A day in Gruyère - Gabor was a wonderful guide. Very congenial and knowledgeable. Old town Gruyère is picturesque surrounded by beautiful scenery. The castle is very interesting and well worth the time to visit. The cheese and chocolate tours were fun but touristy. All in a day well spent.

Great tour - thanks, Gabor! - We took this tour as a group of 4, and definitely enjoyed it! Gabor was informative and helpful, and the tour was well organized and timed. We especially enjoyed the time spent in the town of Gruyere, and we had an excellent lunch following Gabor’s suggestions. The tour option inclusive of entrance fees made it very easy on us.

An excellent day tour of Gruyère - We had a fabulous tour to Gruyère with Gabor and G-express Tours. We were collected at our hotel in Geneva and we were transported to Gruyère in Gabor’s clean and comfortable SUV. Gabor offered a lot of great info about the surroundings on our way to and from Gruyère and he supplied even more interesting info prior to the cheese, Callier chocolate, and castle tours. We also had an excellent lunch at the Hôtel Restaurant Le Saint Georges in Gruyère. Gabor deposited us at our hotel in Geneva at the end of fun, delicious, and educational tour. We would recommend Gabor highly if you are interested in a day trip to Gruyère.
