Useful Information
Chillon Castle
You’ll then head to Château de Chillon, a beautiful castle with a dramatic position on Lake Geneva; the castle is one of Switzerland's most famous monuments. Enjoy a guided tour of the castle to learn more about its history, which dates back to the year 1005. The castle was made famous by a Lord Byron poem, The Prisoner of Chillon; Byron scratched his signature in the castle’s dungeon.

A picturesque trip travelling from Geneva to Montreux by coach with the lake on one side and countryside on the other. Chillon Castle on the edge of the lake was most interesting. The Christmas Markets were busy and fun.

Tour guide was very informative, and the castle was the highlight, although we didn't have a guided tour as I'd thought we would. The Christmas market was nice, although items are expensive by American standards. The scenery is beautiful though. The only thing that I really didn't like about this tour is that it was supposed to start at 10am, but the tour guide waited for 30 minutes for extra people to book, which took away from shopping time at the market.
