5.00Exceptional both in the explanations and in all the information received, as well as in the exceptional places we were able to enter, and in the panorama during the 2.5-hour walk. And the wonderful surprise at the end where we were able to meet Peter Freestone.
Very nice and dedicated guide, and a great experience.

5.00Amazing and unique authentic insight into the life of Freddie Mercury, a true legend. Only a handful of people can shred this experience. I have been a fan of Queen, Freddie Mercury for about 45 years and have ready many books etc. on their story. This trip and its location is perfect to get an insight to what Freddie was really like. Beautifully delivered in a relaxed and professional way. Visit to the Duck House is not included in the walk, but you can walk to it in about 20 minutes privately. The Queen Experience is not part of the tour; it is free and you should definitely allow time to visit, especially the studio room ! Highly Recommended !!

5.00This is a must do for any Queen fan, it is fantastic, full of interesting facts about the music scene in Montreux, our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about all things Freddie, all flat walking and very easy, it takes you into places that the general public cannot go, I recommend the full extended tour, absolutely worth doing and all in the beautiful surroundings of the Lake, worth every penny. Awesome, thank you for a fab experience, sadly don't remember the name of our friendly tour guide.
You must have been there for a while!

5.00We had a holiday of a few days in Montreux because of Queen fans. Therefore also visited many things and locations of Queen and Freddie’s footsteps. Of course I walked past the statue daily and sat in the sun and sunset. Nice location.
