by train to the cheese factory (which is nice to see). Best was the time we spend at Gruyères and our guide Roland gave us the possibility to explore it at our own. The chocolate factory was crowded but our guide had pre-booked slots and we tasted a lot of chocolate. Can recommend it, as we had a lot of free time for us and were not forced to be with the group all the time, even there were just two others with us.
we got Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate

5.00Such a delightful and delicious day! Exploring the medieval town of Gruyères felt like stepping into a fairytale. The visit to the cheese factory was fun and informative (and tasty!), and the Maison Cailler chocolate experience was the perfect sweet ending. Our guide kept everything relaxed and well-organized. A must-do if you're in Bern and want a mix of culture, history, and Swiss treats!

5.00Our tour guide was very knowledgeable during our trip to Gruyère. The Cheese and Chocolate factory were exceptional to learn about and walk through. Everything is taken care of for you so you don’t have to worry about planning. The views were stunning from the castle grounds. Would recommend and do again in the future.
The chocolate tour was...
