What people are saying about Lausanne

This was a great trip overall, but the allotted time at Chateau de Chillon was way too short and we found ourselves literally running through the castle but still ended up not seeing the upper portions (where I understand we missed seeing views of the lake). In contrast, we had way too much time in Montreux and ended up just standing around and killing time after walking the entire lakefront. The guide was great and acknowledged that an extra 30-45 minutes at Chateau de Chillon would have benefited everyone on the tour (we all expressly commented that the Chillon portion was too rushed), especially since this time could easily be cut from the stop in Montreux.

I did this as a solo trip and loved it. We started off at the Chaplin House which was entertaining and informative. Followed by a short picnic with our tour guide in Vevey. After (if your purchase the boat ticket) we went on the boat to the castle. Lastly we ended the day off with some time in Montreux. Your guide will take you everywhere, explain everything thoroughly and make sure you have meeting points/times. My guide was fantastic! It’s a long day with lots of walking but I didn’t even notice because of the fun I was having! Despite it being overcast/rainy the views were still breathtaking and we made the most of the day. Highly recommend this tour.

After I reached the tour operator office, I was in for a shock as I was informed the tour I had booked is cancelled due to technical reasons. Having travelled from India for rhe tour I was looking forward to it. Now whatever the reason for cancellation maybe, the guest should have been informed earlier and alternative arrangements made. An alternative option offered was not viable. I am now waiting for the refund which I hope will be soonest.

Absolutely recommend trip when the weather is nice. I had an amazing day at the mountain and the glacier!

Amazing , happy , nice ambiance , the tour is totally worth it
