Diane_H, Jun 2026

The Pleasing Taste of Historical Zurich

This was fantastic! Our train to Zurich was 40 minutes late, but we had wonderful communication via WhatsApp with Secret Tours and guide Jolitta to meetup at the 2nd stop of the tour. Jolitta provided interesting history of the centuries old buildings and businesses, with generous tastings, bites, and lunch. This tour is well worth the price and small group size of 12 was delightful. We actually took the morning train from Munich and returned that afternoon, with the sole intention of experiencing this tour….and we are so glad we did!

Chocolate Walking Tour in Zurich

Perfect Blend of Old Town Zürich & Swiss Chocolate

We had just 24 hours in Zurich… My goal in booking this tour was to see the best parts of Zurich up close (for mom & dad) and to sample the worlds finest chocolate (for my 3 teen/preteen daughters). Vanessa is an excellent guide, sharing interesting yet brief stories at each location and exposing us to various forms and flavors of the city’s best chocolate. I had been afraid my girls might get bored with the city history, but Vanessa connected with them and adjusted to ensure they stayed engaged. Highly recommended for families, or anyone who loves chocolate.

Zurich in a day, this is a must!

My husband was in Zurich for business and I tagged along this trip. I was here for one day and wanted to get a feel of Zurich. This excursion definitely fit the bill! Our guide was Greg and he was very knowledgeable and sprinkled his facts with humor. You see Zurich from many different vantage points. By way of the streets, the water and a mountain. It is a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle if you are doing this in the summer. I can’t recommend this enough!

Excellent city tour of Zurich

From our first moment meeting Alexander, he was friendly and welcoming. He took us to many unique and interesting places around the old city center and provided us with a wealth of historical information. I especially appreciated that he paced himself based on our questions and needs. If you want to see beautiful Zurich from a local’s perspective, we highly recommend going on this tour with Alexander.

Zurich walking tour

Nellie our guide knew so much history about Zurich. I had no idea what to expect but it was the perfect tour for us. We did a private tour so it was just the right pace. Recommend especially if you are not in Zurich for any length of time. FYI-There were a few hills and walking on cobblestones but nothing too strenuous.

It was a wonderful...

It was a wonderful introduction to the city. Our guide pointed out prominent sites & it was just the right amount of information; not overwhelming, but sufficient. His driving ability was superb as it was a very busy time in the city. I think any first-time visitor to Zurich would appreciate this tour.

Great day with Viktoriya!

We cannot say enough about our wonderful day with Viktoriya! She showed us so many highlights of Zurich plus some other sights we were not aware of. She knew the dates and historical details of the many places we visited, which we were not expecting, as that would be something you would normally only get with a tour guide expert. She has a contagious passion for Zurich that makes you, as a tourist, feel fortunate to be a part of. We enjoyed our day very much and highly recommend Viktoriya as a local guide!

Zurich: Guided Daytrip to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Interlaken

My husband and I took the Zurich: Guided Daytrip to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen & Interlaken on April 21, 2026, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully executed. Our guides, Jean and Renate, were exceptional both knowledgeable and engaging, striking the perfect balance between sharing insights and giving us space to explore. Their energy and professionalism made the day even more enjoyable. A special mention to our driver, Jimmy, who expertly maneuvered the bus through the narrow, winding mountain roads with confidence and ease. His skill made what could have been a nerve-wracking drive feel completely comfortable and safe. Grindelwald was absolutely breathtaking, and the Mount First gondola ride is an absolute must. The views are nothing short of spectacular; easily the most beautiful scenery I have ever experienced. Lauterbrunnen’s valley and waterfalls felt like something out of a postcard, and Interlaken provided the perfect complement to the day. If you’re considering this tour, don’t overthink it, book it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience some of Switzerland’s most iconic and stunning landscapes in a single day.

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.

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.
