    Lily was an amazing guide for this tour. She truly loved what she was doing and kept the surprises coming throughout the tour. Felt like I learned so much about how chocolate came to this region as to why the Swiss and French are so good at making chocolate. Be sure to pace yourself. There is a lot of chocolate provided on the tour. I love chocolate, but I have to say I needed to detox for a few days afterward. Highly recommend this tour. Especially if you just have a few hours in Genève. You get a great tour and samples of amazing chocolate.

    This was such a wonderful tour! We got to see a lot of Geneva while learning about the history of both chocolate and Geneva. Victoria (Vicky) was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and so much fun. It was a truly outstanding few hours! A couple of tips, I would ignore the part of the operator instructions that tell you to skip a meal ahead of time. While you are definitely going to get lots of chocolate, you’re also definitely going to want some real food in your stomach first. I would recommend something light but not skipping a whole meal. Also, there are a few of the stores where you (for our tour anyway) get a 10% discount for the next few days. We went to all of the stores on the tour and then went back to our favorites the next day to do our bigger purchases so that we could see all of our options and it worked out really nicely and we still used the discount. Lastly, while you do get to see a whole lot on this tour it definitely is combining Geneva and chocolate history in not a ton of time, so I would say it would likely still be a good idea to plan another tour if your trip allows time! However if I had to choose between a traditional city tour and this, I’d choose this 100 times over. Thank you Vicky for such an incredible experience!

    This was my 2nd time (in 6 months) on this tour and both times I was fortunate to have Lily as my guide. She is excellent! Lily is very knowledgeable, funny, engaging, attentive, and caring. We experienced the absolute best of chocolate that Geneva has to offer and learned a lot about the history of chocolate and the role that Geneva & Switzerland played in it. I highly recommend this tour.

    So many beautiful and unique chocolate shops! Lily did such a great job of making sure we had enough chocolate, history, and walking to see all the sites.
