Small-group Gruyère cheese and Swiss chocolate day trip from Geneva with hotel pickup, factory tastings, castle views, and HR Giger exhibits.
“This was a great tour. I didn’t realize how far away it was from Geneva (1 hr 45). Our driver was late, which was no problem. However, I felt a bit rushed throughout the tour. That said, our guide/driver was attentive and thoughtful!”
A quick, English-led Swiss cheese tasting in Basel with up to 7 samples, including Gruyère AOP, plus the stories behind Swiss cheese.

“We had a great time in Lausanne with Val - thanks so much for making our trip fun and delicious! The chocolate is the best.”
Small-group Bern day trip from Zurich with Kambly cookie tasting, Emmental cheese tasting, and a guided Old Town walk.
“The guide was great. The cookie company and cheese company products were not what anyone should eat. On the list of killer, habit forming things that should not be eaten. Full of sugar, carbohydrates, highly processed grain, saturated fat and cholesterol. The views from the bus were great. Bern was great except for the bear…”
A 35-minute Swiss chocolate tasting in Basel with six grand cru samples, cacao origin lessons, and expert guidance in English.
“We were squished 12 on a hard wooden bench - the presenter didn’t have much energy as he spoke slowly with long pauses while he decided which chocolate to present next. The chocolate didn’t taste that good and certainly didn’t represent Swiss chocolate. The guy was pleasant and very friendly. But that said, it is…”
Walk Bern’s chocolate history in 2 hours, with tastings (industrial and handmade) and a final Ours de Berne bear at BearPark.
“Félix was a wonderful guide, and has encyclopedic knowledge of the area and its chocolate history. A very enjoyable chocolate walk with delicious samples. Well organized and very thoughtfully arranged!”
A small-group, English-led Zurich beer tour with 8+ 10cl tastings across 3–4 stops in Kreis 4 and 5, no food included.
“The tour wasn’t all that well planned and the guide although knowledgeable about beer excessively talked and didn’t listen well”
Private Lucerne farm tour with Sonnenberg funicular views and local cheese tasting. Friendly guide, small-group pace, English, pickup.
“Dave was an AMAZING tour guide. We didn't know what to expect with this farm tour, but it went beyond our hopes. Walking through local farms, learning about the history of the region and eating delicious cheeses was unique, fun and entertaining. I would give this 6 stars or more if possible. Highly recommend!”
