About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ania M0 contributionsFantastic family bussinessFantastic experience. Great selection of unique and original cheeses from local farmers. We loved the stories behind each of them. We were able to purchase our favourite cheese as shop provided vacuum packing that allow us to travel with them.Written 8 January 2025
- stevewE7765WV0 contributionsGreat tour, poor communication priorOur tour was fantastic and our guide Lucas was awesome. Taught us so much about cheese & chocolate (who knew!) and showed us some great sights in town. Highly recommend. The company this was through however let us down with their poor communication, they changed the booking time without notifying us, leading to some tense moments (hours) while we tried to resolve. The local Information Centre got involved and were very helpful, and did also make the comment that the communication from the tour organisation had dropped and as a result they weren't recommending them anymore. Book this tour, but I'd recommend you reconfirm prior about the date and time. Lucas and his tour though, were excellent.Written 7 January 2025
- Sarah S0 contributionsdon't recommendI recently attended a chocolate tasting "tour" that left me thoroughly disappointed and frustrated. The tasting consisted of six pieces of store-bought chocolate, which was a major letdown right from the start. The host herself openly admitted that the chocolates were not handmade or special in anyway, which completely undermined the whole experience. When we arrived there were no signage or indication that we were sampling something as basic as store-bought chocolate. To make matters worse, the owners of the establishment brought their child along, which was highly unprofessional as am sure there would be able to hire a babysitter due to the amount of customers they are scamming. This was not what we signed up for, and I would not recommend this tasting to anyone looking for a genuine chocolate experience.Written 3 January 2025
- 83jond0 contributionsGreat day tripRose was an excellent private guide. She was very knowledgeable, informative and lots of fun. This tour involves a lot of train travel as we started from Basel, but the ride on the Glacier Express and tour of Lucern were worth it. Great fun!Written 31 December 2024
- Valaka980 contributionsAmazing Tour and Awesome Tour GuideExcellent tour with an awesome tour guide. It was easy to do and very nicely put together. Our tour guide, Rose💕, was amazing! She was friendly, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and so very nice! It was a pleasure spending the day with her! She also made sure each of us was ok and accounted for. So thankful for her! Rose is the best! The tour was wonderful!!Written 28 December 2024
- N6895UTjulief0 contributionsSolid tour of Basel with tastingsOur tour guide was knowledgeable and professional, and able to answer all our questions. She provided us with lots of information about Basel and made some recommendations as to where to eat and sites to visit. There was some confusion at the pastry shop, but the company was very responsive to us. The cheese and chocolate shop is run by a young couple that really know their stuff. And we enjoyed that tasting immensely. Guide met us at our hotel and then navigated us back to a location of our choice.Written 21 December 2024
- Y4297JAjond0 contributionsScam event, nothing to see here.Absolute joke, we arrived at the venue to be told there wasn't an event. No communication before or after. They are liars.Written 21 December 2024
- 707robw0 contributionsEnjoyable good value experienceA great 40 mins of information and chocolate tasting by a v knowledgeable nice chap We made the error of following the address as opposed to shop name. There is a similar road name about 15 mins away we went to first !Written 16 December 2024
- 595stephaniej0 contributionsA wonderful experienceOur tour guide, Jonas, was exceptional. He was kind and professional, and made sure everyone in our group was looked after. He highlighted all of the important information about our tour stops.Written 15 December 2024
- Goran57170 contributionsTour with JonasJonas gave us an amazing tour!! He was very knowledgeable of the city, friendly, and passionate about guiding and sharing his knowledge with others - especially his knowledge of cheese, chocolate, and pastries! We found some local places we would have never known about if it wasn’t for Jonas and truly enjoyed the entire tour. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him! Our only complaint was with the process from Tours of Switzerland who canceled our original reservation less than 24 hours before and had us scrambling to reschedule. But that of course doesn’t have anything to do with the incredible tour from Jonas!Written 15 December 2024
- rachelcR1620YJ0 contributionsTotal Rip OffTotal waste of money!!! squeezed 18 people into a tiny room with a broken up block of chocolate to taste - save yourself and just buy a block of chocolate from the supermarket….. Rude staff, total rip offWritten 10 December 2024
- Relax027989127950 contributionsThey last minute canceledThe evening before the tour at 11pm they sent a txt saying the time had changed 1.5 hours earlier. Since it was late I didn’t get until the morning and it was too late to change our plans but then at 8:45 I received a we’ve canceled this tour email. Felt like since we booked on TripAdvisor and it was cheaper than through them directly that prompted the cancellation.Written 7 December 2024
- 478cs0 contributionsCheese please!🧀We learned so much about cheese making and tasting! Thank you for the new vocabulary and education! We all enjoyed the variety of cheeses you presented and will recommend your tour to others.Written 5 December 2024
- GoPlaces6700560 contributionsReally delucious!This was a presentation in a local shop by the shop owner. He was very knowledgeable about the making of chocolate from the cocoa bean to the final product. We learned so much about the sources of cocoa beans to the history of chocolate to the differences in the different types of chocolate. We tasted at least 8 different chocolates. Although he had chocolate bars for sale in his shop, there was no obligation or pressure to buy. Overall, a great experience! Who doesn't love chocolate!Written 3 December 2024
- GoPlaces6700560 contributionsInteresting and deliciousThis was such an interesting and delicious experience. We learned how cheese was made and the types of cheese that are made in Switzerland . We got to taste a wide variety of different cheeses. The shop owner presented material in a very easy to understand manner. We thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. Great value for the price.Written 3 December 2024
