What are people saying about Zurich

Chocolate Walking Tour in Zurich

Susan_G, May 2026

Chocolate tasting with history of Zurich!

The Walking Chocolate Tour with Ultimate Ways was fantastic, and Daisy was an exceptional guide. Despite the challenge of most chocolate shops being closed for Labor Day in Zurich, she handled the situation seamlessly. Only three stores were open, but Daisy came fully prepared with samples from all the featured chocolatiers, so we didn’t feel like we missed out at all. As we walked through the city, she shared fascinating insights into Zurich’s history and its deep connection to chocolate-making, which made the experience even more engaging. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and adaptability truly made the tour special. Even without visiting every store, it was an amazing and memorable experience that I would highly recommend. And we agree the Swiss have the best chocolate!

A Thorough Historical Tour of Old Zurich

Maria was a fantastic guide. We covered lots of ground and she pointed out many sites that were above street level that a casual walker would miss. Her wanderings led us through narrow alleyways that clearly showed her intimate knowledge of the city. Definitely good value for an expertly guided tour.

Jolita was very knowledgeable and very personable. She made the tour very enjoyable. It was at a great pace and the places we stopped for all the tastings were amazing. Not only did she about the food, but gave us history and culture as well. We would highly recommend this tour and ask for her.

A perfect way to explore Zurich!

A great way to explore Zurich! Ben, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. The small group format maximizes the interchange with the guide. We enjoyed the walking, the boat ride, and the chocolate sampling. A perfect combination of experiences and length of time. Highly recommend!

Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe Day Trip from Zurich

Sanja_K, Dec 2025

The whole trip was...

The whole trip was amazing. The Jungfraujoch is really something to see and experience is amazing. The train, the cable car, the glacier, the ice room, everything was amazing. Would have been great though if we had at least an hour more on Jungfrau, this was a bit tense. Our guide Xi and our driver Vojo were excelent, very polite, helpful and pleasant.

Amy_S, Dec 2025

Our tour guide, Daniel,...

Our tour guide, Daniel, was very punctual, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. I collect Christmas ornaments from places we travel to, so one of my goals for this tour was to obtain those. My fault for booking the tour on Boxing Day, when only the souvenir store in Vaduz was open. Daniel tried to help us find places, with no luck. And it was a cloudy/foggy day, so we could not do the cable car in Bregenz (we could have chosen, but would not have seen much). Daniel was quick to have an alternate plan. In every location, he never hesitated to snap a photo of my husband and I. This tour was a good mix of locations and time spent in each. We spent the rest of our week in Zurich, so it was nice to get out and see different areas. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Mt Titlis Glacier Paradise Tour from Zurich With Lucerne

Ron_O, Dec 2025

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.

Zurich Old Town Walking Tour

Leo_N, Aug 2025

V Good, but tiring if it's too hot (eg 30C)

Brisk walking necessary between stops to cover all the places. You get a breather in rest stops, Great guide (Suzanne), checked everyone was OK in heat, and walked in the shade. 1. bring water, although there are many free, clean, public water fountains to refill your bottle. 2. Get a free map from starting point (tourist office) if you want to know where you are. Great confidence builder for walking around later. 3. Do your tour at the start of your stay in Zurich. There are many small streets impassible by buses, which is where a walking tour of Zurich wins.

Mt Rigi and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich With Boat Ride

Joseph_S, Jul 2025

Mt. Rigi and Lucerne Excellence.

We had a fantastic tour visiting Mt. Rigi, Lucerne with our Boat ride. Cecilia was a great tour guide and very knowledgable. We loved the bus trip, cable car and cog train parts of the trip and found we had of lot of our own free time to hike and look around on the tour and it was very well timed. The scenery was beautiful on the mountain and also on the boat trip. We thoroughly recommend this trip

Bern Small-Group Day Trip from Zurich Including Cheese Tasting

StephenCornell_W, Jun 2025

Not fit for human consumption.

The guide was great. The cookie company and cheese company products were not what anyone should eat. On the list of killer, habit forming things that should not be eaten. Full of sugar, carbohydrates, highly processed grain, saturated fat and cholesterol. The views from the bus were great. Bern was great except for the bear habitat. Would have been nice if there was time for lunch in Bern. Great photo opportunities in Bern.

Zermatt & Mt. Gornergrat Small Group Day Trip from Zürich

Ronald_G, May 2025

Perfect day in every way!

Two city trains and two cog wheel trains to get to the top of Gornergrat and Michael coordinated it all perfectly. He even ran ahead each time we changed trains to make sure we were able to get a good seat. The multiple train rides were worth it when we arrived at our destination…the top of Gornergrat! What breathtaking beauty! The sun was shining so we had a perfect day to see all the peaks including the Matterhorn. Michael took so many great pictures of us. It was like having our own personal photographer with us! Michael suggested we have lunch on the outside terrace. It was 37 degrees Fahrenheit but with the sun shining, it was perfect to sit outside and enjoy our cheese raclette. From the top of Gornergrat we took the cog wheel train back to Zermatt and spent time visiting all the special spots that Michael was familiar with in Zermatt. Such a perfect day! Seeing the Matterhorn allows me to cross one thing off my bucket list. My husband loved the tour as much as I did. The memories and photos we were able to bring home with us will be treasured for years to come. Our thanks to Michael for a marvelous day!!
