    Terrific tour of Zurich and some of the areas around Zurich. Gave a good overview and some lovely sites of the city from outside the city. Our tour guide Marcel was knowledgeable and humorous. Francesco was a skilled driver and very friendly. We would recommend as a great introduction to the lovely city of Zurich!

    Not exactly as advertised. You will spend 80% of your time on the bus. The Old Town walking tour was 10 minutes. The ferry ride is via a car ferry which move the bus across the lake - again about 10 minutes. Deceptively advertised!

    I didn’t like that it was in Spanish and English. I thought I signed up for English. So I think it could’ve been Better I signed up for an English chore. There’s only one Spanish-speaking on our bus. I think it should’ve been on another tour not ours. but otherwise our guide did her best !

  • Wonderful tour!

    The tour was great for staying only a day in Zurich. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely worth it!

    Comprehensive, educational and fun! Loved seeing the different areas of Zurich, especially from the ferry over the lake and from the top of the hill from the cable car and mountaintop restaurant. I was a hit with my family for booking this excursion for all of us!

    Disappointment was the most memorable part of our tour. Me and my wife booked the tour through Viator, paid money and got confirmation. On the day at meeting point, both of us and a few more tourist were told that Viator has overbooked the tour and there is no space in the bus. All of us disappointed. All the money spent on traveling to Zürich and meeting point was wasted. Although Viator refunded the tour fee but traveling money and a day was wasted. I will not recommend Viator to family/ friends. This happened second time with me.

  • Lousy.

    They cancelled my Tour and warned me that same day at the same place. And now they won't answer me for my refund.

  • Never book a tour the day of!!

    My problem is with Viator and Yo Tours. They booked me for an excursion that was already full. We walk all the way to the meeting point to find out we were not booked on the tour with the operator. I’m still in conversations with Viator to get refunded ! My advice is NEVER book a tour the day of. The only reason I did was we weren’t sure what time we would arrive in Zurich.

  • Good tour!

    Guide was knowledgeable and provided clear commentary. We met a very nice couple from Sweden, which made the tour even more so pleasant. The cable car ride was great and the restaurant at the top of the cable car ride had good food.
