5.00Our guide, Paul, was wonderful. Great afternoon to see lots of Geneva, including Old Town, with some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Definitely a fun thing to do and worth the price. Fair amount of hills and steps for anyone with mobility issues.
Great chocolate, excellent tour. Isabelle for the win.

5.00Isabelle was fantastic! She is very passionate about the city and the chocolate. You can tell she loves both, and excels at tours. She has a way of keeping everything lively, and engaging. The chocolate was delicious, of course, and it allowed me to discover a few new places to try. I will def recommend to coworkers.
Great experience

5.00We absolutely loved this chocolate walking tour! Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate — you can tell he truly loves what he does. He taught us so much about Geneva’s culture and the fascinating history of chocolate, plus how to truly taste it using all five senses. It completely changed the way I’ll enjoy chocolate from now on! The tour was the perfect mix of storytelling, history, and delicious tastings, with a great balance between learning and exploring. We also had such a fun group with us on our tour. I’ll always remember this experience — it was such a sweet highlight of our trip!
