Hi, I’m Luiz Eduardo – a passionate tour guide with over 20 years of experience in the tourism industry. Originally from Brazil, I’ve been lucky to call Switzerland my home for the past 8+ years. Before becoming a full-time guide, I worked as a travel agent, helping others plan unforgettable journeys around the world. Today, I use that same passion and expertise to craft exclusive private tours across the Lausanne region, the Canton of Vaud, and beyond in this beautiful country. What I love most about guiding tours isn't just the stunning landscapes or historic sites – it's the people. I truly enjoy connecting with travelers from all walks of life, hearing their stories, and creating memorable experiences together. Whether it's a couple on a romantic getaway, a family exploring Switzerland for the first time, or a group of friends on an alpine adventure, I tailor every tour to match your pace, interests, and curiosity. Lausanne, with its blend of lakeside charm, rich history, and vibrant culture, is a gem in the heart of the Canton of Vaud. From the terraced vineyards of Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage site) to the panoramic views of the Alps and the timeless beauty of nearby castles and alpine villages, this region offers so much more than people expect. Switzerland is known for its precision, natural beauty, and quality of life, and exploring it with someone who knows and loves the land makes all the difference. With every tour, I aim to combine the warm, welcoming spirit of Brazilian hospitality with the reliability and attention to detail that Switzerland is famous for. I look forward to meeting you, sharing stories, and showing you the Switzerland I’ve come to love so much.

Cheese, Chocolate & Castle
Overview of your Montreux tour
Step into a storybook setting on this private day tour through some of Switzerland’s most enchanting landscapes. I’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in Lausanne, Geneva, or Bern, and drive you through the scenic Fribourg Alps toward the charming medieval town of Gruyères, home to the legendary Gruyères Castle, a beautifully preserved 13th-century fortress. First, we’ll stop at a local cheese factory, where you’ll learn how authentic Gruyère cheese is made and taste it fresh from the source. In Gruyères, you’ll have time to wander the cobbled streets and visit its impressive castle. Then, we’ll visit Maison Cailler, Switzerland’s most iconic chocolate factory. Here, you’ll explore the world of Swiss chocolate. To finish the day, we’ll head to Montreux, a beautiful resort town between the Alps and the tranquil shores of Lake Geneva. You can stroll along its flower-lined promenade, admire Belle Époque architecture, and take in the Mediterranean flair that makes this lakeside gem so unique.
