Welcome to the Secret Food Tour in Zurich! Join us as we embark on a culinary adventure through the heart of this vibrant city, where you'll taste your way through the best local spots and discover the authentic flavours of Swiss cuisine.
From mouth-watering cheeses at a local deli, to local spirits and liquors, historic restaurants, street foods and pastries to indulgent chocolates from Switzerland's oldest chocolate shop, we'll guide you through hidden gems and iconic eateries that showcase Zurich's rich food culture.

5.00We behave taken many food tours around the world and this was one of the two best. Teresa, our guide was informative and humorous. The food was phenomenal and plentiful. Make sure you don’t eat much before the tour or you won’t enjoy the complete experience as much.

4.00Teresa was an excellent guide - well versed and knowledgeable in all things zurich. It would have been good to try the traditional fondue experience as they advertised but the tour was good nonetheless. I would have liked bigger portions or at least for dinner, not split among folks.
Solo traveler approved🩷👍

5.00Another must try for solo travelers.. its not only a food tour but you also get to know some of the history of Zurich as you go around the city. They have the best food stops plus the portion of the food that you're gonna get is really worth it. Just come hungry and enjoy the food. 🩷
The Pleasing Taste of Historical Zurich

5.00This was fantastic! Our train to Zurich was 40 minutes late, but we had wonderful communication via WhatsApp with Secret Tours and guide Jolitta to meetup at the 2nd stop of the tour. Jolitta provided interesting history of the centuries old buildings and businesses, with generous tastings, bites, and lunch. This tour is well worth the price and small group size of 12 was delightful. We actually took the morning train from Munich and returned that afternoon, with the sole intention of experiencing this tour….and we are so glad we did!
Great TOUR
