A must do in Basel - Your guide makes or breaks a tour. Gina, our guide for this food tour was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, very sweet and funny. She gave us a bit of history as we walked from place to place to experience the delicious food. I highly recommend this tour.

Lots of chocolate! - We had a lovely time with our guide tasting a wide variety of chocolates. The last stop at the artisanal chocolate shop was our favorite.

Fine/good, but misleading - The experience was fine, but the advertising is misleading. This tour is run by a cheese and chocolate shop - most of the tour is spent in the cheese and chocolate shop, with a couple of quick stops (a farmers market and a bakery) on the way there. The cheese and chocolate tastings there are very good, but the focus of the tour is on these, and less on offering a culinary overview of Basel.

Horrible operator! - Booked this tour looking forward to what it had to offer. Took the train from Colmar to spend the day, this tour was to be half of it. 15 minutes prior to tour they sent email which was not seen until 5 minutes after tour was to start. No real explanation given for cancellation but zero notice is very unprofessional. Do not give these clowns your money.

Tour Operator Bailed Out - The tour operator did not show up and provided no notice whatsoever. I waited over 30 minutes and attempted to contact them multiple times, with no response. This level of unreliability is unacceptable. I have requested a full refund and expect it to be honored. This was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience.
