An incredible in depth walk of all of the key must see areas of Zurich. As an avid traveler I can tell you that David is the best of the best in this business. Very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Too many statistics.

Adrian N, Sep 2019
The guide, Greg, gave too many statistics. He hurried between sights, too fast for me to keep up. He ignored photographic opportunities. He spent most of the time on the wonders of Swiss achievements, rather than small anecdotes about the various buildings and sights that we passed.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Dear Adrian, Thanks for your feedback. It’s hard to believe that you had such a bad experience in Zurich. For small anecdotes, people are attending Stand-up Comedy Shows and for photographic opportunities, they are signing up for a Photo Tour or hiring a private guide. This is an introductory walking tour, to get familiarized with the city main attractions and afterward to explore it on your own. As we know, our guides are taking during the tour at least 15 breaks (5-10 min each) at different spots/sights and that's more than enough time to take pictures and to learn interesting facts about the Swiss history, culture, lifestyle, buildings and “wonders” that Switzerland successful achieved! We are sorry to hear that the deep knowledge of our guides means to you just “too many statistics”. But you should be aware that it was a group tour and the guide was trying his best to meet each one's expectations. Best regards, D. Orelli

A great way to learn about Zurich and the Swiss
