Discover Chaplin’s World in the morning - a site dedicated to Charlie Chaplin, the artist and the man. Enjoy an extraordinary adventure across time and through the magical world of cinema, designed by Grévin. For the next 1 hour 30 minutes, prepare to be moved by one of the most surprising artists of the 20th century through the sets of his greatest films at this Hollywood-style Studio.
This UNESCO site is unique with vineyards on terraces. Snap a picture of the land of the 3 suns in this memorable land.
Experience Chillon Castle and visit this historical landmark for about an hour. Chateau de Chillon has a beautiful location on a small island in the far western end of Lake Geneva between Montreux and Villeneuve. This romantic castle was long of strategic importance in controlling trade in the Lake Geneva region. The dungeons inspired Lord Byron's writings.
Feel the atmosphere of Montreux on a free time- a glamorous tourist resort - where you'll spend approximately 1 hour 30 minutes to savor a tasty lunch (at own expense). Feel the atmosphere of all the great artists who have visited this place such as Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, BB King, Ray Charles and many more. The emblem of the city is the statue of Freddy Mercury who once said, "If you want peace of soul, you should come to Montreux." This artist, who lived several years in Montreux recorded his last album with the group Queen, "Made in Heaven," in the Mountain Studio, which is inside the casino. You will have the chance to visit Queen’s old recording studio and time to wander through the streets full of fancy shops and landmarks of the famous jazz festival.

We had a pleasant day with Rogers and we received a lot of information about the places we visited. He is funny and profesional guy!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a pleasant day with Rogers. He's definitely a great mix of fun and professionalism, and we're glad you enjoyed the informative experience he provided. We hope to welcome you on another Keytours adventure soon!
David was a great host and very accommodating. He was flexible with the itinerary and had insight into each museum. We got to spend a bit of extra time at Chaplin’s World and at Chillon which made the visits more relaxed. Both were great to see. We did have trouble with the meeting location in Lausanne and were afraid we would miss the bus. The address given did not make sense as it wanted us to go down a hill basically through traffic. A photo of the meeting spot would have been very helpful. We deduced the correct spot but feared it was wrong.
Thank you so much for your kind words about David! We’re glad he made your tour flexible and insightful, and that you enjoyed the extra time at Chaplin’s World and Chillon Castle. Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

A very friendly and personable tour guide. He was Knowledgeable and willing to share history of the places we visited. Beautiful sights, including Chaplins world and a medieval Chateau, a visit to the town of Vevey and the beautiful Montreux. Enough time at each location to wander around and explore on our own. The beauty of Lec Lehman and the surrounding mountains is indescribable in words.

Guide (David) and driver (sorry not remembering his name), were very professional and also down to earth. Everything ran smoothly even when there were issues no one could control, like road closure. Very good communication about drop off and pick up points, as well as location of toilets, cafés, etc. Great way to see several beautiful sites in one day. I’m traveling for work so I was solo, but still had a good time with other people on the tour. If I have time, I will definitely schedule another experience this group.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that David and our driver made your day easier. Thank you and best regards
Excellent tour with very interesting guide (Ivars/Roger). The minibus was panoramic and we could appreciate the nice view on the mountains, Leman lake and every area we went.
Good morning, thank you very much for you review. We will forwad your comment to Ivars. The buses are specially designed for tours with large windows. We are happy you had a nice time with us. Best regards
All was good and Roger was full of information to share with us. His English was very good . Every body enjoyed the same level of quality and hospitality of Roger. The transport was just right for the group.

Good morning, Thank you very much for your review. We ara glad you enjoyed the tour, the views and it's timing. Have a nice holiday. Best regards
Chaplin’s World was very interesting and well done. Montreaux was a beautiful town on Lake Geneva and Chateau Chillon was a step back in time. A very enjoyable trip with our guide Evan.
Good morning, thank you very much for your review. We will pass your message to Evan, he knows all the secret spot for photos and good scenery.
