5.00It was incredible! The tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable. This tour was one he created and it was very well planned and so very interesting. The food, of course, was top notch. The meeting location was easy to find and we felt very comfortable with the walking tour.

5.00Fabulous tour with Teresa! Personality plus, she made the tour engaging for all ages. The tour had lots of different foods to try (much more than I expected) and took us throughout the old town, with Teresa providing us part of the history of Zurich. Food here is not cheap and that is reflected in the tour price. Well worth it.
Wonderful time

5.00Jolita was well prepared for our tour, which turned out to be a group of 13. She walked us up and through the Old Town “gasses” (local alleyways) indicating points of interest (including historical as well as gastronomic), and we got to taste some of the best food and restaurants of Zürich (and Switzerland). She even took great care to attend to the varied dietary requirements of the individuals in the group, and although the tour took more than 3 hours, the time never dragged; it was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
Eating our way through Zurich

5.00Jolita was a lovely guide, very informative and took us to some great places for food and drink. We were two couples along with seven other guests so a comfortable number for enjoying what Jolita had in store for us. We loved the cheese shop and the restaurant meal.
Great way to see and eat your way through Zürich.

5.00This tour has a great variety of food to try! We had sausage, fondue, a variety of chocolates and got to start the day with a traditional Swiss breakfast (our tour was at 10:30am). Our guide Jolita shared information about the city, each place we stopped and the food itself. This was a well organized and fun way to spend our first morning in Zurich!
Great time with Jolita
