Delicious, easy, cheap! - It was tasty, easy, delicious and our host was charming. All for a small amount, in a country where everything is expensive. It was great!

Exceptional Cheese Tasting - Our experience was very nice. Jonas is very knowledgeable and had a very good cheese selection for our tasting. His energy is calm, and very welcoming ensuring you learn something new on this tasting. We loved the most because he gave us an amazing knowledge how to shop a good cheese in the store and what to look out for. When in Basel, I highly recommend doing this tour.

Interesting tasting of cheese - We were able to taste a variety of very good cheeses and previously unknown cheeses (e.g. herbal cheese), from which we also bought something afterwards. A lot of background knowledge about cheese production was also provided.

All right! - He explained very well on the subject of Swiss cheese, then we bought 200g of each, you will eat there is not his place, it happens with small pieces of five types of cheese, it is a very intensive class of Swiss cheeses. Excellent
