What are people saying about Zurich

Chi_P, Aug 2026

Nice excursion for full day

This excursion was very nice for a full day. Beautiful scenery, town at Grindewald. Exceptional lake with turquoise water in Interlaken. Because of the heatway and summer, we only saw 1 waterfalls of 70(s). Our tour guide was Gonzalo, 5 star for him and the company.

Zurich: Interlaken, Grindelwald & Lauterbrunnen Guided Day Trip

Agnieszka_G, Aug 2026

A little touch of Majestic Alps

Great tour especially if your stay in Switzerland is not long. If you want to do hiking go by train on your own. But it worked perfectly for us. Comfortable bus. A little bit of touch of local villages/ towns. Gorgeous views from Mt. First - highly recommend to buy upgrade/ tickets for the lift on the bus from the tour guide. You will have time to walk around, take pictures or enjoy lunch looking at majestic Alps. Everything runs on time. You are back in Zurich by 8pmand still have time to enjoy the city and have dinner.

Private Luxury Tour of Switzerland

Thuthi_V, Aug 2026

An awe-inspiring experience awaits you!

If you want to be shown the most spectacular vistas of Switzerland in style, comfort and luxury, look no further! This is the ultimate tour that must not be missed! Fernando, our host, knows how to introduce the beauty of the Swiss landscapes to his guests and boy, did he leave us completely amazed. The photos speak for themselves, but they do little justice to actually being in the presence of astounding nature. Worth every penny. Highly recommend this tour for those who are looking for an up-close experience with awe-inspiring beauty that must be captured by camera, heart and soul. Thank you, Fernando, for this unforgettable experience.

Discover 4 Countries in One Day from Zurich in Small Group

Robert_B, Jul 2026

Pre Switzerland train trip.

Was in Zurich a couple days early waiting for my Train tour and decided on this for something to do. My booked date was moved back a day due to issues with the minimum number of people going, but the offer to change dates was communicated to me and the switch in days was made easier. Tour started with a pickup right in front of my hotel. There were a total of 6 of us on the tour and Ben was an excellent guide. He provided commentary and information about the sites and locations when needed without being overbearing. 3 of the 4 sites were a lot of fun and I'm definitely glad I took this tour. The one exception was the stop in Austria. There wasn't much there with the exception of checking the Austria travel block off if you hadn't been there. Rhine Falls and Lichtenstein were the highlights of the rip for me.

Zurich Walking Tour With Cruise and Aerial Cable Car

Margaret_E, Jul 2026

Affordable Zurich tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Zurich. And he was very good at communicating lots of interesting details. As the weather was rather warm, he made sure we stopped in shaded areas when he wanted to go onto more detail about the areas we were seeing. I thought this tour was an incredible value given that it lasted almost 6 hours. We saw so much of the old town area on foot. We stopped for a 30 minute lunch break before we got on a ferry to see the many sights from Lake Zurich. And he made sure we got in line first to get the best seats on the boat. We left the ferry after 45 minutes and were met by a large passenger van to drive us to the cable car. The views from the top were extraordinary. Once back down, our driver took us back into Zurich for the end of the tour. We will use Viator again on upcoming trips!

Thanks, Payam!

Our group of 6 took this tour with Payam on a day that started out incredibly rainy. Payam stayed optimistic and assured us he’d find us alternatives if any of the planned activities were rained out, but luckily it all worked out for the best! The rain brought cooler temperatures and kept the crowds away even though we visited during peak season. We had a great time on all of the stops and Payam was the perfect guide, driver, and even photographer - he pointed out photo ops along the way and took group photos for us. Payam was a fun guide. He was very informative and made excellent recommendations both for lunch during the tour and also for dinner after. The tour was a nice combination of places we would not have thought to put together in 1 day on our own.

Zurich Old Town Walking Tour

Charlotte_T, Jul 2026

Walking Tour of Zurich with Family

We enjoyed our walking tour of Zurich "Old Town" despite the unusually hot weather. Our Guide, Eric, not only was very knowledgeable and friendly, but he was also very thoughtful in that he led us to the shady areas at each site, as we listened to the interesting history he shared. As advertised, this was a moderately paced tour.

Zurich eTukTuk Private Tour - with Cheese Fondue and Wine

Patricia_G, Apr 2026

Unique Perspective!

Tuk-tuking around Zurich? Such a great way to see the City! Our guide picked us up at the hotel and was immediately engaging and extremely informative. The addition of fondue and wine made the experience truly unique. Winding through small back streets and passing by all the major sites in such a personalized way beats a tour bus any day! The cozy blankets in an unexpected “snow squall” was a pleasant surprise. All in all, a perfect way to spend our first night in Zurich.

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.
