We went on this tour, and our guide Adriana, was very passionate about telling both the story of chocolate, but also the stories of the different chocolatiers on the tour. It is a nice touch of the tour to be told some of the story of Genève, and see parts of the old part of the city, that you would otherwise not think of visiting, and last but not least, the people that lives there Kind regards Simone and Christoffer Roved
