5.00If you’re looking for a fun and delicious way to experience Geneva, I highly recommend this Swiss chocolate tour! The tour was the perfect mix of incredible chocolate tastings and fascinating history. We visited several excellent chocolatiers while learning about the origins of Swiss chocolate and its importance to Geneva’s culture. What truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Paul. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about both Geneva and Swiss chocolate. He brought the city’s history to life with interesting stories and insights, making the tour much more than just a series of chocolate stops. Whether you’re a chocolate lover, a history buff, or simply visiting Geneva for the first time, this tour is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. One of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland!
Fun chocolate tour.

Wonderful knowledgeable friendly and amazing tour guide Marianne,a great 3 hour tour into local history & chocolatery

5.00Tbh I would say under English trading standards law, advertising a 10 minute free public transport boat ride as part of a chocolate & old town tour & boat trip would probably get you into a bit of legal trouble.I had to book another boat tour of lake Geneva as your boat ride was a bit of a disappointment for the £95 each on your excursion cost. But takes nothing away from your wonderful & knowledgeable tour guide Marianne and our actual three hour experience
Amazing Chocolate Experience!

4.00Wonderful, Plenty of chocolate, boat ride was short and simple- I would not even advertise that,... but we went for the chocolate. PLENTY of chocolate and our guide was super knowledgeable. I would recommend this again. The only way that it could be better would be to include time to go INTO the church,... we only walked around the outside of it.
Great tour of Geneva

5.00Olivia was our tour guide and absolutely amazing. Great history of chocolate and Geneva as a city. Plus we had 6 or 7 stops at local chocolate shops with incredible samples! Walk was easy, even in 95 degree hit and with two young kids. Highly recommend!
