Good food, not much walking

Ask for Laszlo!
This was a fantastic introduction to Lucerne's Old Town, it's food and culture. Our guide Laszlo was absolutely lovely and I would suggest requesting him if at all possible. I had the BEST BEER OF MY LIFE on the tour, and we went back to some of the places the next day just because we enjoyed the food so much.

Great tour - Go for it!!!
This was a great tour - Lazlo took us to wonderful places to taste local foods and a wine pairing with cheeses. The chocolate shop was excellent and even had vegan and dairy chocolates. Lazlo was very personal and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour. We enjoyed it very much.

This is not the food tour to book
We book a food tour in every city that we visit. We booked this particular tour because it claimed to be a unique culinary experience. This food tour was the worst food tour we have ever taken. We expected maybe fondue or rosti. Instead we tasted 3 cheeses (two Brie and one mountain cheese) and a glass of wine, sausage and sauerkraut and a beer, approximately one teaspoon x3 liquors, chocolate, and the last place was to choose a drink off of the restaurant’s menu (soda, coffee, or alcohol). The chocolate was plentiful but all others were minimal. Our guide was a lovely lady, but we felt the need to carry the conversation. Needless to say, we left the tour hungry. The kicker was that we paid double what the other tours charged for the “unique culinary experience.” Oh well, live and learn.

Dear Ladonna. This is a "Culinary tasting tour" with enough Swiss samples of Cheese, chocolate, wine, beer, sauerkraut, sausages, Schnapps and coffee. Please DON'T COMPARE the portions and prices you get back home with the Swiss quality products! EVERY COUNTRY is unique on its culinary habits and standards and we travel to get to know about them, that's the reason of travel to different countries and experience different things. The Swiss quality products we offered are all organic and from local producers. You had a culinary private tour with our local guide and culinary expert. You have got exactly as we described it on the tour main information. It seems that you didn't even read what is included in the tour. I suggest give some time to read what every tour you have booked includes, so you will not be expecting services or products are not included. We wish you happy travels!:)
