A question?

No. The Freddie Tour introduces you to Montreux’s musical history, from the Montreux Jazz Festival to the casino fire. These events and many others have shaped the town and put Freddie Mercury and Queen’s connection to Montreux into context.

As you walk, your guide brings this fascinating history to life, with stories, photos and videos on your audio guide. Queen fans can explore further with the 2½-hour Freddie Tour Extended.

During the Freddie Tours you will see the historic site of Mountain Studios, you will also receive the full story, many anecdotes and exclusive photos of this mythical place.

Your guide will also show you the entrance to the museum-exhibition "Queen - The Studio Experience" which is located inside the Montreux Casino. However, a guided tour inside is not included in the programme for several reasons:

• Admission to the "Queen - The Studio Experience" museum is free of charge.
• The "Queen - The Studio Experience" museum is very well documented and full of information that is accessible to all.
• The entrance is only a 2 minute walk from the Freddie Mercury statue, where the Freddie Tours end.
• Everyone can discover and enjoy this place at their own pace before or after the Freddie Tour.

Freddie Tours focuses on presenting exclusive content in order to bring something new and original to the visitor.
