4.00Our guide was knowledgeable and had a command of English! However the walking part of old town was very long! The best part was the lake cruise on the way back from the chocolate tour, very relaxing! The factory was very busy, long lines. There was plenty of samples.
Great experience

5.00Enjoyable way to see a lot of Zürich and the chocolate factory tour was a very interesting look at the history of chocolate and its importance in Switzerland. Plus lots of samples to taste!
Pass on this one.

2.00A little rain and traffic sent this tour right off the rails. The guide and the company had no idea what to do. Book this tour if you want to sit in city traffic in a bus for a few hours. Otherwise, v just book your own tickets to the Lindt chocolate factory.
Buildings, lake and chocolate!

4.00Our guide, Renate, was very knowledgable and attentive. An excellent way to get an overview of Zurich. However, I would have preferred a smaller group with no children. The bus tour was very informative. The sights were phenomenal. The short walking portions were a fast pace which was necessary due to the schedule. The Lindt Chocolate Museum was so worth it, both in the history and the chocolate samples. Unlimited chocolate samples! And yes, the chocolate made in Switzerland has a different flavor. They say it is due to the milk from theSwiss cows.
Variety of activities
