Our private guide was Hilaría (Ilaria). She was beyond outstanding. We truly enjoyed our visit to Zurich and learned a lot of historic facts from her. We were traveling with my parents. My mom is 75 and needs frequent bathroom visits. Hilaría was extremely patient and helpful in this sense. She also adapted incredibly well to our 11-people group who consisted of members aged from 13 to 79 year olds.

Our tour guide, Peter, was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about Zurich, but he admitted, it was mostly from a business perspective and not so much historic or building focus, which was disappointing. He very much wanted to make our tour what we wanted, but he wasn't very organized and not at all as take charge as we are used to, as we are seasoned travelers who have used local tour guides extensively throughout Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal to mention a few). Even when we told him that we weren't interested in what he proposed, he still tried to get us to do that.
This is the first Viator tour in which we have been disappointed. We were looking forward to learning all about Zurich after having spent 8 days traveling the country in another tour, and were disappointed.
I don't think I can say whether or not I would recommend the tour to anyone else, I would suggest that you be sure your tour guide knows what you want to do/see and has an itineray set to make that happen.

I will never be booking with this company ever again. The texts sent to me from the company about fees when booking through Viator, that are out of my control, were very unprofessional and quite frankly unnecessary. One time, ok but three times? No. To add onto that our guide barely spoke English so unfortunately we could barely understand him and did not enjoy our tour. Yes, we are in a different country but if you’re a tour guide you should have some sort of ability to talk in English if the client speaks English which was mentioned we booking the tour. The tour guide was nice and if anything I felt bad for him having to try to speak English. We also booked a tour with them in Lausanne and when I texted the contact number on the ticket I received a text that said “I’m not the tour guide😂” then they asked if I received the info the sent me morning of, our travel agent booked it so I said no he said “these travel agents😂”. UNNECESSARY.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and flexible during the tour. It was a customized tour.
Great job!

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!

Andreas did a great job giving us a tour of Zurich. We had a private tour and he was flexible with what we wanted to see and do. He was very knowledgeable about the city. We were interested in city living in Zurich - costs and housing. He was happy to answer our questions.

Great tour to get to know the city better and get an understanding of some architectural highlights as well as how the city is used by locals

I had an amazing experience booking a last-minute private tour during my layover. The company was incredibly accommodating and personalized the tour to fit our needs. Anora met us directly at my location to begin the tour. She was mindful of our time, ensured we returned to the airport on schedule, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
