Lucerne Chocolate Tours: Our Top 12

1.Swiss Chocolate Adventure Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 189 reviews · 30 min · from $23Our pick

At Lucerne’s Swiss Museum of Transport, you ride a chocolate-cube cart through 10 multimedia stops covering cocoa, Swiss chocolate-making, transport, and sales. A multilingual audio guide and chocolate sample are included. The host speaks German, and the attraction is wheelchair accessible.

“Il rapporto qualita' prezzo e' fallimentare. Ci aspettavamo un viaggio entusiasmante all'interno del cioccolato per tutta la sua filiera ma non e' stato cosi'. Si sta seduti su una giostra a forma di tazza che percorre lo spazio di visita. Le informazioni date sul cioccolato sono cose note a tutti e nulla aggiungono alla conoscenza che gia' tutti abbiamo. Persino mia figlia di 11 anni e' rimasta delusa. Una giostra si e' rotta. Percorso dove lo spettatore e' passivo Nessuna interazione. Percorso non immersivo. Deludente e il prezzo altissimo. Meglio visitare le fabbriche di cioccolato.”

2.Lucerne CH Experience: Cheese, Chocolate, Chapel Bridge & Château

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 155 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $198

This small-group Lucerne walk starts near the train station at 1 pm. You’ll taste five Swiss chocolates, three Alpine cheeses, and Swiss wine, then visit Chapel Bridge, the Water Tower, and Lucerne Castle by included elevator. Guides such as Luis, Sarah, and Laszlo add local stories. A one-hour lake cruise is optional.

“The tour itself was interesting and pleasant. Our tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. The reason for the low rating is based on unreasonable cost for what was provided. Chocolate tasting was one stop at store in train station and cheese tasting was minimal at best. A comparable and more robust Viator excursion in Verona was one third of the price. We enjoyed this tour but are still asking ourselves why was the price so high.”

“We had a fabulous time with our guide, Luis! We were the only people to sign up for the chocolate-making/factory portion of the tour and I would say that was one of my favorite parts! We had so much fun learning about chocolate and chatting with Luis along the way. He taught us so much about chocolate, Swiss history, and Swiss culture along the way. And he of course continued to do so throughout the walking portion of our tour as well! We were worried with the rain happening intermittently throughout the day that it would detract from the experience, but Luis did a great job guiding us through the…”
