Traveler reviews
The tour showed you a...
The tour showed you a variety of places in Zurich. The ferry was not available but we were not told that when we booked. We went to Lindt chocolates as a replacement. The tour guide had to say the tour in 3 languages which is always difficult. The weather was not the best so we heard a lot of “this would be scenic if the weather was better”. The tour guide was nice and knew her talking points.
Tour didn't deliver what was promised.
The general tour - bus ride and walking tour was very average. The ferry ride was cancelled due to water levels - which was understandable; the replacement visit to Lindt factory did not eventuate. When we questioned the guide at the end of the tour, he said HE decided not to do it! No prior advice or discussion! Very poor. Apart from the cable car ride we saw more of Zurich having a stroll through the streets. We have done a lot of tours through Viator and this was by far the worst!
Wonderful tour ♥️

I am so satisfied with the tour so much ! I highly recommend this tour !! Thank you so much, Angela and Victor !!! Hope to join tours from this company 😌🙏♥️

A nice tour to do on your first day in Zurich. It would have been helpful to know that the current tour does not offer a cruise of Lake Zurich and instead goes to the Lindt Chocolate factory before booking.
Wonderful time in Zurich! ✨🇨🇭
I took the Zurich tour with Best of Switzerland and had a really lovely experience. Although it’s a short tour, I found it very informative. I learned a lot about the city’s history, its churches, the old guilds and the Roman period while exploring the historic center. Angela was an incredible guide: very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and helped us better understand the places we visited. Due to the low water levels after the summer, it wasn’t possible to take the planned ferry ride across the lake. However, as an alternative, we visited the Lindt chocolate factory, and Angela surprised each of us with a chocolate bar in whichever flavor we preferred. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! The tour ended with a cable car ride up to Felsenegg, where we enjoyed beautiful views of Zurich, the lake and the Alps. We also tried some traditional food, including raclette, goulash and apple strudel, which was all delicious. Everything was very well organized, and I really enjoyed the combination of history, sightseeing, food and stunning views. I came away with a great first impression of Zurich. And a big thank you to Angela for making the experience so special!
