5.00This is a great tour, certainly worth the extra money. The best part was the Lindt factory with the history of chocolate and the process to produce candy.
Enjoyable tour!

5.00Giannis, our driver, and Ricardo, our guide, were an awesome pair. When my elderly mom couldn’t keep up with the walking tour, Giannis gladly let mom stay in the van with him and he drove her around to see some of the sites. Meanwhile the rest enjoyed a lively walk around old town with Ricardo. Enjoyed the boat ride and loved the chocolate museum.
You can easily do this on your own for a LOT less money.

1.00To be honest, we thought this was a ripoff. Vasi, our guide, was a very nice guy and personable and knowledgeable. But he was with us for only 2 hours, during which we drove to a city overlook and walked through old town. He then dropped us off at the lake cruise terminal and gave us tickets and we were on our own. The driver picked us up at the end of the 30 minute cruise and drove us the very short distance to Lindt (everyone else walked easily). The driver then waited for us while we did the 1.5 hour tour and drove us back to our hotel. All for $1,000 USD for 4 people. The cruise tickets and Lindt were at most 25 Francs each. We could have very easily done this on our own for far less money and would highly recommend that everyone do so. There is no reason to spend this much money on such a basic tour that can easily be done on your own. We really felt like we were ripped off.
We had an excellent tour...

5.00The tour was a wonderful overview of Zurich. Our guide, Liana, was very knowledgeable and so kind. We liked the mix of walking through old town, a quick boat ride along the lake, and ending with a tour of the Lindt factory. Our driver, Beli, was also very friendly and tool great care of us from car, to boat, to cat again. He also recommended a wonderful lunch spot for us. I highly recommend this tour.
