Overview of your Geneva tour:

If you want to have a real taste of Swiss sceneries, let's go to Gruyères. We will take the train from Geneva to the medieval typically Swiss village called Gruyères. If you have purchased your Swiss travel Pass, then no need to buy any tickets for train. (The cost of 1 round trip ticket for the guide is included on the price seen on site): Gruyères is situated in the "canton" of Fribourg, in the prealps, approximately 2 hours drive from Geneva. There, you will find luscious green hills with distinctive large black and white cows or plain cream ones. We will visit the site of the well preserved castle with its magnificent views on the lake of Gruyère. We will then visit the factory where the famous Gruyere cheese is made. Finally, we will visit a chocolate factory in another neighbouring village, before coming back to Geneva.
