Our tour guide did an excellent job. We learned so much, and had an enjoyable time doing it. We walked and learned and saw.
Greg was a fantastic guide, we learnt so many interesting facts about the Swiss! An easy walk, revealing the old town, lots of quirky facts and figures, traditions and discoveries, including a delicious brand of chocolate, which amply filled my suitcase when we left for home the next day! After the tour ended we retraced our steps. I Definitely recommend this small group tour.
Dear Barbara, thanks for your great feedback and we are really happy to hear that you have enjoyed the walking tour of Zurich in a small group offered by us. We will definitely pass your greetings to Greg and thanks for recommending us to other travelers visiting Switzerland. Kind regards from Zurich, D. Orelli
<p>This was one of the best tours I have ever had, and I have been on a lot of tours! Even through the rain, our guide made this tour awesome! We saw parts of Zurich I do not think many people even know about and he explained the history of Zurich and Switzerland as we went. I really didn't want the tour to end even though my shoes were soaked! I highly recommend taking this tour if you have 2-3 hours in Zurich.</p>
