5.00Our tour guide Jolita was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took us to so many small places that we would not have found on our own. Every piece of food and drink was delicious.

5.00We enjoyed a terrific morning with Jolita on our food tour. She gave us insights into Swiss food and culture, introduced us to shops (to which we later returned), and gave us a lens through which to appreciate our time in Zurich. We covered a lot of ground but were not rushed; and we ate abundantly (do not miss the sausage! ) Highly recommend.
Awesome tour, worth it!
