    A nice mix of history and relevance of sights. Our guide helped with purchase of future train tickets and finding our favorite Laderach store. Tram transit was easier with our guide. Fascinating factoids that we did not know about for example was the downfall of Credit Suisse. Overall 8/10 rating.

  • Was nothing like the description. Not worth the cost.

    Unfortunately this tour was not as described. We had a substitute guide who was nice but didn’t take us anywhere listed on the description except the boat ride. We paid over $800 for a private tour for four people for four hours. It was very disappointing.

    Wonderful walking tour to get us acquainted with Zürich. Enzo was a great guide and interesting. Kept us awake after early AM arrival from the US.

    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.

  • overview and recent history of Zurich

    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
