4.00The Lindt Chocolate Factory was yummy. There is a bit of an uphill hike to the restaurant. But the view is awesome. Would have liked to have other meat and or veggies to dip, other than just bread.
Great food drinks and so much more

5.00Knowledgeable, cordial guide. Enjoyed the short visit to the Lindt chocolate home and store. This gives enough exposure so one can decide if they want to return and do the tour. Of course the highlight was the tram ride up the mountain and the cheese fondue dinner at the restaurant on top. Views to Zürich and up and down the lake are incredible!
A meal, hike, and tour that includes such an authentic feel for Switzerland.

5.00Monika was an excellent tour guide, driver, and helper with all things along the way. She gave us information on the bus all along our trip with fun facts about the neighborhoods in Zurich. We stopped and walked around the pier for a nice feel of Lake Zurich and its many boats. The Lindt Chocolate shop stop is just for shopping but we focused on buying only the flavors not available in the U.S. It's also worth seeing the chocolate fountain ;) The rest of the trip was so magical. We took a cable car ride up to hiking trails that take you to different towns. We walked only about 5 minutes to Felsenegg where we had our dinner with a lovely panoramic view of the lake and Zurich's surrounding areas. The restaurant is nestled up on a hill that has no access to cars and is in the middle of a farming town. We had a pre-dinner drink, some finger food, a salad, and then the traditional Swiss fondue with bread. Chocolate cake was for dessert. The weather was extremely nice and it was a very enjoyable evening. Monika was a wonderful host with so much information about life in Switzerland. We enjoyed this evening so much.
