Wouldn’t have missed tasting Lindt chocolate in Switzerland! Our guide got us museum tickets and made sure we knew how to get back on our own. Very nice lady, but not especially memorable. Loved the chocolate experience, but this tour didn’t stand out.

pretty good. it comes with a day transportation pass and we got to spend our time at the Lindt chocolate factory at our own time. Wonderful tour and cruise!

Super fun !! And so interesting !! Such good value for money !! I highly recommend !!

The guide was wonderful and knowledgeable, the chocolate factory is a ton of fun too.

The tour through the city could have been longer. The chocolate factory was a dream.
