2.00The guide, Greg, gave too many statistics. He hurried between sights, too fast for me to keep up. He ignored photographic opportunities. He spent most of the time on the wonders of Swiss achievements, rather than small anecdotes about the various buildings and sights that we passed.
A great way to learn about Zurich and the Swiss
