4.00Guide was knowledgeable. Lindt Tour and cruise portion was fantastic. Would probably skip the bus portion if that were an option? A bit long.

AMAZING Customer Support

5.00I recommend this tour primarily for their communication and customer service. Our family was traveling with 4 small kids and we were very excited for the itinerary ahead with only one day in Zurich. Unfortunately, after a significant plane delay, we missed the beginning time of our tour. I was hoping to still make the most of our time so I contacted the company via the help number listed and they were EXCELLENT communicators. They offered multiple meeting points where we could join this tour late, spoke great English, and were giving us nearly step by step instructions on which train to take. Every time we called back we got a great agent and they were aware of our situation and were trying to help with the upmost patience. Although we only experienced the final portion of the planned tour, I was so thankful they helped us navigate and enjoy the parts of Zurich that we still could. I credit our experience in Zurich to them and my payment to them gladly goes just for their support in personally helping us navigate. Thank you to your customer agents. This is a thorough itinerary for 5.5 hours in Zurich.
Great way to get an overview of the city

4.00We had only one full day in Zurich and this was the perfect way to catch the highlights and get a good overview of the city - the lake, the hillside, and the old town. Our guide was great. Personal preference, the Lindt Chocolate 'museum' was great, but too much time was allocated to it for me. It was the end of the tour so we could leave early and take the bus back to the old town. I would recommend it.
Wonderful tour of a beautiful city.

5.00Our tour guide Isabel was very knowledge about Zurich and made the tour a great way to see city highlights. I liked seeing so much of the city from bus, on foot, and by boat. The tour of Lindt factory was also very good, just don't try to listen to the entire audio tour or read everything. It's a bit of information overload and you won't have enough time to shop for goodies afterwards!
Great value for this wonderful tour!

5.00We booked this tour just the day before we took the tour. This was a great tour for the money. Wonderful tour of old town Zürich, Lake Zurich boat cruise, Lindt Chocolate Museum tour with lots of free sampling, and a return ride on a train. Our tour guide was very informative and happy to answer questions.
