Wonderful day. The tour of the castle was full of interesting items and the surrounding. scenery was breathtaking. Luiz our driver and tour guide made our anniversary a very special day, he was very easy to talk to entertaining and knowledgeable. The stop at Montreux was a fantastic way to end our tour. Even the drive to Gruyere, Montreux and back was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour. 5 stars. Thank you Luiz for a wonderful day.
