The bus trip out to Gruyeres was in fact a lovely trip with a charming guide and driver however it is quite pricey for the experience which includes two visits to two small perhaps private museums
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip to Gruyères and appreciated the guide and driver. We understand your concern about the price but keep in mind, though, that Switzerland is quite expensive and Gruyères is about a 2 hour 20 minute drive, which affects the tour price. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards
What an amazing day. The driver/guide was so much fun, the stops were amazing, so much cheese and chocolate! I loved the entire experience.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing day and enjoyed the guide, the stops, and of course the cheese and chocolate. We're very happy you loved the entire experience, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Kind regards
The chocolate and cheese factory tours were fine—both were relatively short and felt more like opportunities to shop in their gift stores than full experiences. I would have preferred to spend more time exploring the town of Gruyères itself or to get out or the van in Montreax. Overall, it’s a long day of driving for just the factory visits.
Dear Susan, Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of your recent tour. Our tours are designed to offer a balanced itinerary that meets the expectations of most travelers. While we understand that each guest may have different preferences, we must adhere to a group schedule with specific timings and routes to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. Please note that we also offer private tours, which provide complete flexibility, allowing the guide to tailor the itinerary to your personal interests within the allotted time of the excursion. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future, perhaps on a private tour, for a more customized experience.
Well worth with the money. The guide was great. Gruyère was very scenic. The tour of the production was interesting. The tour of Cailler was better. Lots of chocolate !
Dear Craig, Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad to hear that you found the tour well worth it and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Gruyère. The visits to the cheese factory and Cailler chocolate are always highlights — and we agree, there’s never too much chocolate! 🍫 We’re delighted that your guide helped make the experience memorable and hope to welcome you on another Keytours adventure soon. Warm regards, The Keytours Team
The cheese stop was not up to my standards. The little cheese sampler packet was not what we expected. The castle entrance fee should have been part of the package with more time to visit there.
Dear Steven, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d like to clarify that the castle entrance fee was never included in the tour package, so we are unable to make changes regarding that. As for the cheese stop, Gruyère cheese is famous worldwide and an essential part of the Swiss culinary experience. The sampler is designed to give guests a taste of this renowned cheese, and we hope you were still able to enjoy it and the overall cultural experience of the tour. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoyed the other highlights of your day in Gruyères. Warm regards, The Keytours Team
I only gave 1 star because I had too. DO NOT book the gold package with the fondue. The restaurant sits you with strangers and you are expected to share the fondue with them. In my case the other people double dipped which is extremely unsanitary and as a result we did not get any of the fondue we paid for and the company refused to refund the portion of the tour even though we did not get. They is a serious health concern, unsanitary and gross. PLEASE AVOID IT.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the fondue experience was not what you expected. We’d like to clarify that in the Gold Package, the fondue is served as a shared plate as swiss tradition as this tour is for you to know more about swiss culture— this is clearly stated in the tour description. Groups are formed from the start to provide guests with a traditional Swiss cultural and culinary experience. If guests are uncomfortable with sharing, they are welcome to order something else from the menu, but a refund is not possible for choosing not to participate in this part. We also encourage guests to consider the entire tour experience when leaving a review, as it includes not only the fondue but also other cultural, scenic, and culinary highlights. We appreciate your understanding and hope you were still able to enjoy other parts of the tour. Warm regards, The Keytours Team
This tour to Gruyères was truly a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about the history and the fascinating process of making Swiss chocolate and Gruyère cheese, which made the visit both educational and delicious. The medieval village of Gruyères looked absolutely magical, like stepping into a fairytale, and it was very easy to walk around and enjoy. From the castle and cobblestone streets to the charming houses, every corner offered a picture-perfect view. The surrounding plains and farms were breathtaking, adding to the charm of the trip. The only small difficulty I had was with the meeting point at the airport. The coordinates given in the reservation led me to the runway, which was confusing and not logical. I spent some time lost trying to figure it out. I suggest that clearer instructions be added, such as specifying the terminal number and the exact meeting gate, so that future travelers can find it more easily. Overall, this was a memorable and highly enjoyable tour. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Switzerland.
Dear Madam, Thank you so much for our detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour to Gruyères, learning about Swiss chocolate and Gruyère cheese, and exploring the magical medieval village. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in Switzerland soon. Kind regards
We had a great time at the chocolate factory tour, cheese factory tour, and the Gruyère medieval village. It’s a full day but did not feel rushed. We had 2 hrs 45 min of free time to explore the village, which was long enough to sit down for a fondue lunch and explore the castle (we bought tickets to go inside, or you can walk the perimeter for free). It is possible to do this trip on your own using trains and buses, but it was worth it to us to do this tour to have the logistics handled for us.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the chocolate and cheese factories, as well as Gruyère medieval village. It’s great that the day felt well-paced and that the free time allowed for a fondue lunch and castle visit. We’re also glad that having the logistics handled made your day easier and more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Kind regards
This tour was the highlight of our Switzerland trip! It started off with our excellent tour guide Telis picking us up at the hotel which was super convenient then it was smoothe sailing from there. From the breathtaking scenery to his great knowledge of the country along with his great vibes and music selection, the trip was just fun and fantastic! The factories were very informative and interactive and Telis also gave helpful suggestions on how to transport the chocolate to avoid it melting; lunch at the cheese factory was a delight, having tried cheese fondue for the very first time. This trip was definitely worth it and I would recommend this with the scenic train ride through the mountains.
We’re delighted to hear you had such a memorable day! Mont Blanc is truly breathtaking, and we’re glad you had plenty of time to take it all in. It’s wonderful that the glacier train and exploring inside the ice cave exceeded your expectations. Anton will be so pleased to know his tips and guidance made your experience even richer. Thank you for recommending us!
Excellent tour, definitely got our money’s worth and would recommend. Our guide was great and we had a great experience of Gruyères.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience in Gruyères and felt it was worth every penny. We'll be sure to pass your compliments along to your guide. We’d love to welcome you again on another tour!
