Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour
This is a wonderful way to get a touch of the old city and beautiful lake Zürich. The best part was the tram ride and an absolutely stunning view of Zurich from above. Sofia our guide was wonderful and explained the community and living in Zurich today.
The description states A...
The description states A ferry ride. It was only a car ferry that was for transportation. It wasn’t a boat ride. The cable car was nice with the restaurant at the top. The cable car was very tight when full. It was supposed to hold 31 but at 22 we were busting at the seams. Lars was a good tour guide and gave lots of info.
Disorganized tour guide abd mediocre tour
It could have been a typical Zurich tour, but unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. Our tour guide, Lars, seemed to be taking it easy that day and, at one point, appeared to forget that he had instructed part of our group to wait for him at a statue on a bridge in Zurich. While he continued the tour and stopped to interpret the route for the Spanish-speaking guests, the rest of us were left behind. Seven of us were waiting for him, only to eventually realize that the group had moved on without us. We were left wandering around trying to figure out what had happened and eventually had to ask our bus driver for help, only to discover that he didn't speak English. I confronted Lars and asked why he had left seven people behind, especially when managing the group is a fundamental responsibility of a tour guide. The tour is mediocre at best with a 10 minute transport ferry tour and a "cable car" that squeezed us like sardines only to see an average views on top? I dont think I will recommend this tour for anyone.

One day tour
Not to book the tour in the weekends to the crowds at the cable car area. Also there is no lake cruise
