We were caught in traffic on the way back and missed our dinner reservations. It was nice to see the country side, but I’m not sure I would recommend to a colleague.”

7.Winter Gruyères, chocolate & cheese tour from Lausanne

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $202

Travel from Lausanne to Broc and Gruyères with an English-speaking driver-guide. Visit the Cailler chocolate museum for tastings, learn how Gruyère AOP cheese is made, sample cheese, and enjoy free time in the medieval village. The tour lasts about five hours, with Alpine views along the way.

“Description of where to get the bus isn’t quite right. From Metro entrance, cross the street so that you’re on the lake side, and wait by the parking lot for Chateau d’Ouchy. We enjoyed the tour of the Cailler chocalate factory — just realize you don’t see much of the actual factory; it’s more of a history of chocolate coming to Switzerland. But there’s a room where you can sample their chocolates! Gruyere cheese museum was interesting too. We only had about an hour to look around in the town after. If you want to see the castle, bring your own lunch!”
