An excellent chocolate bar with an excellent guide. Robert was very informative and knows his chocolate!
What a great tour. It was quite warm weather but the chocolate was delicious. I especially enjoyed learning about how chocolate is made and where the beans come from. Our guide, Robert, was great … we had some great conversations about all sorts of stuff. A very enjoyable time.
The tour was incredible, Lucas was very knowledgeable and informative about both chocolate but also Geneva history. I would recommend this tour highly
The chocolate tasting was amazing and Luca was a wealth of information about chocolate and Geneva history. I recommend this tour highly.
This was an awesome tour. We stopped at multiple places for chocolate, chocolate treats, and hot chocolate and it was also a great walking tour of parts of the old town. Highly recommend! Robert was very informative and great to talk to.
This was so much fun and informative. Ludivine was a wonderful guide. The chocolates were amazing! Never had anything like it!! We brought our little “friend” Ivan Ibex and he loved every bite!!
Our guide was knowledgeable about the city and the locations where we stopped for chocolate. We ended up with a private tour and he was happy to answer our questions and make adjustments based on our preferences. He spoke fluent English and was easy to understand. The chocolate was excellent and we enjoyed each stop!
Four different types of chocolate are offered vs a small sample of milk or dark chocolate truffles at each. This variety is nice to have. Also will enjoy some Geneva history while you walk through town.
Benjamin was a great guide! The tour was very interesting, we ate different traditional Geneva chocolates and we also walk through the old town. We had the chance to listen to Benjamin’s anecdotes on the city.
Great tour. Robert gave a tour of the old city while also taking us to 4 gorgeous chocolatiers. Come with an appetite!
