Excellent tour. Victoria was an absolute gem of a guide. Funny and knowledgeable, she led us through the local lake area with stops at 7 chocolatiers/patisseries. She focused on what made each place unique, which was enjoyable because I likely wouldn’t have tried some of the selected treats on my own. I consumed all the samples offered, though some others on the tour got “chocolated out” and took baggies home. Not a miss on any of the choices suggested. While walking we heard about the global history of chocolate and then how chocolate was important to Switzerland’s history. Victoria also had impressive knowledge of Geneva’s architecture and history. I had booked this tour when Covid shut down travel and they honored my payment 4 years later. First rate company, tour guide and tour. Highly recommend!

Victoria was a great tour guide who showed us a wide range of different Swiss chocolate. Manage to try all of them and also offered a discount if the chocolates were purchased.

Our tour guide Veronica is superb!
She's very friendly and informative. Made sure everyone enjoyed the tour and always head counts so no one will be left behind. Since we're with senior citizens, she's very patient while maintining a good jolly vibe. So far, she's one of the best tour guide we had on our europe trip ♥️

This tour was Fantastic! Our guide Valarie was the absolute best. We got history, we got to see Geneva, we LOTS of chocolate. It rained most of the tour and that did not dampen (pun intended) our experience. We went to six chocolate shops with an opportunity to try chocolate and shop at each. I highly recommend this tour!

Lillian was amazing! So much knowledge about Geneva and chocolate. She has tons of personality and even made sure the vegetarians in the group got an alternative without gelatin at one stop. Highly recommend!
