Zurich Super Tour

5.00Ben was exceptionally knowledgeable of the city’s history. He took the time to go into detail to answer each person’s questions. He was very friendly and encouraged discussions and chit/chat. He took the time to also get to know each of us and remember all our names. Ben spoke very clearly and provided many interesting details. We of course loved visiting the three chocolate stores and learning about their history. The tour had the right amount of walking and was paced very well allowing the slower folks to keep up with the group. The selection of sites was a perfect blend of the growth of Zurich over the centuries. This was most definitely a worthwhile tour!
A perfect way to explore Zurich!

5.00A great way to explore Zurich! Ben, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The small group format maximizes the interchange with the guide. We enjoyed the walking, the boat ride, and the chocolate sampling. A perfect combination of experiences and length of time. Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour with Ben!...

5.00Wonderful tour with Ben! He makes you feel like you’re just strolling the town with an old friend (one with a wealth of knowledge)! Love the chocolate stops!

5.00Overall this was a great way to see the city. It was nice to be in a small group and talk with the guide to learn more about Zürich. The lake tour was a little underwhelming, as you could have purchased a transit ticket for cheaper and did the same cruise. Overall it was a great tour and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful experience!

5.00This was a great trip. Knowledgeable guide who did a wonderful job explaining all the great historical aspects of the city. We got to see places we wouldn’t have on our own and learn a lot of awesome things that we wouldn’t have known walking it by ourselves. Highly recommend. Oh and the chocolate was 100% worth it!!

5.00Great overview of Zurich, especially Altstadt area. Lake cruise was relaxing with good views of Zurich and surrounding area. Our guide Ben was excellent, and as a historian and archaeologist by training he is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the city and its history. He was also helpful in providing some recommendations for dinner.
Fun and informative tour with Teresa!
