I got a lot of free chocolate balls and during this time they have a Lindt-themed Christmas market outside with lots of activities to enjoy and more freebies. It was wonderful. Lots of beautiful photo opportunities inside and outside and a store to buy souvenirs and many chocolate variations. Loved everything.”

Guides such as Roger, David, Babis, and Aristotle are praised for clear directions, humor, and local insight.

“Overall a very good excursion. We loved the chocolate factory tour & sampling and enjoyed the Gruyère cheese making & tasting with the lunch. The palace and surrounding village were worthwhile and the train through the mountains into Montreux was lovely as well. Our only negative was that our guide Normand made a few political references to his liking of Trump in America. For American tourists on holiday in Europe and trying to enjoy their vacation, his comments were very uncomfortable & unnecessary for many people in the group.”

Lucerne: Swiss Chocolate Adventure Experience

12.Swiss Chocolate Adventure Experience

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

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.”

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

14.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.”

“This was a great trip overall, but I found our time in Gruyères to have been too short - after having lunch, we found ourselves literally running through the castle to see it and had to completely skip the HR Giger Museum even though we had paid for a combined castle & Giger museum ticket. The guide was great.”
