From Geneva: guided Chaplin bus tour with boat trip from Montreux to Chillon

DESCRIPTION

Discover wonderful views of Switzerland, the Alps and Lake Geneva on this guided tour from Geneva. Travel by comfortable coach from Geneva through the countryside of the canton of Vaud to Vevey and discover Chaplin's World. A place dedicated to Charlie Chaplin. Embark on an extraordinary adventure through time and the magical world of cinema. Prepare to be moved by one of the most surprising artists of the 20th century through the sets of his greatest films in our Hollywood-style studio. Next, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lavaux, also known as the 'Wine Route'. Here you will take a break in the middle of the vineyards to taste some local products such as cheese, wine or grape juice. Shortly before lunch, you will take a tour of the town of Vevey, the Nestlé headquarters, the covered market and spend some time at leisure for your lunch. In the afternoon, you board the old steamboat "Belle Epoque" and sail across Lake Geneva. The destination of this trip is Chillon Castle, the most visited castle in Switzerland dating back to the 11th century. Chillon Castle is beautifully situated on a small island at the western end of Lake Geneva between Montreux and Villeneuve. This romantic castle was long of strategic importance for controlling trade in the Lake Geneva region. Your last stop is in Montreux. Feel the atmosphere of all the great artists who have visited this place, such as Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, BB King, Ray Charles and many more... The town's landmark is the statue of Freddy Mercury; he said: "If you want peace of mind, you should come to Montreux". This artist, who lived in Montreux for several years, recorded his last album with the group Queen, "Made in Heaven", at the Mountain Studio in the Montreux Casino. You have the chance to visit Queen's old recording studio. Stroll through the streets full of chic stores and landmarks of the famous jazz festival before the bus takes you back to Geneva.
