✨**Who books our Detours experiences?**✨

It’s one of the questions we get most often:
“Are your clients tourists? How do they find you?” 👀

And this is exactly where we differ from traditional tour companies.

Our experiences are designed just as much for TRAVELERS 🌍 as they are for LOCALS.

We connect you with the local community - and introduce you to the people of who lead inspiring initiatives and make a positive impact in our city. 💚

Depending on who you are, you might find us:
🏡 in your own neighborhood
🚞 during a weekend visit to Zürich
👏 through a meaningful team-building activity

If you’re already here and this resonates with you, stay a while. 😉
Let’s reimagine what tourism can feel like - together.

Tourism is often about traveling far, but what if the most inspiring journeys don’t require distance? 🌍✨

We believe transformation doesn’t always come from crossing borders - it can happen when you take a fresh look at your own surroundings. Your neighborhood holds untold stories, and your community is a source of inspiration. Change comes from within - ourselves, our immediate environment, and only then can it grow beyond any borders.

A little curiosity, creativity, and the right guidance can unlock incredible encounters.

Are you ready to see your own backyard through new eyes? 👀✨ We’re here to help with that. :)

Every bite of chocolate has a story behind..

What if the cocoa beans could speak and tell us theirs? 🌍✨

From cocoa farms to finished bars, the journey is often unfair to those who grow it. By understanding the cocoa value chain, we can make better choices that support ethical chocolate production and promote responsible practices.

Join our Ethical Chocolate Tour to meet local changemakers, learn the complex history behind chocolate, and enjoy it in a conscious way.

Almost every day, we wake up to news that makes us question, “Is this really happening?”
•
The effects of climate change are undeniable (look at the cocoa sector, for example), along with injustice, social inequalities, wars, and people in power who put profits first - and there is no Planet B.
•
So, what’s left to keep us from feeling hopeless? We must take this energy, get active, speak up, and use our voices - in our own communities, in our own spheres of influence. 💚
•
Tourism provides the perfect platform for this. When people travel, they open their minds to new experiences. What once felt foreign becomes exciting, and with that openness comes the opportunity to inspire meaningful change in habits and behaviors. That’s where we believe we can make a difference. ☀️
•
This is our form of activism through tourism - showcasing local solutions to global challenges and encouraging openness to new ideas and a more conscious approach to life. We need systemic change, and tourism can be part of that transformation.
•
So, let’s begin by using our voices - let’s get louder and lauder - TOGETHER! 🫶

One of our favorite moments? ✨

Watching our guests connect with inspiring locals and dive into hands-on experiences.

Whether it’s uncovering hidden cocoa stories or making your own chocolate, it’s all about exploring with curiosity and purpose 😊

As we like to say: The best adventures aren’t just seen—they’re felt. 💛
