          Five stars for this walking tour
          The tour kicked off by striding through the city, surrounded by breathtaking views of iconic architecture, including the majestic United Nations building. The way the guide recounted stories behind the Red Cross and its international impact was genuinely inspiring. Five stars for this walking tour.

          The tour guide talked about its 2000 years of history
          This guided tour of the Old Town in Geneva was memorable one. The tour guide took us through its narrow streets and alleyways and talked about its 2000 years of history. We sipped some coffee and savored a selection of local pastries by the side of square, where there are medieval fountains. The tour also covered other landmarks of Old Town Geneva. Great for memories.

        Who doesn't like treasure hunting? Choco pass Geneva is one variation of that but instead of treasure you get taste packs with chocolates and the owner will tell you some history and how his chocolate is different from others. It costs only 30 swiss francs, covers 10 shops and valid 24 hours (can do it in 2 days) with a 20% discount, if you will buy something else.
        The best: Du Rhône Chocolatier SA
        In my opinion this is the best chocolate boutique in centre Geneva. Knowledgeable, welcoming and extremely polite chocolatiers offered delusions and a diverse assortment of their creations. To improve the quality of their products, they paid attention not only to classic recipes but arranged exclusive cocoa-bean supply and created new recipes. In addition, their coffee is what you want to have every morning and don’t want to change. We met at this shop with a choco pass but came back the next day again in spite of the fact that we tested chocolate from different chocolatiers. Thank you for your great work!!!!
        The worst: Chocolat Favarger - Boutique Rive
        I was completely ignored by the grey hair s/assistant because I asked about my choco pass in English. My friend comforted me that maybe she doesn’t speak English. To my surprise, when everyone in the store even who came after me was served, she started conversation with me in average English. I got my testing pack, but she said that something was missing and asked me to wait a second. My heart was warmed up, I's finally showed some care. However, for my surprise she offered supposed to be my missing sweets to test everyone in store and I was again forgotten and last in line. If this store served only French speaking customers, why was it included and recommended as international? Avoid it if you don’t speak French!!!!!!
        Charlie Ganache chocolatier
        Delusions chocolate, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Very recommended.
        Enjoy your tour!!!!

        My taste buds got tantalized by cheese and chocolate. The chocolate factory La Maison Cailler was a mouth-watering experience. The La Maison du Gruyeres cheese factory got me to see some secrets of cheese making. The tour guide made us to indulge our sweet tooth by tasting lots of delicious Swiss cheese. I also bought some artisan products at the Marche Gruerien market. We enjoyed this tour.
