Exploring Bern with Felix was a blast! I loved how the narrative of the tour was structured. We strolled to notable places and sampled chocolate that corresponded to where we were in the story! I discovered such a rich chocolate story in Bern that I would never have unearthed otherwise. Felix was a kind, lively, and wonderful guide. He even offered to take pictures of me around town, since I was on a solo trip. TL;DR: If you love chocolate, book this tour!! You’ll leave absolutely satisfied and with lots of new facts about how chocolate got its start in Bern.

The infectious excitement for chocolate and chocolate history was palpable. This was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. Tons of chocolate tastings and extras and so much rich history.

Full description

Was Bern once a Chocolate Capital? Meeting point is at the Kaefigturm (Prison Tower) on the Baerenplatz (Bear's Square) and the end is around 2 hours later at the Baerenpark/Baerengraben (Bear Park/Pit). On the walk, you will learn about Bern's exciting chocolate history by being guided through the old town to the places where the famous chocolate makers really left their traces. Various chocolate samples will sweeten your journey. You will also be introduced to the secret behind the melting chocolate, which was invented in Bern and became popular worldwide. However, since not only modern chocolate has its roots in Bern, but also the tour guide, he will certainly have more insider tips for you along the way. Although the walk takes place outdoors, it can also be completed in bad weather thanks to the protective arcades of Bern's Old Town. But whether the Swiss Federal City really was a Chocolate Capital or whether this claim is just marketing is ultimately up to you to decide! Important note: No chocolate factory will be visited on this tour.

Includes

  • Bernese chocolates such as Toblerone, Ovaltine/Ovomaltine, Lindt and others /
  • a tasting box with artisanal chocolate / seasonal food surprise / chocolate history and general historical facts about Bern and finally a 2-hour outdoor activity without weather restrictions.
