Amazing and very flexible guide

5.00Our private guide was Hilaría (Ilaria). She was beyond outstanding. We truly enjoyed our visit to Zurich and learned a lot of historic facts from her. We were traveling with my parents. My mom is 75 and needs frequent bathroom visits. Hilaría was extremely patient and helpful in this sense. She also adapted incredibly well to our 11-people group who consisted of members aged from 13 to 79 year olds.

5.00We enjoy our guide Anora knowledge of the city. She took as to the best spots, including the lake surroundings and the old city, the art museum among many others. She also gave good advice about places to grab a bite when our tour was ending -she sensed that we were hungry :) - Thanks Anora for a wonderful experience!

5.00I had an amazing experience booking a last-minute private tour during my layover. The company was incredibly accommodating and personalized the tour to fit our needs. Anora met us directly at my location to begin the tour. She was mindful of our time, ensured we returned to the airport on schedule, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
