Discover the magic of Zurich on an adventure designed to let you experience the city like a local.
We begin with a guided walking tour through Zurich’s charming Old Town.
After a quick lunch we glide across the sparkling waters on a scenic ferry ride on Lake Zurich. Sit back, relax, and take in postcard-perfect views of the city skyline, and on clear days—the majestic Alps in the distance.
The journey continues as we head toward one of Zurich’s local “little mountain”, where a short cable car ride lifts you above the city. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views, fresh alpine air, and a peaceful escape from the urban buzz.
This tour is ideal for those who want to feel Zurich, not just see it—to move through it and breathe it in.
Per request, wrap up your city tour with an unforgettable finale—an afternoon escape to the majestic Rhine Falls, where golden light meets thundering water. A perfect ending that turns a great day in Zurich into a truly spectacular experience.

5.00This was a great tour that included a guided walk of old town of Zurich, ferry cruise on Lake Zurich & cable car up to Felsenegg to get great views of the surrounding valley. Our guide, Greg was very knowledgeable & entertaining. This was a long day & be prepared for more than 5 hours of moving by foot, train, ferry & cable car. Good fitness level is required & make sure you have good footwear for the various terrains encountered. Great way to see Zurich & surrounding areas !!
Great way to see a lot of Zurich in a half day.

5.00This was a fast-paced and thorough tour of Zürich! We appreciated all the thoughtful & various ways we could see the city. From cable car, boat, & walking we packed a lot in reaching about 12,000 steps. Bring good tennis shoes, and a refillable water bottle. Mr. Vasi was an excellent guide, sharing photos and stories, & history, but also mixed in current Swiss culture to give guests a lot of information. Wonderful & funny - efficient & kind. The passenger van was a plus giving us a little break in air conditioning as it was a hot day.
Best tour in Zurich !!

5.00Our guide was very well versed on history, buildings, everyday life, outdoors, and was very humorous! We were able to experience so much more of Zurich. If you have mobility issues, walking through Zurich's old section would not be easy.
