“This is one of the best food tours I have been on---so much delicious and varied food from Switzerland (come hungry), with an amazing 7 stops at speciality food shops and restaurants. The quality of the food was unsurpassed, but what made the tour stand out was the warmth and enthusiasm of our guide, Ioanna.

She made sure everyone on our tour was having an enjoyable experience and she handled all of the logistics flawlessly. She also gave us a lot of other recommendations of place to…”

“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…”
Lavaux wine walking tour from Lutry to Epesses, Cully and Riex, with vineyard lunch, tastings and panoramic views. English.
“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.”
