Switzerland · CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCES IN BASEL
Good chocolate experiences in Basel fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Basel Old Town food tour mixing Swiss cheese, bean-to-bar chocolate, pastries, and seasonal market tastings, with an English guide.
“While our tour guide, Jean, was very nice - this felt more like a way to promote specific stores. We could have purchased chocolate, cheese and pastries at any of the wonderful shops in Basel instead of on the tour.”
Taste grand cru Swiss chocolate in Basel, learn cacao origins, sample multiple styles and a truffle in a 35-minute expert-led session.
“My mom and I were really excited for this tour until her dad suddenly passed away hours before, and we didn't know what to do. I canceled the rest of our flights and hotels and asked to get this tour refunded as well. They said no and that they could've just moved the tour to another day for us. What an awful and strange response. I'm glad this wasn't an experience we had paid tons for, but a heads-up to be aware of the people behind it. If the guides are anything like them, the only tasting you'll get on this tour are of their sour and salty attitudes.”
Private Basel walk plus Swiss chocolate tasting at 3 shops, led in English. See Basel Minster and Old Town, with easy meeting point.
“Great experience walking through Basel and trying all the chocolate! Would recommend for anyone looking for a private walking tour.”
2-hour Basel food tour with Swiss cheese, chocolate, and Lackerli. See Basel Minster, Town Hall, and the Tinguely Fountain.
“Loved the last stop- excellent cheese and chocolates with detailed explanations”
Basel Old Town walk with Basel Minster and Market Square stops, plus chocolate tastings at 3 local shops on a guided tour.
“Our tour guide, Gabriel, was wonderful and informative. He is an asset to your company! We learned so much about Basel's history and stopped by some lovely chocolate shops!”
Basel to Zurich day trip with a guided Old Town walk, Lake Zurich boat cruise, and chocolate tasting at three local shops.
“This tour was very well organized and a great way to see Zurich in one day. The chocolate tasting was a highlight- delicious and fun! The city tour was informative, and the lake cruise was relaxing with beautiful views.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
