Spend 3.5 hours walking Zurich’s Old Town with an English-speaking guide such as Toni, Ioanna, Jolita or Shawn.

Come hungry, wear good shoes and bring an umbrella if rain is likely.

“Toni was awesome she really made the tour so good. We had a great group of people in our group which helped as well. Definitely recommending to anyone that goes to Zurich and hopefully they will be lucky enough to get Toni as their guide. Love the cheese shop experience and the shop owner was also another great addition to the tour. 10 out of 10”

2.Gruyère Cheese and Chocolate Tasting Day Trip from Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 99 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $325Top rated

Travel from Geneva in a comfortable, air-conditioned van with guide Gabor, stopping at Maison du Gruyère, Gruyères Castle, the medieval village, and Maison Cailler. You get cheese and chocolate samples, free time for lunch and HR Giger’s museum, plus hotel pickup and drop-off in central Geneva.

“Minus the flat tire that delayed our trip, the experience was decent though rushed since museums closed at 4-5pm and it takes an hour plus to arrive. We were caught in traffic on the way back and missed our dinner reservations. It was nice to see the country side, but I’m not sure I would recommend to a colleague.”
