As a mother and daughter traveling solo to Switzerland, we so appreciated our private tour with Normands, who gave us an intellectual and entertaining appraisal of Swiss culture, as well as many interesting points of fact regarding Gruyère. We were treated like near-royalty at every stop, and so enjoyed not having to “think on our feet,” but only to sit back and enjoy the journey. Note: you will Not be hungry after this trip!

David was fantastic! He even came and did our tour on his day off when it was his country’s national holiday. The chocolate museum and cheese factory were so fun (and delicious!!) for us and the kids. And then he dropped us off in the charming Gruyère village where he recommended the best place to get the best fondue for lunch! So thankful for his kindness and direction and for the very delightful day in Gruyere!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour. We chose the option with the train and driver. It was the perfect amount of guidance and allowed us time to enjoy the stops on our own. David was a great guide!
