Breng wat vrije tijd door in Gruyères en wandel door het middeleeuwse dorp. Aan de voet van de Alpen zult u betoverd worden door de charme en pittoreske architectuur van deze stad, die onaangetast is gebleven door het verstrijken van de tijd. 800 jaar regionale geschiedenis en cultuur ontmoeten Oscar-winnende buitenaardse wezens en boeddhistische sculpturen. Het historische stadje Gruyères, of Greyerz in het Duits, heeft tot op de dag van vandaag zijn middeleeuwse uitstraling behouden. Op een heuvel boven de Saane ligt de residentie van de oude graaf. Het 13e-eeuwse kasteel is nu een museum over acht eeuwen regionale architectuur, geschiedenis en cultuur. In het nabijgelegen kasteel van St. Germain bevindt zich het HR Giger Museum, waar de fantastische kunst van de Oscarwinnaar en de maker van de Alien wordt tentoongesteld. Midden in de verkeersvrije stad ligt het Tibet Museum, dat in 2009 werd geopend en meer dan 300 boeddhistische sculpturen, afbeeldingen en rituele werken uit verschillende Himalaya-regio's heeft. De charme van de stad is ook indrukwekkend met zijn uitstekende gastronomie en moderne showzuivelproducten.

I booked this reservation by mistake because I believed the price was displayed in my local currency. As soon as the payment went through, I realized the error and immediately requested a cancellation through TripAdvisor while also contacting the tour operator directly. Only a few minutes had passed since the booking was made, so there was no impact whatsoever on their operations or ability to resell the reservation. Despite this, the operator refused to cancel the booking or offer any reasonable solution. I even proposed receiving only a 50% refund, but that was also rejected. In the end, I did not take the trip, yet I was charged the full amount. What disappointed me most was not the mistake itself, but the complete lack of flexibility and willingness to help resolve an honest error made within minutes of the purchase. My advice to future customers is to be extremely careful when checking the date, time, and currency before confirming a reservation. Based on my experience, this is not an operator that is willing to negotiate or work with customers when unexpected issues arise, even when the request is made immediately after booking.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that booking mistakes can happen; however, the circumstances were not as simple as described. Your reservation was made at approximately 7:00 PM for a tour departing the following morning. Although our office normally closes at 7:00 PM, our team remained available until after 9:00 PM to organize your last-minute booking. We contacted the driver and guide on call, finalized operational arrangements, and prepaid the required attractions and entrance tickets to ensure your tour could operate smoothly the next day. When you requested cancellation around 10:00 PM, these arrangements had already been completed and costs had already been incurred. For this reason, we were unable to cancel the booking free of charge or offer a refund outside the agreed cancellation policy. We always strive to assist our guests whenever possible, but we must also honor commitments already made to our staff and suppliers. We appreciate your understanding and wish you the best in your future travels.

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!
Dear Teresa, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're truly delighted to hear that you and your daughter had such a memorable and enriching experience with Normands. We hope to welcome you both back to Switzerland for another adventure in the future! Warm regards,
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!

David will be especially touched to know his extra effort—giving the tour on his day off during a national holiday—made such a positive impact. We're glad you and your family enjoyed the chocolate museum, cheese factory, and of course, that delicious fondue in the village! Your kind words mean a lot, and we’ll be sure to share them with David. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon for more unforgettable experiences!
