4.00Though we had a good time, I am not sure I would book this particular tour again. It seemed a bit expensive for a quick overview of Zurich. However, our guide was very good -- very thorough with all directions and very easy to understand, unlike other tours I have been on.

5.00We are a family of three from the UK, and this trip to Switzerland had been planned for a long time. Zurich was our very first stop, and we were full of curiosity and excitement about this beautiful city. Joining the Best of Switzerland Tours “Zurich and Lindt Home of Chocolate” excursion turned out to be the perfect start to our Swiss adventure! Everything was wonderfully organized — the coach was comfortable, the pace was relaxed, and our guide, Ms. Khushnum, was truly exceptional. Thanks to her clear explanations, we not only saw Zurich’s most beautiful sights but also came to understand so much more about Switzerland’s culture, history, and daily life. The panoramic drive through the city gave us a great first impression — from Lake Zurich and the Opera House to the Zürichberg district and the charming Old Town. The short boat trip on Lake Zurich was peaceful and lovely. Of course, the highlight was our visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate. The architecture is stunning, the interactive exhibits were fun and educational, and the unlimited chocolate tasting was absolutely amazing! We also enjoyed relaxing at the Lindt Café and browsing the world’s largest Lindt Chocolate Shop for gifts to take home. The tour ended conveniently at Zurich Main Station, and the included 24-hour ticket made it easy for us to continue exploring on our own. It was a perfect combination of sightseeing, learning, and sweet indulgence. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zurich — and a heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Khushnum, our wonderful guide and the Best of Switzerland Tours team for such a memorable beginning to our Swiss journey!

5.00This tour was a great way to get an overview of Zurich. The bus portion took us by some of the key tourist attractions in the city. The Lindt factory was educational and quite tasty. And the boat ride back at night was beautiful looking at the lit up city. Katrin was an excellent guide and really made for an enjoyable tour.
A good overview

5.00A very good way to get an overview of Zurich with an interesting and tasty finish at Lindt. The tour is short but still contains a lot and our guide Francisca was very good and added personal posts and did not just read a script.
