He didn’t offer us water during cheese/chicolate tour and there was only one chair to sit down in store. When we went to bakery, had to sit on a window ledge to eat pastry. This tour was not worth the money . He was late for our tour(he did email and let us know) and left us after tour to get back to hotel. Wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone . Debbie marx”

When I called the provider I was told they couldn’t book me so they moved it to next day. Next day they said they will refund and asked me to go direct with Lindt.

Swiss Chocolate Tasting Experience | Basel - From cacao bean to finished chocolate

Swiss Chocolate Tasting Experience | Basel

14.Swiss Chocolate Tasting Experience | Basel

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 50 reviews · 35 minutes (approx.) · from $25

Meet a chocolate expert at Binningerstrasse 15 for a 35-minute English tasting of six grand cru chocolates, with cacao from different regions. You’ll hear about Swiss chocolate heritage, taste cacao beans and handmade pieces, and return to the same meeting point. The small room suits curious adults and older children best.

“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.”
