The trip is highly recommended. The views on the way to Gruyere are stunning and the village itself is unique. However, the full description of the trip and the information given by the guide give an impression that there will be a close encounter with cows which did not happen. Also, during the trip when we returned back to the bus some persons took over my and my friend's seats which is unusual in any trip as everyone tend to return back to their same seats after each stop. This was eventually fixed but when I asked the guide to kindly try to prevent this from happening again after the next stop. He seemed upset and replied that he cannot reserve a seat for me (which obviously was not what i asked for) and he cannot know what's inside everyones brain. Simply he could have replied that he will try his best to keep things organised and he could have made a short reminder in the bus for everyone to keep their positions throughout the trip. Other than this the trip is worth it.

Everything worked right on time. Beatiful places, knowledgeable guide, enough time in every place. The train ride at the end was very unpleasent! Old cart, uncomfotable and not enough seats. No airconditioning in this cart and the purpose of beatiful view was absolutely missed. Sad ending to a wonderful day.

It was beyond our expectations. It was very family friendly. Great guide Maggie, gentle kind knowledgable and very child friendly. Chocolate factory, cheese factory and fondue making and tasting was a unique experience for all of us. Golden pass train ride was scenic.
