Maria_T, Aug 2026

Nice day in the alps

Nice day out in the Alps. Be aware it is a long day with lots of driving. There is little time in Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken as most of the day is spent at Grindelwald because of the activities available. Lots to see but the distances are not small. Having said that, it was an enjoyable tour.

A great way to see the Swiss mountains and see their beauty!

A fantastic way to see the beautiful Swiss mountains and villages. The weather was definitely on our side too but we had enough time in each place and were given plenty of options/guidance on what we could do in each place. Jose was our driver and we felt in very safe hands. Natalia our guide was really knowledgeable and recommended a good hike for us in Grindelwald and that was definitely the highlight of our day!

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!

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.

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.
