Great Time in the Swiss Countryside!!
A great, great day in the countryside experiencing authentic Swiss cheese, Swiss chocolate and Swiss wine. The winery owners Patricia and Dennis were precious and over the top welcoming. Our guide Sergio was wonderful, very attentive to detail and delightful to interact with. A day very well spent.

Our tour guide was Alan and we had such an amazing time with him! He made the day so fun and engaging at every step! We learned so much about Switzerland and his hospitality was next level. Highly recommend the company and Alan!

Decadent fun in Switzerland
Viator was very good to work with in organizing the tour including pickup location. Our guide Robert was friendly, informed and overall very helpful in getting us to and into the tour facilities (cheese and chocolate factories were very busy). Wine tasting was in a beautiful location with a very friendly and knowledgeable host.

From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $922 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.
Is From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Zurich: Swiss Cheese, Chocolate & Wine Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zurich Historic District Guided 2-Hour Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zurich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zurich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
