Emily_H, Aug 2026

Wonderful Experience

Don't miss this tour

Don't miss this tour. The Swiss Alps, lakes etc. in all their glory. Matthew is in the conversation for one of the best guides we've ever had and we've had many. All day we were given interesting history, culture, geography , topagrphy etc etc. He was clear and concise and there was never a doubt as to times and options at each stop. 5/5

Discover 4 Countries in One Day from Zurich in Small Group

ayana_w, Aug 2026

Our group packed a lot...

Our group packed a lot into a 10-hour day. The country visits were well-paced and enjoyable. John's calm and easy-going demeanor made it easy to engage with him and ask questions. Although we all brought our passports, we didn't end up showing them at any borders. We did a ton of walking, with a significant portion being uphill, so I would keep this in mind for anyone with mobility issues. This tour is a great way to visit four countries in a short window, and I highly recommend it.

Mt Pilatus and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich With Lake Cruise

Brenda_F, Aug 2026

Excellent Mt. Pilatus & Lucerne Tour

Excellent Mt. Pilatus & Lucerne Tour Review We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Mt. Pilatus and Lucerne day trip from Zurich! Everything was very well organized, and the entire day was enjoyable from beginning to end. What we especially appreciated was that all of the excursions and activities were included in the price. There were no unexpected costs or surprise fees, which made the experience stress-free and allowed us to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery and the tour. The combination of Mt. Pilatus, Lucerne, and the lake cruise was fantastic, and each part of the day offered something special. The organization was excellent, and we felt that the tour provided great value for the money. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Switzerland. It was a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our trip!

Mount Titlis and Lucerne Day Trip from Zurich

James_E, Aug 2026

A great day and plenty of things to see

I was a little hesitant for this tour because of the 10 hour time frame but it turned out perfect. The meeting area is very close to the train station but keep in mind, you can't bring coffee on the bus. (Learned this the hard way...) Alexander our guide was great at describing things along the way to our first stop and the view is incredible. We arrived in Lucerne and were given about 2 hours to walk around which was plenty of time. After that we headed to Mt Titlis and had about 3 hours to see everything. You take a series of cable cars up to the top and have a few things to do and see while up there. If you are there during the summer, you will still probably see snow but you won't need winter clothes. Give yourself extra time to do the zipline and/or rowing in the small lake. You then finish up the day with a nice ride back to the bus station. They do pretty well on time getting you back at 7pm but the traffic might slow you down a little bit. Such a great tour and definitely worth the money! (The worst part of it is just a little bit of a tight fit on the bus, especially if you are tall or big).

Zurich City Tour with Chocolate Tasting and Lake Cruise

Michael_K, Aug 2026

Great Tour!

The tour was great, with mild to moderate physical demand for the walking portion. Our tour guide, Teresa, was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The tour ends with a beautiful and relaxing 1 hour boat ride on a small ferry around Lake Zurich. Be sure to pack a water bottle to fill out of the fountains, a hat or small umbrella for shade, and light clothing if it’s a sunny hot day. Oh and the chocolate was delicious!

Jungfraujoch Day Trip from Zurich: Swiss Alps & Bernese Oberland

TimK, Jul 2026

The top of Europe is tops!

This was the highlight of our Switzerland experience. It was the right itinerary for us. If you have to pick one mountain top experience: this is the one that you want to do. The right amount of time without feeling rushed at each location. Olga was a wealth of information and presented in an entertaining way (there aren’t any cows in the lowlands in the summer: they’re in the mountains on vacation!). She knew that there was weather moving in and led us directly to the lift to the Sphinx Observatory so we wouldn’t miss it. It started snowing in n July while we were up there and several outdoor areas closed right after we got through. Also she re-checked on us as the rapid change in altitude left us winded. We felt looked after and it was comforting as well as an appreciated safety measure. She knew the right place to snack (the self- service restaurant at the Sphinx observatory) and where to get my cocktail on (Aperol spritz is the drink of the summer). Timing was punctual and as advertised. Worth the money and we would recommend highly!!

Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe Day Trip from Zurich

MARIE_J, Jul 2026

The best yet

It was the best experience I’ve had with a guided tour. It was well organized, from start to finish. The bus was extremely comfortable and clean. Our tour guide Kid was the BEST! He went above and beyond, he was not only exceptionally professional but also has a great sense of humor. He truly made this tour the highlight of my trip!

Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein Half-Day Tour from Zurich

Brenda_W, Jul 2026

Two Aussie travellers.

Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and that you arr able to climb stairs. There is a lift to take you down to the Falls, but if you take the lift back you will miss some of the best views of the Rhine Falls. Bernie and George were our tour guides and both were lovely people. Nothing was too much trouble. Bernie gave excellent information about everything we saw. We would highly recommend this tour.

Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates

Erika_B, Jul 2026

Something for everyone

Great tour! It included several delicious local dishes in sit-down environments and was perfectly paced. Our guide, Johanna, was delightful and very knowledgeable about Zurich’s history and the food we were eating. Our family includes three tween- to teen- aged boys and everyone had a great time. A great way to get a feel for Zürich and its local dishes especially if you don’t have a long time in town. Would definitely recommend.

From Zurich: Premium Panoramic Train, Lucerne & Interlaken Alps

Angela_F, Jun 2026

Exactly as described but...

Exactly as described but could have added the number of steps involved. Didn't mind them, I can do that many, but we had like 20,000 steps when we thought there wouldn't be much at all with mostly train riding/viewing. I wouldn't change it, loved it, just saying probably should let people know so they for sure wear the correct shoes. We also decided to stay up in Interlaken after the tour left and they guide helped us out with detailed information on how to get back on our own. This was wonderful! We used the time to take the funicular up to the top in Interlaken - well worth the add!

Glacier Express and Swiss Alps and Lucerne Tour From Zurich

Jacqueline_S, Mar 2026

Great day on Glacier Express and Andermott.

Pleasant day, beautiful views. Victor was a wonderful guide. Trip went like clockwork because of his great planning. We went on 6 trains and every one was on time. I could never have planned it so well. Food really good on the Glacier express. Sit on the left side leaving Zürich facing the direction you are traveling . You can really see from everwhere and apparently you need a reservation. Only down side, it was raining in Lucerne.
