Outstanding walking tour of Zurich today with a fun bunch of people! Funicular to Polyterrasse, cruise on Lake Zurich, learned about clocks, Swiss bunkers (Google it!), chocolate, cheese, rode trolleys, the cable car, and we hiked to Felsenegg. Phew. The experience was much more extensive than we expected! Greg was an excellent guide, highly recommend!

Perfect way to see Zurich by foot, boat, train, and cable car. Greg was a wonderful guide because he shared information about sights, history, transportation with a sense of humor. Bonus- he gave each guest a chocolate as a souvenir. We had a day in Zurich and we left the tour with a good sense of the city, the citizens and history of the country. We enjoyed walking in old town, seeing a Roman fort, Lake Zurich and Felsenberg. The ferry ride was beautiful. We took a cable car after the ferry to a local park with spectacular views of Lake Zurich. Highly recommend this tour.

Keith_R, Sep 2026
Expect some changes to the itinerary due to water levels w/ the ferry. Also the order of the 3-in-1 tours, may change due to the low water. What a great way to see the city- is good for those who haven’t ever been to Zurich.

Amazing value!

Claudia_T, Sep 2026
This was a fantastic multifaceted tour and we learned and saw so much! Greg was absolutely outstanding! Very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Lots of walking.

Awesome 3 in 1 tour of Zurich Switzerland

Michael_C, Sep 2026
Our guide Michael was amazing, he was very knowledgeable of the city of Zurich being a resident there, providing us with the history of this incredible city. We started our day with a walking tour for approximately 2 hours covering many interesting areas where we took several types of public transportation to get to our different destinations. We then made our way to Lake Zurich where we boarded a public ferry and took a leisurely 1 hour cruise around the lake and rested our legs. From there we traveled by cable car to the top of the city where we were able to grab some lunch while enjoying the amazing views of Zurich. Highly recommend this 3 in 1 day trip

Great tour!

Rachael_S, Sep 2026
If you've only got one day to roam around in Zurich, this is a great day tour to take it all in and see the city. Greg was a super guide!

A great way to explore Zurich and learn so much!

Roland_S, Sep 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour of Zurich today! We covered an impressive distance on foot plus train and tram rides, a sightseeing boat ride and a trip up a mountain on a gondola. Learned much historical info and captured a ton of great photos around the town and the surrounding valley. Special thanks to tour guide Michael - he was outstanding and very organized!

Diane_G, Sep 2026
Greg was a great guide. Funny, yet informative. Very attentive to the needs of everyone in the group.

The perfect day tour of Zurich

Christy_W, Sep 2026
This is a great way to get the feel of Zürich. The walking tour was full of info- we learned some really fun and unexpected facts about the city. A beautiful boat ride on the lake and then a trip up the cable car. Our guide was friendly and very fun, hopefully you are lucky enough to have Gregory as your tour guide. I really appreciated the detailed directions for finding the tour start and the guide. Met a group of really nice people on the tour as well. Would 100% recommend this tour.

Beautiful learning

JoyceM_W, Sep 2026
This tour moves fast and you will, too. But there is enough time in each part to see, learn and enjoy.

Fadi did an amazing job. The tour was very interesting and entertaining! Highly suggest you take the tour you won’t be disappointed.

Greg is a Tour God

Alan_P, Sep 2026
This type of tour’s success depends on the tour guide’s imagination, planning and ability to engage participants - Greg was all of that. We toured the old town first learning many interesting things about city history and Swiss culture. A nice break was a ferry tour of the lake followed by a train to a cable car where the view of the city, lake and countryside was amazing. It was a very full and interesting 6 hours.

Zurich the tour you must do on arrival!

Vanessa was an excellent guide - really knowledgeable and made the tour very entertaining as well. Courteous and friendly - the tour was excellent and seemed to fly by!

Highly recommend!!!

Mark_M, Aug 2026
I was doubtful when I read all the great reviews but after taking the tour with Greg I can confirm that this is an amazing tour. He’s a very good guide, speaks good English and has a sense of humor. The photos on his iPad were very helpful. As mentioned before, this is a fast paced tour with considerable walking that includes inclines/declines and cobblestone roads. Highly recommend!

The Best tour guide.

Angelita_W, Aug 2026
One of the best tours I've experienced. It was about 8 of us on the tour. Our tour guide was very friendly, patient, communicate well and just let us feel so at ease. He did not hesitate to answer any questions that was asked of him. I will book with him again anytime we travel to Switzerland. He's the best.

Flavor of Switzerland

BHAVYA_C, Aug 2026

Great comprehensive tour

Ela_L, Aug 2026
Really good comprehensive tour with a friendly, professional and knowledgeable guide (Greg) We saw a lot, and the pace was good Ferry ride was beautiful Only suggestion for improvement: make meeting point clearer - it didn’t state in the confirmation that we needed to meet by the museum sign so everyone in the group was scattered around. In addition it would be helpful if the tour guide had some sign/lanyard to identify her-/himself so people can look out for them

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for the feedback. We are, however, a little surprised by the comments regarding the meeting point and guide identification. The booking ticket clearly indicates the meeting point: the vertical LANDESMUSEUM panel in front of the Swiss National Museum. It is not hidden in fine print or written in invisible ink — it is clearly stated on the ticket. We strongly recommend reading the meeting instructions carefully before joining a tour. As for identifying the guide: all our guides are carrying an iPad displaying the names of the guests. We are genuinely curious what could be a clearer way of identifying the guide than a person standing at the designated meeting point with a device showing the group’s names. We also spoke with Greg, who mentioned that several guests were sitting at the museum café. Just to clarify: the café is not the meeting point. And, as a general rule, if you have booked a tour, the departure time arrives, and you don’t immediately see your guide, the reasonable thing to do is to stand up, look around the designated meeting area, and check the surroundings. Remaining comfortably seated in a café and waiting for the guide with a red carpet to somehow locate you is, unfortunately, not quite how group tours work. The tour itself was described as friendly, professional, knowledgeable and well-paced, and we are very pleased that you enjoyed the experience overall. We simply encourage future guests to follow the clearly stated meeting-point instructions — it makes the beginning of the tour considerably easier for everyone.

Best tour I’ve been on yet!! Hard to top Greg!
