5.00A very fun way to spend the afternoon in Zurich! We walked past many beautiful fountains & learned some interesting history. The app was easy to use & the sites easy to walk to. Another plus was getting silly photos of our experience! Especially good for those who have been to Zurich before but haven’t done extensive touring of the city.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Zurich
