5.00We had a lovely time with Olivia, our tour guide, for the Chocolate and Old Town tour. She was very knowledgeable about Geneva and surrounding area. Each stop was thoughtfully planned, the stories were interesting and funny. The chocolate shops were beautiful, we loved the Easter eggs and bunnies during our late March visit. Thanks, Olivia!
Wonderful Tour

5.00Came to Geneva for a day trip and found this gem of a tour. Our guide was Ethan and he was incredible. Knowledge and history he shared alongside his welcoming personality was 10/10.
If you think chocolate is mostly the same - you have to take this tour!

5.00Anatoll was fantastic - very personable, knowledgeable and fun! He created an atmosphere of inclusion and welcome. The chocolate - oh just so amazing! The fee was very worth it. At first, three hours seemed like a long time, but it went by quickly. Even though the weather was not ideal (it was snowing!), touring around with frequent stops broke up the walking perfectly. We had 9 people in our group which worked very well, especially for some of the smaller shops. This tour is best for adults/young adults. I don't think it would suit young children as the chocolate is more suitable to an adult palate. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone new to Geneva as it incorporates history, geography and deciousness!

5.00MT was a wonderful and well informed guide, with a host of interesting stories and facts about local history. A good range of chocolate offered, The only slight negative was the amount of walking and some of the steeper paths which elderly or people with disabilities might find more than difficult. A really well planned and delivered experience!
Brilliant experience

5.00Olivia was a fantastic guide. She can make any story super entertaining, especially very interesting ones. The chocolate samples were all amazing, simply out of this world. And store workers were polite & helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves chocolate (and who doesn't?). Grade 10+++
