My wife and I had an incredible time on this chocolate tour—it was the highlight of our trip! Isabel was a fantastic tour guide!! I can’t say enough great things about her; she made the history and the city truly come alive. 👍🏽 The Highlights: * Indulgent Treats: We visited several amazing shops, but the rich hot chocolate and eating chocolate eclairs on top of the castle walls were unforgettable. * History & Sights: Breaking the traditional chocolate pot to celebrate the "Escalade" history was so unique. We also loved the short walk through the Geneva Christmas market and seeing the iconic fountain in the lake—absolutely beautiful! If you want a perfect mix of world-class chocolate and local culture, this tour is a must. Huge thanks to Isabel for a perfect afternoon!

The Chocolate and Old town tour was fantastic! There was a lovely Christmassy vibe. Easy to find meeting point and our guide was there to meet us. Isabelle was our guide, she was brilliant. Very welcoming, very knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed the tour from start to finish, sampling lots of different chocolate from different shops. We saw lots of sites and learnt lots of new facts! I would really recommend this!

We absolutely loved the tour, Isabelle was amazing, knowledgable and very enthusiastic about Genève and Chocolate!!!!!! We had chocolate drink, chocolate bars and chocolate cake! If I had more time I would do the tour again. Time and money well spent.

A lovely way to taste your way through Geneva! 3 hours with excellent guide Olivia flew by and, while it may be impossible to have too much chocolate, it was nearly enough! Also, a good option to include if you have the Geneva Pass (20% discount).
Veronica
Absolutely amazing experience! Getting to see Geneva through the eyes of a local was such a unique and enriching way to discover the city. And if that wasn't enough, you get to taste delicious Swiss chocolate along the way! 🍫😍 It's the perfect mix of culture, stories, and sweet treats—all while exploring this charming lakeside gem. Victoria is incredibly knowledgeable, and the way she connected with us made the whole tour feel personal and fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I get the chance! 🥰
