Join me on a private walk through Vevey and discover the town the way locals know it. I'm Manuela, I live on the Swiss Riviera, and I skip the generic highlights list to show you the stories most visitors never hear. Find out why Charlie Chaplin chose this small lakeside town for his final years, how Henri Nestlé built one of the world's best known food companies here, and why the market square is one of the largest in Switzerland. We walk at an easy pace, just you and your own group, with time for your questions and real conversation, so it feels less like a tour and more like being shown around by a friend.
Choose the Express Tour, 60 minutes, if you want the highlights of Vevey in one hour or choose the Classic Tour, 120 minutes, if you want the full story, with more time in the Old Town, the medieval walls, the Russian aristocrats who wintered here and the Fête des Vignerons, the UNESCO listed wine festival that happens only once every generation.
What's Included

Hi, I am Manuela your local guide, easy to recognize with my curly blond hair, and I will be waiting for you with a smile at the agreed meeting point under the market hall next to the Tourist Information center.
