A great way of seeing the sights from the ground, the Lake and the Tram. Weather wasn’t a help, but our guide Patricia was very helpful and did a great job! We highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors!

Unique Zurich Tour
Tania_P, May 2024
I had a great day on this tour. Greg was very knowledgeable and the tour was very interesting and diverse using trams/trains/finicula/buses and finally a cable car to get to and from places. Highly recommended
Great tour
Amanda_T, May 2024
Great tour. Highly recommend. Tour guide (Greg) was knowledgeable and kind. Really felt like we got to see a lot. We brought my 2 year old along with an umbrella stroller and that was totally doable. Be warned that there’s quite a bit of stairs involved so a heavy full sized stroller would have been a big pain. Really enjoyed every aspect and felt like we saw a lot of the city.
High to recommend this tour
Teresa_K, May 2024
This was a very enjoyable tour. Our guide, Greg, was entertaining, enthusiastic and considerate of everyone in our group. The walking tour was very interesting, the boat ride enjoyable and the gondola ride brought us to some beautiful views. Worth every penny. Just be aware that there is a lot of walking and three very steep hills to climb. It was very doable and Greg let everyone go at their own pace. One of the great things about Switzerland is that everything runs strictly on schedule, so there is no waiting around for the next leg of your tour. I highly recommend this tour as a great 6 hours to get a nice overview of Zürich.
Great intro to Zurich!
Adriana_M, May 2024
We only had a couple of days in Zurich and this tour lets you hit many of the highlights in one day. Our tour guide Greg was knowledgeable and fun. He shared interesting facts and stories and made sure everyone had a great time!
Excellent tour of Zurich and nearby areas
Stacey_S, Apr 2024
This is a nice tour and the guide, Greg, is great. Even for areas of Zurich that I had seen before I learned new things about this history. It's a full 6 hours, and you'll get your steps in, but it's broken up with the ferry and cable car. Greg is good at adapting to the group and taking public transit when it makes sense.
Wonderful experience
Xunxie_W, Apr 2024
Great tour. Gain lots of knowledge about Zurich and explore the most interesting places. Highly recommend
A great tour! A great way to see Zurich!
Karen_J, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful day exploring the sights of Zurich. The stories and hidden knowledge of the city were shared and we wouldn’t have known that information just exploring on our own. We really enjoyed the ride on the funicular! Greg the tour guide and his fellow tour guide Constantine were the best!
Outstandingly high quality tour
Mark_S, Apr 2024
Greg, our guide, was informative and humorous. The combination of a walking tour, ferry, bus, train, and gondola was terrific.

Zurich 6-hour Tour
Clay_D, Oct 2023
Greg was a great guide. We didn’t feel rushed. He gave us enough time to take pictures. There were 9 of us in our group. We went to all places listed. Lindenhof, hike to Felsenegg & riding the boat were my favorites. Worth the money!
very enjoyable
matthew_b, Oct 2023
Greg our guide was very good, informative and interesting. He gave us a very good feel for the city itself as well as blending in some history and facts of the city.
Nice tour almost cover most of Zurich
Seko_B, Oct 2023
covers a lot of area Used all public transportation Very nice and informative guide (Greg) I wished to include the chocolate and cheese factory.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for your feedback! We’re curious to know if you read the tour description and the itinerary before booking it? And if yes, your way of thinking and your expectations are beyond our understanding! How can someone expect to visit a chocolate and cheese factory on a tour that includes a cruise on lake Zurich and a trip to a local mountain? That’s similar to ordering a hamburger and expecting to get a steak! For cheese and chocolate lovers are thematic tours. We hope you’ll pay more attention to details before booking your next tour. Regards, David Orelli
Beautiful Zurich
Maria_P, Oct 2023
The guide Greg and the fellow tourists. We had a very pleasant group. Our tour guide was very helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved the walking tour and the experience. I loved the beautiful view of Zurich from above. I would recommend it 100%.❤️
Beautiful experience
Camila_F, Oct 2023
It was a very nice and beautiful day. Greg was VERY informative and brought a lot of curiosities and details about Switzerland and the culture of the place. The timing was perfect - as a Swiss would do. 😂 I would only suggest the tour would wait just a few moments in each important place or stress to take a picture. Congratulations, Greg!!!
