Our guide was very interesting and the cheeses were delicious!
We learned a lot about the different cheeses of Switzerland and how they are made. The information was well presented. Cheese could be purchased if desired, but no pressure to buy.
The cheese was super delicious and the hostess informed and very nice. A great way to learn about cheese diversity and its importance in Switzerland.
It was a great experience, the guide was eeally knowledgeble.
Awesome time with gorgeous cheese and interesting stories
Fabulous tastings. Gina is a great host. We tasted so many different types of cheeses from Switzerland. Many exotic chocolate flavors. All in a private tasting room. This tour also includes a tour of old town of Basel and the main market p y
Overall a very poor experience. No one showed up at the time planned, even after myself and another person that had waited over half an hour after the booked time, tried to get in contact there was no answer. Waste of time.
I really loved this experience. I loved being able to try seven different cheeses and learning the background and the process of how each cheese was made. You also have the opportunity to buy cheese if you liked any and my personal favorite was the head of the monk cheese.
It was a lovely experience. Gina was energetic and provided a lot of great information about cheese I did not know. As a lover of cheese learning new things is always great. Especially when it’s about something so delicious as cheese. Gina was engaging and was excellent.
A great little shop, located in the center. We had both the cheese and chocolate tasting with Gina and she made it a great experience! Super nice and informative, an absolute highlight of our stay in Basel. Highly recommended!:)
