A group of chocolate tour participants stroll through the streets at dusk, with the sunset providing a warm and inviting backdrop. There is an atmosphere of shared exploration and anticipation of sweet discoveries.
A beaming man in red points down from a viewing platform to a charming old town. The sun is shining, and his posture and smile communicate joy and enthusiasm, typical of an entertaining chocolate tour.

Chocolate Tours

Who could imagine a better theme for a tour of the old town than "Schoggi" (chocolate)? A delightful journey of discovery through the federal city takes groups from the Käfigturm tower down to Bern's Matte neighbourhood.

Useful information

  • City of Bern

The tour follows along the footsteps of the chocolate manufacturers in the old town, walking you from the Käfigturm to the legendary Mattequartier. On the way, you will be enjoying various chocolate samples to enrich the stories told. At the end of the tour, you will hear the Bernese version of the story about melting chocolate which means you will be privy to the secret from the Matte. But afterwards, it’s the group that will have to decide if the city of Bern really is the chocolate capital or if that was just smart marketing.

Thanks to the arcades in the old town, the tours can take place regardless of the weather. Nevertheless, outdoor clothing and comfortable shoes are recommended.

In winter, warm drinks are served on the tour, and in summer, gelati will help you cool down. Other food combinations are also available on request.

Groups of up to 49 people can be accommodated if you hire a headset system.

You can also book the Bernese Chocolate Story for an event at any location – not as a tour, but a presentation, chocolate tasting included.
