We had a ‘silver’ ticket which included the same chocolate factory experience (it was excellent) and the museum and tasting sample at the cheese factory (not lunch).
We had a longer time in Gruyere village which was useful and chose to visit the castle museum; I think gold ticket holders had a shorter time in the village.
Roger was an excellent guide and his driver was also very proficient - comfortable travelling all day. I particularly enjoyed the St Bernard stories and info about the vineyards.
We didn’t join the train journey and travelled back to Montreux on the bus although there is an option to buy tickets as extra on the train if you want.
Overall, as a family of which includes young adult children, we enjoyed our day and would recommend highly.
