From Bean to Bar: A Must-Do Chocolate Tour for Every Chocoholic - A delightful experience! The chocolate tour took us from cacao bean to final bar, with fascinating insights into the chocolate-making process. We tasted six delicious flavors, each unique, and even got some treats to take home. A must-do for any chocolate lover!

Great - Excellent experience. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It was like I was at home with a friend. Really knew the regional wine and cheese origins and we had a great conversation. Extremely informative. Would do this event again!

Great start to a day in Basel - This was a great little thing to do in Basel. I got to taste great local cheeses - many of which you can’t find elsewhere. For the amount of cheese, time, and explanation provided - I think it should cost more. 🤷‍♀️ Would recommend doing the later option so you can taste wine with cheese.

Cheese and Chocolate - Great Combo - Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable about all things related to cheese. We tasted 6 different types of cheese and then 6 different types of chocolate. The cocoa beans are from different places worldwide but all chocolate was made in Switzerland. Amazing culinary experience.

A must! - Other than the awesome cheese, the chocolates were outstanding too. The lady was also very helpful in giving us tips on public transportation.

Very disappointed - In less than six hours of our schedule the vendor delayed the time of the event. While the time change was for an hour for the first event and a second event delayed 30 minutes it still negatively impacted later plans we had so we missed this event. While on a prior walking tour of the town we walked by the shop. The shop was closed and the shop did not look very reputable so we were very disappointed. This venue seems far below the standards of the other Viator tours we have done.

Paid, no tour given! - We did not get the tour. The person that was going to give us the tour had her child with her and when we arrived a few min late she stormed out and refused to even give a shortened version. She said she has a small child and could not stay. The building that we were to meet at was not marked and therefore made it difficult to find. She was very unprofessional and rude!
