What are people saying about Zurich

Zurich: Guided Daytrip to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Interlaken

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.

Zürich Historic District Tour

George_P, Aug 2026

A must do walking tour of Zurich!

Fantastic walking tour of the old town of Zurich with an excellent guide, Nabila! We really enjoyed exploring the sights, squares, churches, and beautiful architecture of this gem of a city. Nabila was so knowledgeable and friendly, and made this a great experience! Would highly recommend taking this tour!

Beautiful scenery, just...

Beautiful scenery, just enough time in each location, multiple options for activities in Grindelwald if you go up the mountain. Plenty of food choices for lunch. Karen our guide and Philippe our driver were fantastic about keeping us informed and on schedule. Great 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!

Nicole_M, Jul 2026

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.

Zermatt, Matterhorn & Gornergrat Small Group Day Tour from Zürich

Margaret_S, Jun 2026

Perfect view of Matterhorn!

Alex our guide was a little early so we got great seats on first train. Alex guided us to all of the trains with perfect connections! We were very lucky to have perfect weather the entire trip. Nice lunch in Zermatt! Beautiful blue skies to see the Matterhorn and surrounding mountains!

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.

Mt Titlis Glacier Paradise Tour from Zurich With Lucerne

Katherine_M, Dec 2025

Highly Recommend

The day was seamless. Our tour guide was very informative and gave lots of information about each town that we passed. We did have to wait in a lot of lines to get to the top of the mountain, but I think it was because we went on a holiday. The views were incredible and we enjoyed every second. We wish we had more time in Lucerne.
