Switzerland · CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCES
Tastings, tempering workshops and the factory floor at Kilchberg. These 15 cover Zurich, Geneva, Lucerne and Basel, with what each includes, how long you stand up for and how much chocolate leaves with you.
Self-paced Lindt Home of Chocolate near Zurich with 9 m fountain, factory views, audio guide, and unlimited Swiss chocolate tastings in a day.
“The generous amount of free chocolate was great but the whole museum was short.”
Bus sights, guided Old Town walk, Lake Zurich cruise, and Lindt tastings in one 6-hour loop, with optional FIFA Museum add-on.
“I originally just wanted to do the Lindt Home of Chocolate but as it was sold out I decided to join this tour and I’m so glad I did - it was excellent. Also such great value for money as the individual activities alone would have cost so much more. This way you get a real 360 view of the entire city of Zurich. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and helped us navigate both the tour and local public transportation routes. Cannot recommend enough!!”
Geneva chocolate walk with old town sights and a Lake Geneva boat ride. Sample 12 award-winning treats in a small group.
“Great way to get to know the city of Geneva and its rich history! Paul was quite knowledgeable and was a wonderful tour guide! He taught us the proper way to taste/eat chocolate. :)”
Zurich in 5.5 hours: coach and Old Town walk, a prebooked Lake Zurich cruise, and Lindt Home of Chocolate tasting, plus optional FIFA.
“This tour was more than what we expected. The combination of cruise and chocolates was simply a treat. At the end of the day, the whole experience was a lot of fun!”
Zurich Lindt Home of Chocolate guided tour with skip-the-line entry, unlimited tastings, cocoa history, and pralines, about 1.5 hours.
“We had a lovely guide Jenny show us around on the English speaking tour. She was fantastic. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour fun. The history of chocolate making was fascinating and the extra sample tastings along the way was an extra bonus. We come from Australia so there was lots of extra flavours of chocolate to try that we don't have at home. Many people were taking the audio tour but I think the actual tour gave you a better grasp of Lindt chocolate. Overall I would recommend to book the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Who wouldn't, it's chocolate!!”
Maison Cailler near Montreux: an interactive 1-hour chocolate tour with tastings, cocoa history, and lots of samples.
“La historia de Cailler y del chocolate la cuentan de una manera interactiva y divertida. Me encanto, vale la pena la visita y la degustación de los chocolates.”
From Geneva to Gruyères for Cailler chocolate, Gruyère cheese tastings, a medieval village stop, and scenic Golden Express train views.
“Loved it, no shortage of chocolate or cheese! Excellent value for money. No other snacks needed along the way. Recommend doing the golden panoramic train very lovely views. Safe to leave items like coats on the bus. Not over booked so a good size group. Early start meaning almost guaranteed no line on arrival at both planned events, except when you look behind you 5 mins later! All the tours leave from the Geneva central bus station sp find that and then your operator, 2 mins walk from the main train / tram station. Long day but restaurants of all types within 200m on return with reasonable value. Our guide…”
A half-day tasting trip from Zurich to Appenzell, with Maestrani’s Chocolarium exhibits and Appenzeller cheese samples plus a Swiss village stop.
“It was interesting. we enjoyed this tour. Especially guide named Teri is so kind and his driving was so gentle. he kept checking tourist condition. it was nice memory to my family all!”
Lucerne’s Swiss Chocolate Adventure at Transport Museum, a 30-minute multimedia ride with 10 stops, audio in 8 languages, and a sample.
“Il rapporto qualita' prezzo e' fallimentare. Ci aspettavamo un viaggio entusiasmante all'interno del cioccolato per tutta la sua filiera ma non e' stato cosi'. Si sta seduti su una giostra a forma di tazza che percorre lo spazio di visita. Le informazioni date sul cioccolato sono cose note a tutti e nulla aggiungono alla conoscenza che gia' tutti abbiamo. Persino mia figlia di 11 anni e' rimasta delusa. Una giostra si e' rotta. Percorso dove lo spettatore e' passivo Nessuna interazione. Percorso non immersivo. Deludente e il prezzo altissimo. Meglio visitare le fabbriche di cioccolato.”
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 Swiss chocolate and Alpine cheese with wine, then walk Chapel Bridge and see Lucerne Castle. Optional Lake Lucerne cruise.
“Perfect tour of Lucerne with the right mix of food and sightseeing. The group size was also small which allowed everyone to participate and connect with each other. Our guide Luis was amazing. He made the tour more lively, informative yet entertaining. It was a fun tour to get a good insight into Lucern. Highly recommended!”
A sweet-and-savor day from Geneva to Gruyères: Cailler chocolate tastings, a Gruyère cheese museum, medieval village time, plus optional GoldenPass views.
“It was wonderful! Our tour guide Bobbis was so kind and helpful, and we got to explore so much.”
Chocolate at Maison Cailler, cheese and fondue at Gruyères, then the GoldenPass train back to Geneva for a full flavor day.
“so fun and interesting. A great value. our driver was great, he explained everything completely and was very nice on top of being a great driver! we loved our tour.”
Geneva to Gruyères by air-conditioned coach for Maison Cailler chocolate, La Maison du Gruyère cheese, and medieval village views.
“We had a great time. It was a small group and Din our tour guide/driver kept us informed and entertained. We got to sample the Gruyeres cheese that is made there along with a very delicious fondue. So much to see and the weather was perfect, not too hot. I would recommend this trip to everyone.”
Stroll Zurich Old Town with a local guide and sample Sprüngli, Lindt, Max pralines, and Teuscher truffles on a 2-hour chocolate walk.
“The guide was simply fantastic. It covered a lot of interesting places in Zurich. The chocolate places covered were interesting.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
