Chocolate and cheese delight

The first thing is when you arrive at bus terminal go across the street at the Swiss tour office and wait for guide. Better than standing outside avoiding buses. Our guide Roger was very nice and accommodating but his voice was very hard to make out while he was driving and speaking thru microphone describing scenery 0n our excursion. We had another guide with him who never said a word. I thought he might be training. Our first stop was to the chocolate factory. It was very interesting and extremely tasting. You will have a chance to buy the goods after tour and boy did we load up on that delicious chocolate. The next stop was to the cheese factory. It was shorter but interesting. Loaded up on cheese to take home. The older the cheese the saltier it becomes. We then spent time in a town village. It was great. We were there for 2 hours. Wish it was 4 because so much to see and do and we ran out of time. There is an alien museum and bar and we had no time to visit after spending our time in the castle. My advice is lengthen tour to accommodate. There were great places to eat but no time. You either ate or toured. No time for both. The scenery from Geneva to Gruyère was awesome.
A very nice trip to have

Both places, the chocolate factory and the cheese factory are very nice. Gruyere is magical!! Great place, nice restaurants and the castle is phenomenal!! A must visit. There is some fees entrance but worth paying. Few tips before you book the tour: initially they mention they will pick you up from the hotel and 24 hours before the trip they send you a message and ask to meet them at the bus station. So be careful and always read their messages. The guide was nice and very friendly. However expect to be alone in all the activities. He was always on time and the schedule moved very smoothly.
Great tour of Gruyeres

Normunds was an excellent guide, informative and funny. Made some extra stops for sunset pictures and wine shopping. The chocolate and wine factories were great. Wish we had more time in Gruyeres to see the castle and walk around, all our time was taken up by lunch... but the tour was well organized and a good size, maybe 12 people in a small van. Thanks!
Wonderful experience!

I wanted to provide you feedback regarding the tour today. Everything was excellent. Normounds was knowledgeable and friendly. The schedule was clearly communicated and ran on time. All three activities were entertaining and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and book a future trip with Viator. Thank you!
Make it a touch longer and it would be perfect

Great trip, maybe a little more time would have been better as some people on my tour said they felt they had to explore Gruyeres and the castle in a rush after lunch, and personally i felt i had to choose myself, skipping the castle but otherwise thoroughly enjoyable and the driver Babis? was funny and knowledgeable
