A Kind of Magic - It was a magical moment standing next to Freddie and in Queen the studio experience it felt like all four members were in the room at the mixing desk. A kind of magic.

Amazing Freddie Mercury Tour in Montreux - Such an amazing tour, our guide was tremendous and a great host. So nice to hear some amazing secret stories and be able to place them in Montreux. Montreux is such a beautiful place, I can understand why Freddy and Queen came here to record their beautiful songs. If you are visiting then I would recommend this tour. Thanks for a lovely memory- Shane and Lucy - UK

Must-see in Montreux - This statue is such a beautiful tribute to one of the most influential figures in music history. It's a must-see if you're in Montreux and is perfectly placed with beautiful views overlooking Lac Leman. Best when coupled with the Queen Experience just down the promenade at the casino so you can learn all the background of the band and the city's impact on their music.
