15 Geneva Cheese Tours Worth Flying For

1.Gruyères Tour from Geneva With Train, Chocolate and Cheese

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 258 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $305Our pick

Travel from Geneva to Broc and Gruyères by air-conditioned coach, with chocolate tasting at Maison Cailler, cheese at La Maison du Gruyère, free time in the medieval village, fondue, and a scenic GoldenPass train ride toward Montreux. Guides such as Roger, David, Babis, and Aristotle are known for adding humor and clear direction.

“Overall a very good excursion. We loved the chocolate factory tour & sampling and enjoyed the Gruyère cheese making & tasting with the lunch. The palace and surrounding village were worthwhile and the train through the mountains into Montreux was lovely as well. Our only negative was that our guide Normand made a few political references to his liking of Trump in America. For American tourists on holiday in Europe and trying to enjoy their vacation, his comments were very uncomfortable & unnecessary for many people in the group.”
