“I enjoyed the food at Kiara. It was amazing and the staff were friendly. The organic shop was true to it nature and can only hope most shop could use it blue print to sustainability Never go to Jakob's Basler Leckerly Spalenberg 26, 4051. The traditional spice cakes dry and the shop asisistance took them from her bag that was mixed with her clothes. She was rude, called me name and claimed that the voucher was fuck. She gave a different account to the main store and when l finally called the Basel tourism board, she gave a different account of the event. My only regret is stomach problem(diarrhea) since…”

“Tour with Ben was interesting while short on food knowledge, it was long on history politics, and culture.”
Taste Zurich through muesli, sausage, cheese, rösti, fondue, local wine, spirits, and chocolate on a three-hour small-group walk.
“This was a great way to experience the food scene of Zürich, and taste all the delicacies that the city/country has to offer. Toni was super lovely and informative and gave us so many little tidbits about the Switzerland that helped us gain a full picture of what we were eating. Highlight was definitely Chäs Chäller (the cheese store), we could’ve stayed there and eaten cheese for days (so glad I bought some to take home)! Thanks again, Toni for a wonderful tour!”

Taste Lausanne through rösti, Vaud cheeses, pastries, chocolate, and local stories on a 3.5-hour walking food tour.
“Our food tour in Lausanne was absolutely phenomenal — easily one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland! From start to finish, the experience was perfectly curated, balancing delicious bites, local stories, and hidden gems that we never would’ve found on our own. Each stop offered something unique — from artisanal cheeses and freshly baked pastries to traditional Swiss chocolates. Chris was engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the city’s food culture and history. The pace was relaxed, the portions generous, and the setting — winding through Lausanne’s charming streets and markets — made it all the more memorable. By the end, we felt like we’d truly experienced the…”
Taste Basel through Swiss cheeses, chocolate, pastries, and spice biscuits while exploring the city with a private English-speaking guide.

Walk Lavaux’s UNESCO vineyards from Cully to Epesses, with Swiss wines, a two-course vineyard lunch, village stories, and panoramic views.
“A great opportunity to sample little know Swiss wines and learn about the climate and ‘valleys’ of Lavaux. If you can, get Marc for the guide. He is a great story teller, absolutely knows the people, region and wines, and has an interesting background hailing from New Zealand. A great guy and foot tour guide. Make sure you sip the 1887 Vermouth. This is a great afternoon excursion with a good lunch and plenty of wine.”
Pick a summit, a lake or a factory.
