Embark on a full-day guided tour through Lake Geneva's captivating landscapes. Begin your journey with a comfortable coach ride from Geneva through the picturesque Vaud countryside leading to Corsier-sur-Vevey. At the center of this charming village lies Charlie Chaplin's World, a museum dedicated to the life and work of the legendary performer. Explore to your heart's content with free entry.

Your next stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lavaux, known as "The Wine Road," with terraced vineyards from Roman times. Take a break amidst the vines to sample local products such as cheese, wine, or grape juice, and enjoy the panoramas of Vevey City.

From Chillon Castle to Montreux's Music Scene

In the afternoon, board an open trolley to take an enchanting drive along the lake road from Vevey to a 12th-century island castle called Chillon, which inspired Lord Byron to write his famous poem, The Prisoner of Chillon.

Your final stop will be Montreux, a glamorous resort frequented by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ray Charles. Look out for the bronze statue of Freddie Mercury facing Lake Geneva. The world-famous band Queen's old recording studio is at the Montreux Casino, where Mercury recorded his last album, Made in Heaven.
