Sandi was fantastic! The chocolate was great, but even better was how much I learned about Lucerne. I recommend taking this tour on your first day as Sandi gave us great restaurant tips, and pointed out frescoes I hadn’t noticed before. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide, Sandiana, was knowledgable, enthusiastic and very skilled at relating history and great chocolate places in Lucerne. She went above and beyond by including a stop at the Jesuit church at our inquiry about it, and even popped into a restaurant to help us arrange hard-to-get reservations to ensure we tried fondue. We also appreciated the tour's emphasis on supporting "mom and pop" chocolatiers. We had a blast and would highly recommend this "Chocolate Hunting" tour to anyone!
We wanted to do this as soon as we arrived to get the lay of the land. We loved this! Sandiana was our guide and we are so thankful! She was so knowledgeable and obviously loves what she does! She gave many valuable suggestions as well.
Roula was amazing and very knowledgeable of Lucerne! The chocolate tastings were delicious.
Our tour guide, Matthew, was excellent! He went above and beyond to show us things we were interested in. Plus, you get your choice of chocolates at three local chocolatiers, yum!!
We had a lovely time on this tour. It was a great mix of history, culture, and chocolate. You leave with many great memories and lots of chocolate souvenirs.
Our guide, Matthew, was very well informed, willingly answered all our questions and was extremely accommodating to us and our requests. He was very knowledgeable about our tour but was also willing to address things beyond the scope of the tour. Matthew was very courteous and professional. He provided background to many things about Lucerne and Switzerland.
Our tour guide was awesome… ROULA! She gave us a magnificent history/architecture of Lucern! Her knowledge is amazing and we learned so much! She was very accommodating to our Schedule, which we deeply appreciate! And the chocolate we were able to try and take home was delicious! We highly recommend this tour!
Amazing tour Matthew was our guide nothing was to much trouble. Really good communication best chocolates I have ever tasted and saw lots of beautiful sites would recommend!
We had a great time exploring Lucerne and sampling delicious chocolates from a few privately owned chocolatiers. Our guide was fantastic - highly recommended!
Our guide Roula was excellent. Very knowledgeable about Lucerne and knew all the best chocolatiers. I have celiac disease and she did a fantastic job of checking that the chocolates would be safe for me to eat. I highly recommend.
Two of us went on the 2 hour “Chocolate Experience” tour with Roula. It was expensive and based on the website description, we expected a chocolate based tour in Lucerne for two hours. It promised tastings, history of chocolate and hot chocolate in a cozy café. The emphasis in the description was on the chocolate. We were paying for a Swiss chocolate experience. What we experienced, however, was Roula rushing us for 75 minutes through the old town of Lucerne, into churches and giving lots and lots of history and architectural details. We were rushed the entire two hours as if we were in The Amazing Race. It was hurried, and not at all what the website description said we would be experiencing. We would never have paid $200 a person for what this tour entailed. Roula Is a lovely knowledgeable person, but the tour is falsely advertised for what the actual experience is. Once we finally reached the 5 chocolate shops after almost 1.5 hours, we had about one minute to pick out a chocolate sample without any information about the store or what the chocolate was and then she offered them 10 Swiss Francs in each of the 3 stores for our *gift* for us to select chocolates. We never got “hot chocolate” in a cozy cafe. It was exhausting and overpriced, so beware.
Pleasurable morning stroll one on one with Roulla. She gave us many insightful Luzanne facts, history and culture on our walk. She was very kind and considerate about dealing with my gluten free allergy on the chocolate tasting on that part of the tour.
We had a wonderful time with our guide Roula! I highly recommend this tour. The chocolate was delicious and Roula is very knowledgeable about the city of Lucerne!
We took this tour with Roula who was very knowledgeable about the local history and about the best chocolate shops to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this tour! Roula walked us around the old town area identifying points of interest and recommending restaurants.
We had such a fantastic tour with Maria in Lucerne! She brought the city’s rich history to life with her knowledge and stories, and the stops at the different chocolate shops were an absolute treat. A perfect mix of culture and indulgence—highly recommend this experience!
Our tour guide Maria, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She made the tour a very enjoyable experience. The architecture of the buildings, churches , etc. , was beautiful.
Roula was a wonderful guide. She reached out the morning of the tour to ensure we knew where to meet. She was prompt and gave us a lot of details not only about the beginning of Swiss chocolate but about the city as well. We finished with the chocolate early so she took us to a beautiful church and to the lion sculpture. We really enjoyed our tour and learned a lot. Would highly recommend.
This was an amazing tour of Lucerne, we learned a lot about the history and locals. We made a stop at different chocolateries like Läderach and we could compare the quality of different varieties of chocolate. A great thank you to our guide Maria.
