We will continue with an exciting tour through the world of chocolate! You'll journey back to the origins of chocolate and experience how cocoa conquered Europe. You'll meet the Swiss chocolate pioneers who changed – or at least “sweetened” – our lives with their inventions. Marvel at all the work it takes to transform cocoa beans into melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. Follow the chocolate manufacturing process in the Lindt modern test facilities. And find out just how irresistible Swiss chocolate is for you with unlimited tasting included.

Better than expected!
Amazing day! So much included in the price! Was definitely worth it, and being on the water mid tour was so beautiful and relaxing. Gregory was a great tour guide.

Endless Chocolate
Clearly described meeting point and very prompt guide. There are hills and cobblestone streets in Old Town. Make sure you have had lunch before the tour begins; although you can buy snacks on the boat. Also bring multiple layers for walking and breeze/wind on boat. Walking tour was very informative and interesting and well paced. The guide got us to the boat in plenty of time for any option of seating! Very relaxing boat ride after the walking tour. There are free lockers at Lindt for coats and backpacks. The Lindt tour self guided audio, at your own pace. The Lindt tour was great! You do have to find your way back to Zurich but the guide gives you excellent guidance and it went very smoothly for us! Overall a very fun tour!

LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking Tour?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does LINDT Home of Chocolate, Cruise On Lake Zurich And Old Town Walking 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.
