    The visit to the cheese factory and the castle was an unforgettable experience, although the free time to explore was a bit short.

    The excursion to Gruyères was the best, beautiful landscapes and the cheese, not to mention the cheese, all very nice. I didn't know much about Switzerland but now I love it.
