    Our guide was wonderful. She was very nice and informative. We were a little jet-lagged so the boat tour was not as amazing as we hoped it would be. It required multiple stops as we moved around the lake. It provided a good overview of the old part of Zürich.

  • Lovely day trip from Basel

    This tour was very well organized and a great way to see Zurich in one day. The chocolate tasting was a highlight- delicious and fun! The city tour was informative, and the lake cruise was relaxing with beautiful views.

    I loved this tour! Switzerland Viva Tours organized everything really well. Our guide, Marcela, was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. We didn’t feel rushed, and the chocolate stores were special and unique. There were plenty of options, and we tried many chocolates with different flavors. Zurich was impressive, so much history and a very elegant city. We highly recommend this tour!

    This tour is a must! I went with two friends, and we’re all in our 60s. The guide was very patient with my walking needs and incredibly friendly with us. Zurich is such a beautiful city, and the Lindt museum is marvelous. It’s definitely worth it!
