5.00We did the Zurich City Tour with Chocolate Tasting and Lake Cruise, and it was a solid experience. The city tour itself was a good way to see the main sights and get a feel for Zurich without feeling rushed. The guide gave us some interesting facts along the way, and we had enough time to snap photos. The chocolate tasting was a nice bonus – we got to try a few different types of Swiss chocolate, and they were all really good.
