Swiss Chocolate Walking Tour of Zurich

4.5
(121 reviews)
Zurich, Switzerland

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

A Swiss chocolate panorma, tasted over a leisury walk. A mini-tour of Swiss chocolate cultures: chocolatiers from Zurich, Neuchâtel, Lucerne, and Italian-speaking Ticino, side by side.
A curated tasting, not a sugar rush. Carefully chosen specialties, each one telling you something about where it comes from.

The old town, beyond the postcard. Everyone sees Paradeplatz, Lindenhof, and the Grossmünster. We go further, into quiet squares, Chagall windows, and the alleys where Lenin plotted revolution, Dada poets invented nonsense, and Zwingli launched the Reformation.

Led by a real local. Your guide actually lives here, and knows Zurich the way a local does.
