3.00Starts at the train station, not sure where it ends- we gave up. Enjoyed the city overlook, the churches, and seeing the opera house.

3.00It took much longer than 2 hr. Got it done in 3.5 hours and only because I started reading the captions instead of listening. Directions were spot on and the pictures that go along with the directions were a huge help. Would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

5.00It was my first time in Zürich and I wanted an in depth experience at my own pace. I also had marked on my phone a few sites or stores I wanted to see as well. This was perfect! I was able to skip aspects I did not want to see very easily and go to additional places without needing to backtrack. I appreciated the thoroughness and the fact that I got a written transcript of the audio. For the price, it was an easy choice. You do need to make sure to have internet and I recommend a good pair of walking shoes because you are going to walk A LOT. It took me about 4-4/12 hours to do the tour but I got to sit and take it all in without feeling rushed. If you want a good experience and have a few hours to explore, you can’t beat this!
