5.00This was our first Secret Food Tour and it far exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Georgia, was terrific. She obviously loves sharing her knowledge and insights into the local culture, history and cuisine. The tour itself included a variety of venues and tastings - local dishes/specialities, cheeses, sweets and spirits. And at each stop along our tour, Georgia explained the significance of what we were trying and history of the venue itself. My wife and I had made a list of foods and places we wanted to visit and try before coming to Zurich and to our great surprise, this tour hit them all! Unlike many tours my wife and I have been on, we never felt rushed on this tour. Georgia encouraged us to relax and gave us some free time at each stop to sit and chat amongst ourselves, look at things and shop if we were so inclined. She also adjusted her pace to suit everyone in the group. Based upon our experience on this tour, my wife and I will certainly consider booking additional Secret Food Tours in our future travels.
Recommend this tour!
