    Adriana was fantastic! Truly! She gave us a great tour, a little history of Geneva, and of course Chocolate! I would recommend this to any traveler spending a day in Geneva! A must do! She even spoke to a younger traveler in her native tongue because she wasn’t fluent in English, which I thought was above! It was a mixed group with all ages, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

    Tour was terrific! Aldriana was friendly, knowledgeable; informative and very passionate about her chocolate and gave us more than enough tasty samples from Geneva's best chocolatiers. We learned about the city too and her being multilingual added to the tour! Highly recommended her and this tour!

    We had a great tour with Regina. The tour covers the history of chocolate, Geneva’s role in that and some highlights of the old town. The chocolate pit stops are well spaced in the tour and the walking part of it is at a nice pace. Thanks so much Regina for your insightful tour and enthusiasm, especially when you had to contend with all the runners in the old town and keeping the group together!

    We had a great tour. Regina our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Loved the different shops we visited as long as a visit to the old town! The tour explains the history of chocolate and Geneva. A good walk at a nice pace in between chocolate stops and a little trip across the lake!
