I was disappointed with tour, . Wanted to hear more info on Basel . Disappointed in guides cheese and chocolate shop. Would have loved to buy some chocolate to take home, but it wasn’t a store. He didn’t offer us water during cheese/chicolate tour and there was only one chair to sit down in store. When we went to bakery, had to sit on a window ledge to eat pastry. This tour was not worth the money . He was late for our tour(he did email and let us know) and left us after tour to get back to hotel. Wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone . Debbie marx

It is not a typical food tour. It is also a private tour. We were taken to a shop owned by the tour guide. Very knowledgeable about cheeses and chocolate. Tastings of cheeses wonderful. Scant on the chocolate tasting though. Would suggest increase hospitality to offer chairs to sit and water to drink. Then we began our walking tour. Very informative of old part of Basel. Stopped at a bakery and selected a pastry. Probably the best I had tasted during our travels. But again no place to sit and eat our pastry.
To Long to Stand in the Cheese and Chocolate Shop

This tour was given by a very nice young man who took us to a pastry shop then to his store to taste cheeses and chocolate beans. He was very knowledgeable about where the cheeses came from and the flavors of each. A couple came in and spent quite a bit of time buying cheese in the middle of our tour. It was really a long time to stand without any chairs. We bought some cheese. We expected to be trying more chocolate pastries, not just chocolate beans with a couple of bites of chocolate. He did not have chocolate available to buy except one kid which we did not want. I hate to say this because he was so nice but I probably would not do this tour again.

This is not the typical culinary walking tour, although advertised as such. One pastry purchased per person (there was just two of us) to eat as we walked. No knowledge of what we could choose from. Then walked and took two trams with some history of the city to end up at a small shop owned by the guide with one chair to sit in total, with slivers given of 7 cheeses with explanation of some of how they are made. Then for the chocolate , half hour explanation of where the Cacao comes from with tasting of the nub of four cacao beans and two small squares of actual chocolate bars. This was not what we signed up for based upon the tour description and the pictures and even some of the reviews. Buyer beware.
