    A terrific day of sights

    Thanks to Normund for hosting and guiding our day around the lake. He was informative, entertaining and generous with his time. Vevey, Chillon Castle and Montreux are genuinely lovely locations. But a 10foot tall bronze statue of Freddie Mercury was our particular quest for this excursion and suddenly we were young teenage fans agsin

    Exceeded Expectations

    Tour starts at Charlie Chaplin's house and studio re-creation. Many times, these are mausoleums to bygone eras, but the studio celebrated his life and work by immersing you in the scenes. It was fun without being trite. The house did feel lived in, but haunted by the much too realistic wax figures. Take a quick peek at the first floor, skip the second floor, and go into the back yard -- the view was amazing. This was only the first stop. We took the option for the boat ride, seeing the mountains from in the lake. You want to do this. Chillon Castle was interesting and well preserved, but lacks good involvement. It would be better with a self paced audio tour. Our tour diverged from the schedule, skipping the Vevey fork statue. Instead, we asked to go to a winery, ending up at Galliard & fils. The view was breathtaking, and should be a more permanent option on the tour. Our driver Aristotle did a fantastic job, filling us in on details along the way and getting us to all the right places.

    Chillon Castle

    We rode the train from Geneva to Montreux, and then took a bus to the castle. The self guided tour was excellent with many languages available on audio guide.

    Vevey, Montreux, Chillon Day

    A full day of exploring. On-time pick-up at my hotel. Greeted by Amin was our Tour expert. A narrated drive to our 1st Stop, Corsica Sur Vevey, The Chaplin Museum. A super stop that offers a Timberline of Charlie Chaplins career and personal life. After we had a vineyard side snack and wine tasting. ***This is my only disappointment. I read that a vineyard was a stop... and yes it was roadside with snacks and wine in a paper cup. **This could've been a Wine tasting...right? Next up a stop at Vevey. The Alimentarium was interesting - but not expected. Next stop - a castle. Lots of history and great photos. The last stop was waterside. A photo-op with an opportunity to walk the Freddie Mercury Sound Studio... this was the best.

    Breathtaking views and amazing history

    The excursion to Vevey and Montreux was magical. Breathtaking views of Lac Leman and the Alps. The stops at Chaplin’s World and Chillon Castle were the icing on the cake. Our guide was great; provided just the right amount of narrative during the day and gave us a nice snack and wine at a vineyard overlooking the lake. If you appreciate music, be sure to find your way to the Queen Studio Experience during free time in Montreux; amazing to see where Freddie Mercury and Queen recorded their last several albums. I highly recommend this excursion.
