Our guide Roger was fantastic and provided lots of information about the area, including some personal stories. It would have been nice to have a little more information about the pickup location, so that we knew we were in the right spot. For example, note that pickup was at the Aquatis Aquarium or the name of the metro stop, instead of just providing an address.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience and that Roger made the tour enjoyable with his knowledge and personal insights. We will be happy to share your kind words with him. Thank you again for your valuable comments and for choosing Keytours. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, The Keytours Team
The Gruyère cheese and chocolate factory tour was a wonderful experience with beautiful scenery and delicious local products. The tour was well organised and very interesting. However, it was quite expensive, so travellers should budget accordingly. Overall, it is worth visiting if you want to experience some of Switzerland’s famous cheese and chocolate traditions.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Gruyère cheese and chocolate experience, as well as the beautiful Swiss scenery along the way. We appreciate your comments about the value of the tour.

Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to welcome you on another Swiss adventure soon!
We caught the van in Lausanne, it was an easy pickup at one of the metro stops. First stop was an hour at the chocolate factory which was really informative and delicious too. Then we spent an hour at the gruyere cheese plant and it was equally fun. It was going to be a 2-hour ride back to Lausanne from there, but one option was to take a scenic train for an hour and then back on the tram for the remaining hour, which we did. We highly recommend it. $15 per person, but worth it.
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, Darin! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day from the easy pickup in Lausanne to the chocolate and cheese experiences in Gruyères. It’s great that you also chose the scenic train option on the way back — it’s a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful Swiss landscapes. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are happy you found the experience worthwhile. We hope to welcome you again soon on another memorable tour with KeyTours! 🇨🇭✨
Aristotle the driver/guide was very good, but the experience was soured by learning only after boarding the bus (too late!) that the trip included an option — for an extra price — to be dropped off at Montbovon, take the Golden Pass Express to Montreux and then get back on the bus to return to Montreux. Result: instead of returning direct to Lausanne from Gruyeres the vast majority of us on the bus took an unexpected and lengthy detour to accommodate the view who disembarked for the Golden Pass. The Golden Pass had been advertised as a different trip. I suspect in fact Swiss Tours at the last minute combined it with the Broc-Gruyère trip because so few signed up for it. Had I known in advance about the detour, I would not have signed up for the trip. Boo hiss on Swiss Tours.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed Aristotle as your driver/guide. Regarding the Golden Pass option, we do indeed offer both options on Viator, but we’re sorry if this was not clear before boarding. Unfortunately, we do not have control over how individual guests interpret the trip description. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the detour and appreciate your comments, which help us improve the clarity of our tour information for future guests. Kind regards
We had a ‘silver’ ticket which included the same chocolate factory experience (it was excellent) and the museum and tasting sample at the cheese factory (not lunch). We had a longer time in Gruyere village which was useful and chose to visit the castle museum; I think gold ticket holders had a shorter time in the village. Roger was an excellent guide and his driver was also very proficient - comfortable travelling all day. I particularly enjoyed the St Bernard stories and info about the vineyards. We didn’t join the train journey and travelled back to Montreux on the bus although there is an option to buy tickets as extra on the train if you want. Overall, as a family of which includes young adult children, we enjoyed our day and would recommend highly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on your experience with Keytours! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable day exploring the region with us. Roger will be thrilled to hear your kind words about his guiding and storytelling – we’re lucky to have him on our team. And we're glad the comfortable journey made your day even more enjoyable.Thank you again for recommending us. We hope to welcome you and your family back on another adventure in the future! Warm regards, The Keytours Team
We had a great day. Cheese factory was a bit “cheesy”, but the chocolate factory tour was exceptional and we loved our time in Gruyère. Thank you!

The drive on Lake Geneva was very picturesque, as was the village of Gruyère. Switzerland is famous for cheese and chocolate, so you have got your money's worth. The cheese factory was unfortunately more of a mass handling, I would have expected that you could try several cheeses, but you only got a wrapped piece in your hand, the chocolate factory "Cailler" was a true experience, very fairytale designed and you could try many different chocolates, so you almost burst. 40 people on the bus I found quite a lot, expected half. But I understand it has to pay off. It was my first trip with TripAdvisor.
Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre expérience détaillée. Nous sommes ravis que le trajet autour du lac Léman et la visite du village de Gruyère vous aient plu, ainsi que la découverte de la chocolaterie Cailler qui est effectivement un moment magique pour beaucoup de nos visiteurs. Nous espérons néanmoins que cette première expérience avec TripAdvisor vous aura donné envie de découvrir d’autres voyages avec nous. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !
We loved it! Maison Cailler and the cheese factory are super interesting, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the chocolate tasting 😋 (my fav part) Also, Gruyères is a beautiful medieval City! The guide was really kind and taught us a lot of information about Switzerland ❤️
Dear guest, We are delighted that you enjoyed the excursion and we thank you for your positive review and for these kind words for our guide! Indeed, this excursion is ideal for food lovers. We hope to see you again for another adventure with us!
