    Montreux Walking Tour

    Pavel was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! He was informative on the local culture/history as well as activities around the area. He was more than happy to answer questions we had even after the tour. Pavel sent us recommendations and travel how-to for all activities we discussed while on our tour. Would highly recommend!

    A tour to remember!

    Our guide Yasmin was knowledgeable, flexible, and patient. Our tour of old Montreux was filled with history, great views and photo ops. We three women had different needs and expectations, and Yasmin listened and navigated our tour accordingly, as we walked up the hilly streets and back down to where we started.

    Magical Montreux

    Montreux with its beautiful micro climate was an extraordinary experience! Original plan was to go to Lake Cuomo but hotel was booked so we pivoted. Friend suggested Montreux which I never heard of. Well when you are given lemons and things turn into lemonade! The train station was across from our hotel, so simple! Book your train on the SBB app or take the train through the mountains which was our only bad move. In Montreux we stayed at The Grand Suisse Majestic with a spectacular lake view room. We peeled ourselves away from our room and walked the promenade down to the castle. Climbed up a steep hill and ate dinner at a great cafe. Earlier in the day we went to Charlie Chaplin World, which I thought would be a yawn....anything but! Go! Someday we will return magical Montreux.

    Ana is the best!

    Ana was absolutely fabulous! I wish we would have booked her for a full day. The weather was miserable and none of that mattered. One of the best tour guides ever

    Exceptional Anna

    Anna was an absolute delight! Gave us the inside info on Montreaux. We should have booked a longer tour with her as she was SO full of information.

    Kind tour guide- but very over priced

    Was very pricey for the experience. I had expected more insights, local history, stories, etc- but were given recommendations for restaurants the guide had never tried, and walked through the Christmas market that we had already seen. Also needed a bus pass- so we spent extra time getting this from the hotel. Would have liked to have known to do that beforehand.
