5.00Our guide Ethan was 10* Felt like we were on a tour with a dear friend. He catered to all the group and looked after our needs while spoiling us with fantastic chocolates and shopping choices and expert history of the town. I was sad when the tour ended.

5.00We enjoyed the chocolate tour with Marie very much. She took us all around Geneva, giving some history of the town and of Switzerland as we went to 6 different chocolate shops. There were a variety of offerings (hot chocolate, chocolate cake with different layers and a variety of chocolates). We highly recommend this tour and the tour guide, Marie (MT)!

5.00We were a group of seven—just the perfect number. We had a wonderful time with our guide, Anatole, a true Genevan, who shared fascinating insights into both chocolate and the city’s history. The tour led us to several award-winning chocolate shops and offered a delightful blend of discovery and indulgence. A truly enjoyable way to spend three hours learning more about Geneva.

5.00We had the most wonderful time on this chocolate and history tour with our guide, Olivia. From the very beginning, she made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, blending her deep knowledge of Geneva’s history with her infectious enthusiasm for Swiss chocolate. Each stop was beautifully curated — not just for the incredible variety of chocolates we sampled, but for the fascinating stories and local insights Olivia shared along the way. Her storytelling brought the Old Town to life, and the gentle pace of the walk allowed us to truly savor both the flavors and the scenery. The short boat ride across the lake was the perfect finishing touch — peaceful, scenic, and memorable. Thank you, Olivia, for your warmth, humor, and passion. You made this experience one of the highlights of our time in Geneva! Highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves chocolate, culture, and great company.
