    All in one

    Great chocolates and history of the Geneva old town. I felt like we hit all of the Geneva highlights in one fell swoop.
    Best tour of Geneva
    Neera_G, Jan 2023
    I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, despite it happening in the torrential rain. It was the best part of my trip to Geneva and I wish I had done it earlier. Anna, the tour guide, gave us so many chocolates that were exquisite. She not only gave us the history of chocolate and Geneva, but provided insight into Geneva monuments and tour attractions. I learnt more on this tour than I did on other sight seeing tours. Ensure you wear comfortable shoes and are able to walk as well as carry water as there are a lot of chocolates. Discount was also provided for the chocolatier shops we visited which was great. Please do this tour, you will not regret it!
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Hi Neera, Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm really happy to know you like the tour despite the rain, I also had a lot of fun with you guys despite the weather! Great to know you liked the chocolates! Greetings from Geneva. Anna from Local Flavours Tours
    Mote than "just" a chocolate tour!
    Gregory_B, Jan 2023
    Our guide was very knowledgeable, interesting and fun! This tour was much more than "just a chocolate tour". The walking route was interesting and the boat ride was a great experience too. We loved each shop.
    Best tour in Geneva!
    Paulo_F, Dec 2022
    Didi and her amazing personality and professionalism made what could’ve been a pretty bad experience our best (by far) tour in Geneva. We literally did this entire walking tour under a chilly, raining weather…but that didn’t take Didi out of her game at all, she as always super motivated, always interacting with the group, had loads of information on every stop we made and was able to answer everyone’s questions without any hesitation. I strongly recommend this tour, but make sure to ask for Didi as your guide!
    Response from Host, Dec 2022
    Hi Paulo, thank you so much for these beautiful words. It makes me really happy to read that you appreciated this chocolate tour in Geneva so much, despite the weather conditions ! Safe travels back home to you and Ingrid, Didi from Local Flavours Tours.
