Greg was excellent. I highly recommend this tour, particularly if you have limited time in Zurich. We were only in Zurich for 2 days and this was perfect.

This was a wonderful tour of the beautiful city of Zurich from many different perspectives! Greg, our guide, was excellent! I liked how he used his ipad with pictures as he explained the history and stories of the many different areas we covered. I would do it again, I enjoyed it so much!

Patricia, our guide, was awesome. Great sample of Zurich and surrounding area. The walking requirements are real, including a couple of hills, but was very enjoyable.
