The guide was amazing. She really knew her stuff and the added little titbits she told on the way made the walking tour superb.

This is a nice 2 hours walk around old town, learning about the history/culture of Zurich, and tasting chocolate from 4 very nice stores. Bring water or some drink! The chocolate was really good but you can only have so much before you need to wash it down with something. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

This was a nice tour both for the information about the city as well as hitting the chocolate shops! Our guide Daniel was knowledgeable and enjoyable. We did quite a bit of walking and it was a bit rushed. Definitely worth taking for a variety of reasons.

Nothing against the tour guide and good information that he provided, but I think the name of the tour is very misleading. We expected mostly chocolate sampling with some city tour mixed in and there was very little of that. It was basically a city tour with 3 stops to try some chocolate samples. We would have been better off doing the free city tour and hitting chocolate stores on our own.

Emre was a great tour guide. He knew the city very well and definitely let us indulge on the sweets! You are outside the entire time walking so wear comfy shoes and wear layers.

Our guide Victoria was wonderful. She engaged the group immediately to get to know us as individuals and to tell something about ourselves. She was constantly weaving Swiss history into the tour as we walked from one chocolate locale to the next. She answered all our questions and we were an inquisitive group. As we concluded our tour, sitting at a table, sipping hot chocolate, we all shared our thoughts about the tour and what we learned. We were from different countries and different backgrounds, but for a short time, we were able to enjoy the moment on the same level. The macarons, truffles and hot chocolate were delicious, too! o the next

Our guide was great - a grad in history, lots of good stories and really personable. The chocolate bit breaks up the tour - not a necessity but still lovely. Really enjoyed it and wouldn't have seen as much of the city without it would never have thought of venturing up those alleys/steps...really enjoyable few hours.
