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.

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.

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.

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.
