Zurich: Chocolate Tasting and Walking Tour with a Local

Basically the tour guide went around the main part of the city going into shops that offered free candy and here and there bought a few small chocolates and something you yourself can do. Complete not worth it. So disappointed!

James is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He also has a great sense of humor. We enjoyed our private tour with him that included multiple chocolate stops, cheese and ice cream! He gave us time to sit for a few minutes and was attentive to our pace. Going private is a plus! James is a great tour guide too!

Excellent introduction to Swiss chocolate!!! James was a fabulous guide! Very knowledgeable about the process of making chocolate and the history of Zurich and Switzerland. Highly recommend!!!

I had high expectations for this tour. Sadly, it fell short. For the cost, certainly not worth it. In and out of 7 chocolate shops and a taste from each. The chocolate was excellent but certainly could have done the tour on our own. Our guide was pleasant and shared some interesting information but not enough to justify the cost. This is the first Viator that we have done that left us feeling disappointed

Not worth the money. A simple google search and you can find the chocolate shops on your own. Guide was ok. Truly regret the amount spent. I wish there were more reviews. Might have chosen a different experience.

More Than Just Chocolate – A Fantastic Zurich Experience with Christoph We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Christoph today and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zurich. While the experience centered around visiting some of the city’s boutique chocolatiers, what truly made it special was how much more it offered. Christoph is an exceptional guide — deeply knowledgeable about Zurich’s history, culture, and daily life in Switzerland. He brought the city to life with fascinating stories, local insights, and thoughtful context that made every stop meaningful. He also welcomed every question with enthusiasm, offering detailed and insightful answers that made the experience feel personal and engaging. The chocolate tastings were delightful, of course, but they became part of a much richer experience — one that connected us to the people, traditions, and spirit of Zurich. The two-hour format was just right: well-paced, engaging, and full of variety. We came away not only with a newfound appreciation for Swiss chocolate, but also for the city itself. An outstanding experience all around — thank you, Christoph, for sharing your passion and perspective with us!

Learned about Zurich’s history walking and enjoying chocolate from 8 different shops. Great chocolate from small batch to mass production stores. We enjoyed the smaller chocolate stores

The Chocolate Tasting and Walking Tour in Zurich with Natalia was delightful. We would never have found these special chocolatiers on our own. She knows them all, and the hot chocolate she treated us too was the Best!! She also knows the history of Zurich's old town and introduced us to the Town Hall. We highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful walk around the city stopping into several shops for a tasting of local chocolate varieties. Definitely worth the walk with a bum knee.

I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews, but so glad we did it. James was great! We had many many tastings. He gave us a great tour, was very informative and we had amazing tastings!
