What are people saying about Zurich

Zurich Walking Tour With Cruise and Aerial Cable Car

Rebecca_J, Jun 2026

Cannot be missed

Absolutely brilliant walking tour. Our guide was informative and funny, making it really easy to interact and ask questions. Starting in Old Town you get a trip up the hill in the Polybahn and a great view of the city. For lunch, we were guided to a point to buy our lunch that had variety and affordable options. After lunch, we had a river cruise to our next location, with buses up the hill to attend the cable cars. With the cable cars up the mountain, we got a beautiful view of Zurich and the lake, and got to experience a small hike in the Swiss mountains! Afterward going back down, an easy train ride back to the city completed the tour. This tour is absolutely bang for your buck and so impressive with the amount of public transport use and ease to move through the city. It was a reasonable amount of walking for the tour length, but with frequent stops and time to sit when on transport - members of our tour all kept up. A perfect tour to see not just the city but some of the surrounds too!

Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe Day Trip from Zurich

PRAKASH_R, Jun 2026

Exceptional Tour Guide

The tour was very well organized and excellently managed by our tour guide, Kim. He truly stood out and made the experience special for several reasons. Kim has a great sense of humor, which kept the tour enjoyable throughout. He communicated everything clearly and well in advance, ensuring everyone felt informed and comfortable. What impressed me the most was the way he treated every customer equally, with the same level of care and attention, without any differentiation. I would absolutely love to come back, largely because of him and the way he kept the group together and engaged throughout the experience. I’m extremely impressed with Kim as a tour guide and highly appreciate his dedication and professionalism.

You Have To Do This

Oh my gosh. This tour was so much fun. We went all over the city and saw so much! Our tour was toward the end of the day so we saw Zurich by daylight then in that golden hour as the sun is setting and then at night. It was beautiful And the wine and food were amazing. We ate to our hearts content and it was just so very good. It’s easy to fit into a schedule even if you are busy. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. It was just that good.

Highly recommended, Rene is wonderful!

Awesome tour of old town, both sides. Rene was a great tour guide, that we thoroughly enjoyed. He pointed out buildings, museums and history as we went on our journey. A little walk to the old Jewish quarter and the 1342 bay window, not far from 'Heidi's house'. (The home of the author of this wonderful book.) We went places on the tuk tuk that normally are for pedestrians and bikes, but this tuk tuk qualifies. Limits walking if the weather or physical conditions warrant. We stopped at university viewing platform for great photos. This tour gives you a sense of Zurich, a good overview and a starting point for more exploration on your own. Rene gave us great history stories, as well as interesting stories along the way.

Great tour of the Old Town in Zurich

We really enjoyed the tour of the old town - learning a lot about life in Zurich past and present and the important people who shaped its history. Our guide Marieanna was great and gave us lot of recommendations of more places to visit on our own. The tour started in the grand station and went on through the old town which is traffic free with stops along the way to find out interesting facts and learn about local landmarks.

Great day with Viktoriya!

We cannot say enough about our wonderful day with Viktoriya! She showed us so many highlights of Zurich plus some other sights we were not aware of. She knew the dates and historical details of the many places we visited, which we were not expecting, as that would be something you would normally only get with a tour guide expert. She has a contagious passion for Zurich that makes you, as a tourist, feel fortunate to be a part of. We enjoyed our day very much and highly recommend Viktoriya as a local guide!

Rebekah_K, Feb 2026

An unforgettable experience

This was an amazing experience. It was snowing, so we weren’t sure what we were going to be able to do. Although a few things were closed, our tour guide made it the best day ever for us. We agreed that this was one of our favorite days on our entire trip to Europe. We were very impressed with the kindness, respect, fun attitude, and overall positive experience we had. There were surprises along the way, and it was absolutely stunning outside. Because of the snow, our tour bus was one of the only ones on the mountain, creating a magical experience for us. Despite the snow, we still had a really fun day. Our tour guide also based the day off of our wants and needs, so it never felt like we were just sitting around for nothing.
