He couldn’t tell us what was good about any of the different chocolates. We would have been better off just going on our own. It was so bad we ended the tour early.”

Upon arrival at the Lindt museum the driver parked and said he had to come inside with us to get our tickets, another red flag. The screen at reception stated the tickets were sold out for the day and the driver took a photo of the screen and excused himself outside to make a phone call.…”

15.Zurich with Cruise and Lindt Home of Chocolate Private tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $511

See Zurich’s main churches with a private guide, enjoy a 25-minute Lake Zurich cruise, and visit Lindt Home of Chocolate. The tour lasts about four to five hours, includes pickup, and is offered in English. Guides such as David and Jonathan have earned praise for their friendly, informative approach, though guide fluency should be confirmed.

“The city tour was ok, the chocolate tour was great (but you can go cheaper). This was a way to do it in one day. Not really worth the price, but not a bad tour. One issue, our tour pick up was moved up an hour earlier with little notice and then the guide showed up 40 minutes earlier than that and sent someone up to try and hurry us up more to start 100 minutes earlier than scheduled! That was not cool.”
