Loved the mix of cities, Lausanne's old town, Montreux's lakefront, and then the castle. Felt like three trips in one, all without any hassle.

    Beautiful day along the lake. Would have liked a bit more time in Lausanne's old town, but the castle more than made up for it.

    Driving past the Lavaux vineyards was a lovely surprise, didn't expect that view. The whole day felt very well paced and relaxed.

    Booked this through gotripnow.ch and it was seamless from start to finish. Our guide knew so much about the castle's history and Lord Byron's connection to it.

    Montreux's promenade was gorgeous, especially with the flowers in bloom. Slightly overcast the day we went, but still a memorable trip.

    Perfect private tour for our anniversary. Our driver even suggested a great lakeside spot for lunch in Montreux that wasn't touristy at all.

    Really enjoyable day trip. Lausanne cathedral was more impressive than I expected, and the castle was the perfect way to end the tour.

    Fantastic value for a private tour. Comfortable vehicle, friendly and informative driver, and three completely different but equally beautiful stops.
