Perfect Zürich layover activity - We really loved the combo of the chocolate tour with seeing the sights of Old Town Zürich. Annelise was a lovely host. The only thing that could make it even better would be spending a little more time walking around the picturesque buildings. Perfect way to spend our layover!

Walking tour with 3 tastings of different sweets - This tour was a walking tour of Switzerland with stops at 3 places. At Sprungli, we did not have chocolate, but we had Luxembergerli, which is like a macaron. We then went to Teuscher where we tried truffles and we stopped at Laderach where we sampled various chocolates. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the sweets. It's basically a free tour and all you're paying for is to taste the sweets (which we enjoyed!).

AWESOME well balanced tour of the city and chocolate!! - This tour with Johnny was really fantastic. We loved that we got to hear information from a local who was born and raised in the area. Johnny was very helpful and we loved that the tour was small. The chocolate was delicious and we loved his recommendations!!! Excellent tour with chocolate included for the price!!! :-)

Best tour in our trip - It is not only a chocolate tour but also a tour for some remarkable places in the old town of Zurich. The chocolates we have tasted are excellent. The guide is super helpful and talkative. In addition to chocolates she also gave us a lot of information about touring Zurich. Recommend to join the tour at the beginning of your trip to Zurich so you can save time of researching what to see.

A sweeter way to tour downtown Zurich - Our guide was very nice and informative. She brought us to three major chocolate retailers where we got to sample more than enough chocolate and other desserts. In between the stores, we were given a brief tour and learned some interesting facts about Old Town and Zurich!

History and Chcolate - This was a fun and informative tour. It is a history tour with a focus on chocolate. It does involve about 4 different chocolate shops. Our guide also gave us restaurant recommendations, which was nice.

Chocolate tour - Lovely chocolate however the tour guide Esther did actually keep some of the chocolate for herself that was left over and I wouldn't say that it was worth the value.
