Nice good tour to get acquainted with the area - I waited to long to write this, I hope I have remembered the name right, our guide was Francois, and it was just my husband and I on this tour, so it was sort of a private tour. We had a lovely time, I’m a vegetarian do Francois had to mix a few things up, but we were full and I couldn’t even finish my hot chocolate, which was possibly the best hot chocolate I have ever had. Fewer stops than done good tours, but hearty portions, and we saw quite a few Geneva highlights while we were at it.

Amazing food tour with local guide - The tour was brilliant, Christophe was very knowledgeable and friendly. The venues we visited were places we would never find on our own and the food was so tasty!

Geneva Food Tour - We had a fantastic time on this food tour in Geneva. The food itself was excellent, with a great variety of local spots we probably wouldn’t have found on our own, but what really made the experience stand out was our tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and added so much historical context as we walked through the city, which made the tour feel like much more than just a food experience.
Between stops, he shared stories about Geneva’s history, architecture, and culture that made the city come alive in a way we hadn’t experienced before. The pacing was perfect, the group size was ideal, and the whole experience felt very personal and well thought out.
Highly recommend for anyone visiting Geneva who wants great food along with a deeper understanding of the city.

Geneva Food Tour - We had a great experience with Robert. We visited a food hall for charcuterie, followed by Fondue at a local restaurant, the best hot chocolate we have ever had and of course chocolate. Robert was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our afternoon

Delightful food journey thru Geneva with knowledgeable guide - Our group of 4 well-traveled college friends had a great time experiencing Geneva through food specialties with our guide Robert. He was an excellent advisor at the food market, helping us to purchase snacks to enjoy later. We absolutely loved the quaint and charming restaurant where on a frigid day we enjoyed delicious cheese fondue (some of the best we have had) and Swiss wine. Then a surprise chocolate stop and finally delicious chocolates at a shop that recently won a grand prize in the annual contest. A bonus to visit with Robert and learn about his interesting background. All in all a delightful day!

Delicious and filling... - Delicious and filling food experience in Geneva with Benjamin. The fondue was a highlight, both the food and the atmosphere. We also enjoyed the “hidden” hot chocolate stop.

Great guide and food! - This tour was great - just us and the guide, Francois. Good amount of food, some walking and exploring. Come hungry! Marketplace for meats, then Fondue, then hot chocolate and finished with more chocolate!!

Food tour with Robert! - Robert was an excellent guide. Not only did we learn a lot about Geneva, local food and history, he also shared personal experiences which we were able to connect to.
10/10 would advise this tour and guide!

Very nice historical and food tour - Nice selection including traditional Swiss Swiss fondue with Gruyère and chasselet as opposed to Savoyard fondue with Beaufort which is a wonderful contrast after a week of French skiing; really enjoyed the anecdotes and details about Switzerland from our guide as well as animated conversation with the other couple on the tour
One note - I mistook the mention of water as being something g to carry with as opposed to offered with the fondue and hot chocolate so I forgot to bring a bottle of water to drink while walking

The food tour provided... - The food tour provided highlights of Geneva along with samples of local food. Our tour guide, Francois, was very friendly and knowledgeable. My only recommendation for improvement would be to change the hot chocolate stop to a food stop. We feel there wasn’t quite enough food to feel full at the end of the tour as the tour description states.
