The Great Tour of Zurich

After pickup from a centrally located spot in Zurich, climb aboard a spacious, air-conditioned coach and embark on a panoramic sightseeing tour of the city. As your guide delivers entertaining commentary, gaze out of the window at impressive monuments like Fraumuenster Church from the outside and the historical Limmitaquai. 

Cruise through the charming Old Town, the commercial center and the university district and marvel at sweeping vistas of the snow-capped Alps mountain range as you travel along the Hohenstrasse towards the quaint village of Rapperswil, affectionately known as the ‘City of Roses’. 

Relish the charming sights of the village on a guided orientation tour, discovering the ancient castle, the beautiful rose gardens and the deer park. Stroll the ambient sprawl of the Old Town and then enjoy some leisurely free time to explore independently. 

Next, climb aboard a boat for an enchanting boat tour of Lake Zurich; revitalize with a fulfilling lunch at the onboard restaurant (own expense) and then reconvene with your guide for the return journey to Zurich.  

Please note: between November and March there are no boats operating, so you return to Zurich by modern train 'Gold Coast Express' along the romantic road parallel to Lake Zurich.
