We had Adolfo as our guide and he did a brilliant job. The bus was clean and comfortable, timing was perfect for us.
The tour guide Renate was very professional and organized the trip very well. She was nice, detailed oriented. It was a pleasant experience for our family.
The second part with the chocolate museum, boat ride and the FIFA museum was great. The morning part was spent on the bus too much and we didn't actually walk around old town except for 15 minutes. We didn't have the greatest guide on this trip, which affected our experience.
Evereone in my family loved it.
Great tour guide Marianne. She was very knowledgable, kind, and an excellent English speaker. Awesome awesome awesome would recommend her.
Fun experience. We rode the bus for a tour of parts of the city, stopped by the lake for a quick photo, walked through part of Old Town, had a quick boat ride, walked to the Lindt chocolate tour and had the option to take the public bus back to the starting point. Be prepared for parts of the trip to be hot and include walking. Totally fun and worth it!!
Highlight of our trip to Switzerland!
An incredible trip. Switzerland is a beautiful country that invites you to enjoy it. There is a tranquility and landscapes worthy of seeing. The food is spectacular and the staff is attentive to service, although they are a bit cold.
This was an exciting tour, lots of knowledge of Zürich and places one would not usually travel to. Includes the chocolate factory, boat ride and 24hour travel ticket. FIFA museum was amazing with history and jerseys on display
Firstly: Verena was an outstanding guide who had to unfortunately cope with one particularly bad mannered person for almost the entire tour, but did it brilliantly. Her knowledge, keeping the team engaged was excellent. The tour content was also excellent and most interesting
