5.00We were a little hesitant because of the 4.0 reviews, but this tour was excellent! In just 5.5 hours, we got a great overview of Zurich and its surroundings. The cable car ride up the mountain offered stunning views, and the ferry crossing of Lake Zurich on the tour bus was such a fun surprise. A wonderful way to see the best of Zurich — highly recommend!

5.00Nice way to see most of Zurich in short duration, we covered old town, gold and silver coast during the tour and passed through the lake, which was really amazing to see the complete city from the water, and highlight was at the top of city views from Felsnegg view point, we have also enjoyed the food and desert at the restaurant situated on the top while enjoying the views of city and a short walk to the grasslands.

3.00Romania is beautiful, especially the landscapes of Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains. But the Romanians change the character to sour when they hear you speak in Spanish, why will it be? Anyone else notice that antipathy?
