Wonderful trip. Monica was such a good tour guide. I highly recommend doing this tour when in Zurich
Patricia_J, Sep 2026
There is a 30 minute walk through Die Alt Stadt . In the description of the tour I had , it said that we would drive by , and be able to get out and take pictures . Description of tour said 30 minute boat ride . It was only 20 minutes . The hand held guides at Lindt weren’t always working .
Michael_V, Sep 2026
Very blah. Tour guide read from a sheet. Sat in a big coach 1/4 filled maneuvering through tight streets. Guide tried but just was boring. She read from a paper. Chocolate tour was better - but they drop you off and you grab an earpiece for the tour.
Julie_S, Aug 2026
This was your basic tour of Old Town and then a boat to the Chocolate museum which was great! A confusion about boat times made us miss the boat back though and we had to find a bus back.
Tonya_E, Aug 2026
The Lindt Factory was the star of this tour. We really didn't get much out of pointing to things through the bus window. We did like the boat ride back to the pier.
Heather_B, Aug 2026
Enjoyed the cruise and Lindt, however there was a walking part and then walking to the cruise which was not mentioned.
Bernard_R, Aug 2026
It was a great day. The perfect way to get to see Zurich when on a time crunch. Roberto was a fantastic guide
Mitra_R, Aug 2026
Please don’t take this trip. Our guide tour was horrible and late also. No microphone. You can’t communicate with guide if you get lost.
Terrible experience. Waste of money. Our guide tour name was Verena. Verena was terrible.

Was a very hot day in Zurich which started on a bus with no air conditioning and no windows to open. The bus was blowing air that was warm, we couldn’t listen to the guide or concentrate on what she was saying because we were just trying not to pas out in the heat (it was over 90F this day. Not sure why they didn’t use a bus with air conditioning, but it made us hot and tired from the beginning of the tour and we only got some relief later on at the Lindt factory. The guide (I think her name was Angela), was nice and knowledgable. I did a similar tour with Viator two years ago which was a bit better than this- we had more time in the old town with more information and a direct boat which didn’t make as many stops. Overall this tour was just ok
Cherita_C, Aug 2026
For those booking the optional Fifa tour, 1 hour @ Lindt is not enough time as the Shopping experience takes a lot of time.
Thankfully the guide advised how to get back to the initial boat stop as when it as time to leave Lindt, I couldn't find him to get on the bus with him.
Joyce_H, Aug 2026
A good balance - walking tour of old town Zurich, a boat ride on the lake and a tour of the Lindt Factory.
Katrina_E, Aug 2026
This is NOT as advertised and prepare to be underwhelmed. No AC on the bus - and note - the bus will be at least two hours of dreadful heat and a tour guide who can’t explain anything about the city. Save your money! Scam!!!!!!
Jeff_H, Aug 2026
Bus ride was hotter than outside the bus. The bus trip was too long and somewhat pointless. City walking tour was rushed - about 15 minutes. Tour guide began all addresses before the group behind her could catch up. She did not count the group or otherwise attempt to account for all participants as we walked. No instructions on how to proceed with audio devices in Lindt tour. Bottom line- waste of money, practically a self guided tour.
Christa_S, Aug 2026
It was value for money. The guide and the driver were super!
The Lindy experience was really worth it!
Lucretia_T, Aug 2026
Great tour! The guided tour as we drove n rode on the bus to our destinations was nice. The boat trip was nice on Lake Zurich, was nice, beautiful day for a boat ride although a a very warm day. The Lindt chocolate factory tour was nice-I loved the tasting stations. Robert was very informative and talked individually to each customer to make sure they were ok. Those of us who were unsure how to get back to Zurich HB , Robert gave us a time to meet and bought us back to the station. Great tour!
Natalia_K, Aug 2026
Great tour guide , Natalia was very organized and informative. Good way to see a city and have a tour of chocolate factory

I am so pleased that I signed up for this Best of Switzerland Tour. It made my Zurich stay much more meaningful. I especially appreciated the drive throughout the city which gave me a better perspective on the whole of Zurich rather than just Old Town. Seeing the city on foot, by bus, boat and train also added another enjoyable dimension to this tour. Our guide what especially pleasant and shared interesting details of the sights we passed throughout our tour. And of course, what could be better than a sweet, chocolatey ending at the Lindt Chocolate Factory.
Purva_C, Aug 2026
The city tour and the lake Cruise was not great. Also too much walking for the elderly. Time constraint. Rushing. Just buy the chocolate factory ticket separately and save your money. Chocolate tour at Lintd was great.
Julianne_T, Aug 2026
the tour guide was nice but the bus was horrific. it was like a burning oven and i was being roasted alive. not the way i want to travel. i'd rather have the tour guide give me a ticket and take a taxi to the chocolate factory.
Amy_C, Aug 2026
Fun day! Meeting place was easy to find. We got on the bus at 9a and stopped at to take pictures of beautiful scenery-by the lake, up the hill for great views, walked through part of Old Town then headed to the Lindt Chocolate tour, Once in Lindt, guide gave us tickets and you can do self tour w/ audio. No bags bigger than a crossbody purse can enter the museum. They offer free lockers and bathrooms were accessible. We had about an 1.5 hour so after museum we headed to the gift store to buy tons of chocolate then to the Cafe and got hot chocolate-tables to eat inside and out. Meeting place we all gathered and walked across street to take boat ride back to Zurich near old town. We had a choice of a boat ride-20 minutes or a scenic hour-whatever choice-got you back to Zurich near old Town-Guide was great and informative. The transportation ticket was validated to use for 24 hours. Definitely worth it.
Rajani_T, Aug 2026
Robert had great knowledge about Zurich on the tour and guided us very well to make the tour easy for us, except that it was a hot day to walk up and down the old town.
The tickets provided for all means of public transportation was very helpful!
Stella_B, Aug 2026
I went to 10am tour and our guide was informative, knowledgeable and funny
also. It was a great tour!
Jeffrey_B, Jul 2026
Great tour. Nice overview of Zurich. Guide was great. Cruise, chocolate museum and walking tour was highlights
Victoria_W, Jul 2026
A family group of 6, ranging from 11 years to 80 years and everyone enjoyed it! From the very start before tour began we had some questions these were answered v quickly. At the ticket desk lovely lady very helpful then our tour guide tomas was great!! Very easy to listen to and very knowledgeable. The bus was spotless the small city walk was accessible for all not too long, the boat was great and the lindt factory was brilliant although i think we ate too many samples! We chose to stay longer and come back on our own, tomas explained how to do this and it was very easy! We then made the most of our ticket and got the river boat too. It was a full day out but so well organised would highly recommend!
Vito_F, Jul 2026
You could do it yourself for cheaper, ..............................................................
Michael_L, Jul 2026
A bus ride. A brief walking tour. A 30 minute boat ride and then a visit to the Lindt Chocolate museum. After the museum, which really was the highlight of the outing, a public bus ride back to town. Our guide was very nice, but the tour was average.
Steven_D, Jul 2026
Don't do it. The boat apparently had issues and never showed up. No refund either. Paid a lot of money for a chocolate museum ticket and only a bus ride.
Pankaj_P, Jul 2026
Tour guide is really help full but I not suggest do that much time for city tour and boat beside chocolate factory all is waste time
Eric_K, Jul 2026
The tour was amazing and well worth the price and time. Our tour guide Annette was truly amazing. Sweet, knowledgeable and fun to be with. I highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Zurich.
Allan_R, Jul 2026
Great way to experience Zurich, including covering ground by bus, walking through the Old Town, a visit to the must-see Lindt Factory museum and a cruise on the lake. Excellent guide.
