Charming and delightful. Luis, our wonderful guide, set a leisurely pace and augmented our extensive tasting experience with an in depth historical review of the area. This tour was well worth the money.
This was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Geneva! We booked it expecting a fun chocolate tasting tour, but it turned out to be so much more. Alongside visiting a fantastic selection of chocolate shops (and tasting some incredible chocolate!), we were treated to a fascinating walking tour of Geneva filled with brilliant stories about the city’s history. It was the perfect mix of culture, history and indulgence. Our guide, Marianne, was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of both Geneva’s history and Swiss chocolate was amazing, and she made every stop interesting and engaging. She was so friendly, approachable and welcoming that it felt like exploring the city with a friend who knew all the best stories and hidden gems. Quite simply, she was the perfect host. We’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Geneva—it was worth every minute!
The guide was very knowledgeable and interested in sharing both his knowledge about chocolate and the history of Geneva. He was attentive and curious about us as a group.

This was an amazing tour. I highly recommend going on it. Our guide, Isabelle was very knowledgeable and did a great job sharing with us. The company did a great job communicating and sharing with us because we visited during tge heatwave. That did not stop Isabelle. Plus she shared lots of chocolates too! And amazing time in a beautiful city.
