This tour was amazing! Our guide was truly fantastic and brought history to life while sharing the passion for chocolate. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend and am so grateful I chose this last minute experience during my short trip here. Thank you!
What a fantastic tour. Isabelle was just amazing. She was fun knowledgeable and had an amazing energy. The chocolate and cake was divine. It was our wedding anniversary and Isabelle made the tour the best day and experience. Loved it and would definitely recommend.
Susie was an excellent guide and very friendly. Don’t know where the 3 hours went, but it flew by in a flash. Highly recommended
Excellent tour of the city and history with amazing chocolates! Thank you to Isabelle for a fantastic experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Chocolate Flavours Tour in Geneva with Isabelle. She has such a love for her hometown, and for chocolate! Her enthusiasm was infectious, and spending time with someone so passionate about what she was sharing made the experience all the more enjoyable. The small group and relaxed pace were a big part of what we loved. There was time to ask questions, enjoy the chocolate and take in our surroundings without feeling rushed. It felt more like exploring Geneva with a knowledgeable local friend than following a tour group around. A great way to get to experience the old part of the city while indulging in some delicious chocolate. Thank you, Isabelle!
It was an excellent tour with a charming young woman as our guide. Susie was informed, kind, patient and charming. the tour was made even better with the people who happened to be on the tour, everyone was friendly and we all had a great time! The tour is also a tour of the Old Town which is beautiful and obviously full of interesting places and architecture.
Great tour. Mar is a wonderful guide. Delicious chocolate and great information on Genevas history
This is a history tour of the old town of Geneva, punctuated with visits to the best Swiss chocolatiers. Including tasting, until you’re all chocolated out. Mar was a brilliant tour guide.
Luic was amazing. I learned a great deal and really enjoyed the history and the tastings. I highly recommend this wonderful tour of the city and the chocolate!
Luic was very knowledgeable and kept the experience fun
Wonderful!! Our guide Paul was fun, very informative and knowledgeable not only about chocolate, but local history. Most of all, he made the tour an experience to remember...thank you Paul!! Of course, every piece of chocolate we tasted was delicious! Would highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time on the tour. Susie our guide was great at sharing history about geneva and Switzerland's chocolate culture. The chocolates we sampled were all delicious, and we tried some interesting flavours we probably would not have tried otherwise. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Our guide, Loic, was funny knowledgeable and attentive. Great experience and highly recommended!
I had some time to spare so booked on last minute. Loic was our guide and was absolutely fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and had a great rapport with all the chocolatiers.
Amazing guide (Susie) - a fun way to see the city, get history, and get a local taste.
Super fun and great way to see the city besides the amazing chocolate. Luic, our guide was amazing and really made the tour for us!!
Susie was great - we had a great time
Guide was very informative Geneva is wonderful place to explore enjoyed the taste testing the hot chocolate was delicious
This was a good blend of experiencing the city and enjoying amazing chocolates. The guide is a good storyteller with a quirky sense of humor which was very appreciated.
Mar was awesome, very friendly and welcoming, we had a great time

Mar did a great job making us fell welcome
Great Tour despite the rain our guide Louie was fantastic.
Susie was a great guide!! Tour was very informative and delicious
Our tour with Loïc was very enjoyable!! We spent a lovely afternoon getting to know Geneva, the old town and many excellent local Swiss chocolate shops! Loïc was quite knowledgeable about the history of Geneva and of chocolate in Europe. We definitely recommend this tour!
Isabel was amazing. I so valued the rich and nuanced way that she brought the history and culture of the city across. Don’t get me wrong the chocolate was amazing but for me Isabel made the experience something unique. I do tours to under how a part of the world came to be and the influences that create it. Isabel exceeded that expectation. Would highly recommend the trip to anyone. My only suggestion is to consider a way to tip that doesn’t require cash. I only travel with credit cards and Isabel most definitely deserved to be tipped. Hopefully this review is one small way that may bring future prosperity into her life.
Isabelle is an amazing guide. Loved here passion about the history and chocolate!!
Loic was excellent. Very knowledgeable and very prepared. Walked at a comfortable pace too. Gave great information about some things we saw on our walk as well as chocolate info. Such a gentleman too.
A great introduction to Geneva and its notable chocolatiers! We really appreciated the curated stops and doses of history along the tour.
Excellent tour guide! Amazing taste of Swiss chocolates, and interesting tour of the old town with colorful stories of Geneva history.
Absolutely loved this tour, Vicky was amazing, really looked after us and showed us around the old town and sampling all the beautiful chocolatiers along the tour. Vicky shared lots of historical stories and made our tour so memorable. A good day to end our fantastic trip to Geneva - was spot on.
My wife and I ended up being the only ones in the tour, and Isabelle was a lovely guide. Her English was excellent and she was lighthearted throughout the tour. I enjoyed all of the places we visited for various chocolate treats. I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who is ok with walking 1-2 kilometers over the course of several hours.
We had a lot of fun and the time flew by. It was very chilled and we were not rushed. The chocolate was amazing and our tour guide Loic was great, very friendly.
This was a great tour, Paul was an amazing guide, teaching us a lot about the history of Geneva and chocolate. The samples we tasted while exploring the city were also incredible!
If you love chocolate and you want to learn some history about chocolate and Geneva, this tour is for you! Isabel was outstanding! She maintained control of the pack and did everything she could to stay on-time. An interesting and enjoyable three hours!
Loic made the three hours lively from start to finish: clear and passionate explanations about the history of Swiss chocolate, plenty of anecdotes about the Old Town, and a great sense of humour. He was attentive to every participant and kept a pleasant pace between the tastings, the historical stops and the crossing of the lake. A little bit pricy though.
Paul was awesome and the tour was a great time!
Paul was the best! Knowledgeable, funny and interactive. We visited 4 shops as well as a hot chocolate tasting first and an award winning patisserie in the middle. It was everything promised . Book with confidence and ask for Paul!
Loic was a great guide! The chocolate was amazing and got to learn a lot about the history of chocolate in Switzerland!
Pressure Isabel’s friendly outgoing personality and detailed description of many parts of the city of Geneva. She went out of her way to accommodate my sensitivities to preservatives and found alternatives for me to taste. Much appreciated
Great tour and even better tour guide! The walking amount was ample and the tastings were spread out.
Our guide Loic was an excellent guide and we had a wonderful time....learned lots about Switzerland 's history with chocolate and after tasting so many chocolates, felt that the Swiss chocolate is the world's best!
We loved our guide Susie! Very kind, informative and pleasant to converse with. The chocolate offerings were spectacular and all unique! We bought several chocolates to take home- unexpectedly! The hot chocolate was the most memorable drink ever in my life!!!
This tour is gorgeous and so worth the experience. Our tour guide Isabel was super engaging, funny, and personable. Definitely recommend this tour when visiting Geneva.
A very nice and relaxed walking tour of the old part of town, with lots of delicious chocolate tasting of course! A quick visit inside the cathedral is included, so no need to plan a separate trip up the hill for that. Marianne, our tour guide, was delightful and informative. Best hot chocolate I've ever tasted.
Pavel was an excellent tour guide.
Mari was a wonderful guide. She was so knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun with her stories and enthusiasm. We were so lucky to have her for our 3 hour tour. Great experience and very sweet!!!
This was a terrific tour, especially for a Sunday when most everything is closed. Our guide was terrific, very knowledgeable, and helpful.
Peter was amazing!! Extremely knowledgeable and a great personality !! I was very impressed in how much chocolate we ate! Will highly recommend!! Thank you!
