What a wonderful introduction to Zurich! Our guide was not only knowledgeable, but was warm and friendly, and seemed genuinely interested in sharing his beautiful city with us. We learned a lot and had a very nice time.

The walking tour was informative and engaging, offering a great mix of culture and insights into everyday life in Zurich. Our guide, who was from Zurich, was friendly, knowledgeable. While it wasn’t a historical tour (what we prefer), the guide did share interesting details about Zurich’s recent history. We had a ride on the cable car up to the University, which offered unique views of the city, and enjoyed traveling between the different sights by tram – a great way to experience Zurich like a local. We took a coffee break by the river and we didn’t opt for the lake cruise, since we had already done one in Lucerne. This tour more than enough to appreciate the charm of Zurich and it's perfect anyone wanting an overview of Zurich and a great introduction to the city
It is not the guide's...

It is not the guide's fault as the guide had experienced a major family tragedy that day and thus understandably was not able to do the required task. My feedback is that the tour should have been canceled and I would have understood given the circumstances, rather than still going through with it and covering very little of what was in the agenda. Again, not the guides fault, i have to just give feedback on what i feel was a poor experience and a better decision to just not go ahead given circumstances should have been made.
Great experience
