Nice for people with disabilities, people who don’t have much time or don’t like getting lost and want to know some history
This was an excellent tour of the city, and well worth the cost. The commentary was very interesting & gave insight of the journey taken to reach the Zurich we know today. The coach captain was informative & courteous.
For those short in time, this bus tour provides a good glimpse of the city, both old and new.
The tour was informational and compete. We got to enjoy Zurich to the fullest. Zurich is an amazing beautiful city which we enjoy to the fullest.
Excellent service. Kind and well mannered staff and bus driver. Will certainly book other tours again. Very very good mix of information from the audio system as well as the tour guide.
Tour ran on time, was comfortable bus with good audio. Driver was helpful with storing the wheelchair and making sure my mum got on safely. Boat tour was the same and accessible for wheelchairs.
Good overview of the City of Zurich. The staff was very accomidating when we requested to move up our tour time and the accomodations were very comfortable.
It was very informative, and the driver did a great job of navigating the narrow streets. I would be happy to recommend this tour.
We took the city tour for 2 hours. Don’t waste your time & money. Once we got started,fyi…it’s prerecorded. What was in the audio didn’t match where we were! Left us puzzled as what are we looking at except the obvious was the lake! 2 hours included dropping off people for 2 other tours or addition to the city tour. I give a lot of credit for bus driver on the narrow streets, u turns as well as construction going on. You’re on your own once you board the bus, plug in your ear buds right away. The driver never made on announcement that the audio was starting. Details in meeting place tells you the color of building but it would have been helpful to say..”it’s a major bus parking lot”. Original reservation gave another address.!
We are surprised by your statement. Are you sure you took part in our city tour with audio commentary? It is a state-of-the-art system that works with GPS and virtually guarantees that the correct commentary is played at the relevant sights. The audio commentary starts as soon as the tour begins and the bus leaves the check-in area. There is no particular reason for our driver to announce this.
Had an accident and no one form yourself or the bus operators company contacted us to check if we fine. We didn’t get to complete the tour.
Dear Clarissa C. We have tried to explain why it took our employee so long to get to the scene of the accident. Fortunately, neither our guests nor passers-by were injured, but four ambulances were on standby just in case. We regret that the tour could not be completed, which is why our guests received a full refund. Overall, we regret the circumstances, but we are grateful that only our bus was damaged.
