    The top and final experience of the beautiful lake.

    One hour trip by train from Geneve to lovely Montreux: a city located on the evergreen mountain and down embracing the lake. Less than an hour walk by the lake, you reach Chillon, the exciting historical monument .

    Trip to Montreal and Swiss Countryside

    Absolutely wonderful trip from Geneva. Roger was fantastic! Beautiful countryside. Relaxing cruise on the lake. Castle de Chillon and Montreux were beautiful. But the major surprise was Chaplin World. An absolute jewel and must see attraction. Just be prepared for a long but very enjoyable day.

    Comfortable bus and knowledgeable driver. He was also very flexible with times and allowed us to enjoy a boat ride during the time. Also allowed us to stop and enjoy a fabulous view with wine and nibbles on the way back
