Amazing food tour

5.00This was one of the highlights of my trip to Switzerland. The food itself was fantastic- everything from the traditional Bircher muesli and Zürich-style sausage to the rösti, local cheeses, chocolates, Tirggel biscuits, and Swiss spirits. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and offered a unique taste of Swiss and Zürich culture. What truly made the tour special, however, was our guide, Ionna. She struck the perfect balance between food, history, and storytelling. At each stop she shared interesting historical context, local traditions, and fun facts that brought the city to life in a way that would have been impossible to experience on my own. Beyond her knowledge, Ionna’s warmth, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with everyone in the group made the tour feel personal and welcoming from start to finish. She clearly loves Zürich and genuinely enjoys sharing it with visitors, and that passion shines through.
