Swiss Chocolate Walking Tour of Zurich
Description
A Swiss chocolate panorma, tasted over a leisury walk. A mini-tour of Swiss chocolate cultures: chocolatiers from Zurich, Neuchâtel, Lucerne, and Italian-speaking Ticino, side by side. A curated tasting, not a sugar rush. Carefully chosen specialties, each one telling you something about where it comes from. The old town, beyond the postcard. Everyone sees Paradeplatz, Lindenhof, and the Grossmünster. We go further, into quiet squares, Chagall windows, and the alleys where Lenin plotted revolution, Dada poets invented nonsense, and Zwingli launched the Reformation. Led by a real local. Your guide actually lives here, and knows Zurich the way a local does.

Don’t bother booking with his operator because even when you’re at the location, They don’t say anybody here for the chocolate tour. I finally was able to get a hold of somebody 30 minutes after the tour started and he told me that he would give me a refund. I just got notification from Viator that Patric at the chocolate tour would not honor his word. So we ended up getting ripped off. I hope you don’t get ripped off by them too.
Luckily enough I had a tour by myself which is a rarity in itself! Yasi (hoping I’ve spelt him name right) was an awesome guide. It was interesting to find out about the connection and history of chocolate in Switzerland, as well as other historical sites in Zurich. I also got to try chocolate and luxemburgerli (like mini macrons) and it was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this tour when you’re in Zurich.
We really enjoyed the tour! Magdalena was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and entertaining! We got to try plenty of chocolate along the way while learning all about Zürich!
Wonderful tour of Zurich with delicious treats along the way. Stopped at historical sites and learned the rich history of the city.
Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and created a wonderful welcoming environment for all of us in our group. The tour took us all over the old city and we learned a lot about the history of the area while enjoying some delicious chocolate. We highly recommend this tour!
Great tour, Anastasia was an excellent guide. My daughter and I enjoyed all of the chocolate varieties we were able to taste and the history of the chocolate and general Switzerland history was really interesting.
Anastasia was very knowledgeable and engaging, and I enjoyed hearing about the history of Zürich. The stops at the chocolate shops were an added bonus, and the chocolates sampled were delicious!
Fun tour of central Zurich highlights and chocolate shops. Our guide has lots of interesting stories to share and gave us a great introduction to Swiss culture.
Mixed - good guide and interesting tour but shorter than expected and limited chocolate. Group size too big - maybe due to holiday’s
It is mostly a walking tour learning about the history of both Zurich and Switzerland. The chocolate tasting is adding up to the whole experience!
