Itinerary

Your day on the Swiss Riviera begins with pickup at your Geneva hotel and transport via an air-conditioned vehicle to Lausanne, where you’ll have an hour to visit the Olympics Museum (admission not included). Then continue on to Montreux—or upgrade to make the trip between Lausanne and Montreux via vintage boat—for two hours of free time to take in the town’s casino and other top sights and grab a bit to eat.

Next, head to Chateau de Chillon and explore this landmark castle for an hour at your own pace before a scenic drive through the Lavaux Vineyard Terraces. End with a drive along the lakefront back to your hotel in Geneva.

No show

Namrata_T, Jul 2024
We had booked a trip on july 24th - swiss riviera private tour and no one showed up. Visitor will refund us anyways after 3-4 days but it ruined the day for us .

They didn’t show up, nor cancelled beforehand.

Leyra_S, Feb 2024
I booked the private tour via Viator with GVA Transfers SARL and they didn’t show up on the day of the tour. I tried contacting them in every way possible, but they never responded. Viator did refund me very promptly, but all the hours I wasted waiting for them in Switzerland cannot be paid back.

Must see Countryside

Absolutely a wonderful journey along the lake. It was beautiful. We were able to see the sites at our pace. Joannis was a great driver.

Worry free day of exploring swim cities and countryside

John_W, Oct 2022
Seeing a waterfall and miles of vineyards and our driver Awtailo made the whole experience wonderful . We enjoyed him as much as the countryside.

Driver Only

Nancy_O, Jul 2022
It is just a driver. I would recommend as it is nice having someone drive. The Olympic Museum is a must as well as the Queen exhibition at the Casino. The castle walking tour by yourself is wonderful. We did not do the boat ride.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Not a tour - just a driver

Karisa_D, Jul 2022
Please read the description since this is NOT a guided tour but just a driver who brings you to each location. The only redeeming factor on this tour is that the locations you are going to are great but the money you spend for a driver isn't worth it.

Overpriced Uber

natasha_m, Jul 2022
This is not a guided tour or drive, it is only a drive. Pretty overpriced Uber if you ask me. I was really looking forward to this day, but unfortunately our driver pretty rude and unpleasant. He offered no information about any of the places we visited or drove by on along the way, my fiancé and I were actually googling our questions in the back because when trying to ask we were met with such hostility. Not to mention he was a poor driver, stomped on the break regularly, and had a temper. I hope he was just having a bad day and this isn’t usually like this, but his bad day came at a high cost for us… I gave 2 stars because the sights of course were still beautiful when we got out and at least there was AC.

A private tour!

Michael_M, Jul 2022
With our own driver in a lovely Mercedes Benz - what could be a better way to explore Switzerland. We stopped when we wanted. Our driver was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect day.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello Michael, thanks for your very nice review. We are delighted that your tour fulfilled your expectations. In fact, our Mercedes vehicles are ideal for being free to make stops along the way. We are happy that you enjoyed the beauty of our country. Hope to see you again.

Very Enjoyable Day

Sherrie_D, May 2022
Our great driver and guide, Said, made the day fun and was very considerate. My husband and I had a wonderful and enjoyable day touring Lausanne and the Olympic Museum, Montreux and Vevey, and Château De Chillon.

Response from Host, Jul 2023
