Vevey Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

A great visit, especially the studio part, even for children who don't know the character. A little disappointed by the garden.

Allow for a minimum of 3 hours. Booking 48 hours in advance allows for a discount (Free on your birthday). In the summer, there aren't too many people because tour operators are not present. The scenography, in the reconstructed studios, is magnificent.

Emmanuel was an excellent tour guide. Adaptable, helpful and able to communicate effectively with the different age groups.

Jean Luc was a lovely man who gave us a wonderful orientation to Vevey and its history. We were happy to have participated on the tour.

Cruising on Lake Geneva in your old fashioned lake bateau was an amazing fun experience. The views from the boat were spectacular ! And arriving by bateau to Chillon Castle was a million dollar view! One comment: a return schedule posted on that board by the dock would have been helpful.

The internet advised to book this trip early, however, you can hop on & off the boat at various stops, just check the CGN schedule. As you also get discount tickets when staying in the area, another reason to wait till you get to Switzerland. That said - I suspect it could be busy in the summer months. We got on at Vevey (paddle steamer Italie) & had 2 hour cruise along the shore to Montreux ( it stops before here & also at Montreux) Then Chateaux de Chillon before heading towards the other side of the lake. Another couple of stops then directly back across to Vevey. Very comfortable facilities. Worth the little extra for First class,as better seating & lounge.

Gruyeres is a small town located not too far from Montreux - an easy day trip. Our tour started with a castle tour and the grounds which have been somewhat modernized, but still very beautiful. We also enjoyed a fondue lunch at a local restaurant. The train ride back to Montreux was very scenic.

Allow at least 2 hours to enjoy the visit

Breathtaking and very beautiful immersion of memories and laughter

Shortly after leaving Vevey, you can see the fork piercing Lake Geneva in front of the Alimentarium from the lake side. The slopes of the Lavaux region were also beautiful. I was able to spend a relaxing time in this Swiss resort. I really got a sense of the richness of Switzerland. Even if the finish line wasn't Château de Sion, it was a satisfying cruise.

My 3rd season as a Horizon member. I love the Italie!!! And the service crew is exceptional. I had a wonderful cruise and lunch last week. Franck and Sophie were so professional...The service in the dining room is 1st class!!! Thank you!

Emmanuel was so attentive to our desires and needs. He helped us see the obvious sites around Montreux, but he also went out of his way to give us an insiders view of this beautiful and amazing area. Thanks Emmanuel you are a part of a most memorable experience!

Emmanuel did an outstanding job during the Gruyere and Chocolate tour with our family! He went above and beyond to keep us on schedule, suggested stopping by the vineyard for pictures, and always kept an eye on us bringing us umbrellas when it started to rain. Lastly, Emmanuel managed to helped us surprise our Mother with the Queen Experience as well as taking us to the Freddy Mercury memorial. The overall trip was around 10 wonderful hours full of attention to detail and great memories!Thank you for everything Emmanuel!

A beautiful cruise on a pleasant boat to admire the magnificent panorama! A drink included in the price and an audio guide for commentary are missing. The staff is friendly.

Take the 212 bus to get there, it's more convenient.

The artist and the man emerge: the comedian we all know and the tender grandfather who repeats certain sketches to amuse his grandchildren
