It’s only about 30 minutes, but it’s very informative. John explained the different regions where the cheeses we tasted came from and told us about the different farmers and a bit of the process. We also had the opportunity to purchase some of the yummy cheeses we tasted. John answered questions from the group and did a great job. Highly recommend!

Overall a very poor experience. No one showed up at the time planned, even after myself and another person that had waited over half an hour after the booked time, tried to get in contact there was no answer. Waste of time.

Very informative information about cheese making process, regions, and types of cheese. Host was welcoming and knowledgeable. Cheese was delicious!

Our tour was scheduled over six months ago. Voator and the cheese shop had different times. It all worked out. We just made two trips to the meeting place. The cheese was fantastic and the tour was enjoyable. We bought cheese to take with us.

It was tasty, easy, delicious and our host was charming. All for a small amount, in a country where everything is expensive. It was great!

Excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable host in a relaxed and intimate setting made this a unique experience with a good variety of cheeses to taste.

No one showed up to do the tasting. The store had a closed sign on the door. I have requested a refund
Response from Host, Dec 2024
We are sorry to hear that you arrived and the tasting location was closed. Upon checking, we had advised Viator, where you booked this experience, that it is not operating on this particular day.
The best is to always reach out to us at booking@tours-of-switzerland.com - This allows for better communication and no miscommunications either. You are also welcome to join the same tasting on a different day
We wish you happy holidays and safe travels!

In less than six hours of our schedule the vendor delayed the time of the event. While the time change was for an hour for the first event and a second event delayed 30 minutes it still negatively impacted later plans we had so we missed this event.
While on a prior walking tour of the town we walked by the shop. The shop was closed and the shop did not look very reputable so we were very disappointed. This venue seems far below the standards of the other Viator tours we have done.

Other than the awesome cheese, the chocolates were outstanding too. The lady was also very helpful in giving us tips on public transportation.

There were so many cheeses to try. The owner was very nice and knowledgeable. The price was excellent!
