★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 120 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $40

Walk Zurich’s Old Town with a local guide and sample Swiss chocolate at Sprüngli, Lindt, Max, and Teuscher, plus key city sights.

“An interesting combo of city tour combined with the background and sampling of three of the most popular Swiss chocolatiers of Zurich. We got information on the city (present and past) and got to try the specialty of each of the three stores. Our guide was very friendly. With the noise of the traffic it was at times hard to understand. The information we got was interesting but a bit dry. A portion of humor would have lifted the group's spirit.”

Gruyère and Cailler day trip from Geneva with guided cheese and chocolate tastings, HR Giger at the castle, and hotel pickup.

“Gabor was excellent and provided just enough detail. The cheese factory was awesome and so was everything about Gruyere! The Chocolate Factory visit a little disappointing but the samples were plentiful and fun! It was a lovely day and scenery stunning! Wish a bit more of the day would have been closer to the lake rather than heavily congested freeways but I realize that would extend timing. Overall a delightful way to spend the day and highly recommend.”

So quite an expensive option to get there, but can be the only way to get a ticket when all other options are sold out. However the car was very posh and the tour is excellent well worth the visit.”

15.Swiss Chocolate Adventure at Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 60 reviews · 30 minutes (approx.) · from $23

A 30-minute multimedia chocolate ride at Lucerne’s Swiss Museum of Transport, with a cube-car, 10 stops, and free Swiss chocolate.

“A lot of information but not a lot of fun. The automated 'cars' take you into cylindrical rooms where you learn about the how chocolate is made. Having been to Cadburys World we didn't feel we learnt a lot. I'd have been interested in learning more about how they picked different flavours, researched new ideas etc. The space wa well used but felt a little sparse outside of the rooms. Staff were very friendly though and tried to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.”
