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.

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.

Zermatt, Matterhorn & Gornergrat Small Group Day Tour from Zürich

Jim_B, Jul 2026

It was a great and memorable day with an excellent guide!

It's a great opportunity to see Zermatt. Seeing the Matterhorn depends on the weather. When we arrived it was partially obscured, but the clouds passed and we got a great view. Zermatt is a charming Swiss town. Our guide was excellent! He did a great job managing the trains and helping us with crowed train platforms. You will spend a lot of time traveling between Zurich and Zermatt, but we had an incredible experince!

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!

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.

Great guided tour - the views are amazing!

Great tour guide - Carsten - a giant personality to match a giant man!! The tour was great - informative along the drives, decent number of breaks. Great views and although you go on three gondolas to get to the top, they all felt safe and secure, even for someone with a fear of heights.
