Chocolate Walking Tour in Zurich

michellepwrs, Apr 2026

Wonderful tour and tour guide,!

We give Vanessa, our tour guide, 10 stars! She was a delight. She talked about chocolate, history, everyday life in Zurich, and more. She was so engaging! The chocolate stops were delicious, and well organized. We had variety of chocolate and treats. Highly recommend! Mostly flat but small hills and stairs in old town.

What’s not to like, chocolate and a tour!

This was a great trip. Knowledgeable guide who did a wonderful job explaining all the great historical aspects of the city. We got to see places we wouldn’t have on our own and learn a lot of awesome things that we wouldn’t have known walking it by ourselves. Highly recommend. Oh and the chocolate was 100% worth it!!

We had an excellent food tour with Shawn. We were able to sample a lot of local spots and cuisine. It is billed as one long meal from breakfast in a cafe to lunch at a local restaurant with lots of fun stops in between for various snacks and drinks. Shawn did a great job of peppering in some history of the area that helped round out the experience very well.

This was a wonderful...

This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Especially since everyone in the group had arrived today and were all tired. My favorite part was a couple side quest tours of the old sewers and Albert Einstein's locker. I would recommend this tour as the first thing you do if you're new to Switzerland.

Our tour guide, Daniel,...

Our tour guide, Daniel, was very punctual, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I collect Christmas ornaments from places we travel to, so one of my goals for this tour was to obtain those. My fault for booking the tour on Boxing Day, when only the souvenir store in Vaduz was open. Daniel tried to help us find places, with no luck. And it was a cloudy/foggy day, so we could not do the cable car in Bregenz (we could have chosen, but would not have seen much). Daniel was quick to have an alternate plan. In every location, he never hesitated to snap a photo of my husband and I. This tour was a good mix of locations and time spent in each. We spent the rest of our week in Zurich, so it was nice to get out and see different areas. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Great guided tour - the views are amazing!

Great tour guide - Carsten - a giant personality to match a giant man!! The tour was great - informative along the drives, decent number of breaks. Great views and although you go on three gondolas to get to the top, they all felt safe and secure, even for someone with a fear of heights.

Mt Rigi and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich With Boat Ride

Joseph_S, Jul 2025

Mt. Rigi and Lucerne Excellence.

We had a fantastic tour visiting Mt. Rigi, Lucerne with our Boat ride. Cecilia was a great tour guide and very knowledgable. We loved the bus trip, cable car and cog train parts of the trip and found we had of lot of our own free time to hike and look around on the tour and it was very well timed. The scenery was beautiful on the mountain and also on the boat trip. We thoroughly recommend this trip

Bern Small-Group Day Trip from Zurich Including Cheese Tasting

StephenCornell_W, Jun 2025

Not fit for human consumption.

The guide was great. The cookie company and cheese company products were not what anyone should eat. On the list of killer, habit forming things that should not be eaten. Full of sugar, carbohydrates, highly processed grain, saturated fat and cholesterol. The views from the bus were great. Bern was great except for the bear habitat. Would have been nice if there was time for lunch in Bern. Great photo opportunities in Bern.

Zermatt & Mt. Gornergrat Small Group Day Trip from Zürich

Ronald_G, May 2025

Perfect day in every way!

Two city trains and two cog wheel trains to get to the top of Gornergrat and Michael coordinated it all perfectly. He even ran ahead each time we changed trains to make sure we were able to get a good seat. The multiple train rides were worth it when we arrived at our destination…the top of Gornergrat! What breathtaking beauty! The sun was shining so we had a perfect day to see all the peaks including the Matterhorn. Michael took so many great pictures of us. It was like having our own personal photographer with us! Michael suggested we have lunch on the outside terrace. It was 37 degrees Fahrenheit but with the sun shining, it was perfect to sit outside and enjoy our cheese raclette. From the top of Gornergrat we took the cog wheel train back to Zermatt and spent time visiting all the special spots that Michael was familiar with in Zermatt. Such a perfect day! Seeing the Matterhorn allows me to cross one thing off my bucket list. My husband loved the tour as much as I did. The memories and photos we were able to bring home with us will be treasured for years to come. Our thanks to Michael for a marvelous day!!
