3.00Our guide Bernadette was excellent, and knowledgeable, but we were the only 2 not doing the tour that included the lake cruise and chocolate tasting. They were not going to take us back to the starting point by bus, and suggested we take transit to return. We convinced the guide that we had paid for RT transportation, so the bus came back for us, but arrived 15 minutes after were had cut short the walking tour to meet the bus at the agreed on time and place.
Pretty much a bus ride

3.00Basically a short bus ride around the city. It was worthwhile seeing some of the neighborhoods outside the main tourist area and hearing a bit of the history of Zürich
I don't really recommend this unless you are looking into Insurance Companies.

2.00I wished to have learned more proper information about this tour, but the tour guide spoke more about insurance companies than the history. My mom ended up staying in the bus to sleep instead of joining the walking part of the tour after this realization. I, on the other hand, decided to just take pics at this point. Anyway, I was tight on schedule which was why I booked this one...

1.00Terrible tour. Bus driver was rude. The bus was hot we were not allowed to even have water. At one point, we stopped for a pic opportunity that no one cared about. We didn’t want get out of bus, but we were forced to get out and stand in hot sun bc driver turned off bus. Tour guide was bizarre acting. The sights were boring and the info was monotonous. Everyone was bored. We left halfway through and got a taxi (at extreme cost 100 Swiss francs) back to our hotel.
Beautiful views in Zurich!

4.00We really enjoyed walking along Lake Zurich and seeing the beautiful views of the lake and the background! Also, getting to walk along the cobblestone streets in Zurich provided a very nice nostalgic flair of what life was probably like in the past.
Easy way to see more of Zurich than on foot

3.00I had already walked around Old Town but hoped to see more. Well this was a combined tour with those who were also doing a cruise. Spent more time explaining that issue than telling about the sights. Couldn’t really do Old Town due to limitations of a tour bus and the construction plus prep for an outdoor event. Did get some interesting tidbits but disappointed in the lack of real information on the various buildings and the city itself. I have done a lot of tours through Viator and this was the first one that I was disappointed in.
Great!

5.00Monica was a great tour guide. Loved ending the tour in old Town. The tour covered a large scenic area. I was disappointed in the meeting point (bus station) where there are no benches or awning.
