Personalised tasting session ☺️ - Interesting tasting session with a knowledgable guide. Good selection of chocolates to try (and buy to take home). Ended up being the only person on my tasting session, so it felt extra special!

Chocolate and Cheese - 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.

Do not miss this small group experience!! - This is a small family run shoppe. I loved it. They keep the groups small and the tasting was very informative. I will never buy "American" white chocolate again. As the ones we tasted there were amazing. It takes about 30 minutes and you will leave with a new appreciation of chocolate. This is inside a small store front, next to a take -way food place. Do not miss it! Also the cheeses there were amazing as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Don't Expect Sympathy Even After Death - My mom and I were really excited for this tour until her dad suddenly passed away hours before, and we didn't know what to do. I canceled the rest of our flights and hotels and asked to get this tour refunded as well. They said no and that they could've just moved the tour to another day for us. What an awful and strange response. I'm glad this wasn't an experience we had paid tons for, but a heads-up to be aware of the people behind it. If the guides are anything like them, the only tasting you'll get on this tour are of their sour and salty attitudes.
