Fantastic tour and tour guide! This tour takes you all around the main parts of the city, up to a few great views above the city and in the mountains, and finally on Lake Zurich. Great tour to get a wide view of the whole city and to help you shape the rest of your vacation. Konstantin was a fantastic guide - super knowledgeable about the country and so friendly and funny! My mom and I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Constantin was a great guide and had/shared a lot of knowledge about the Swiss culture. He was also very personable which was a plus. Anyone who watched Saved by the Bell during their childhood is cool guy to me! 😎
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and our conversations. And yes, Saved by the Bell fans are always welcome! 😎

What an unbelievable tour, full of many experiences. There’s a lot of walking 13,000 plus steps and lots of hills but well worth it. He was very aware of people’s physical abilities and adjusted the pace accordingly.
Constantin’s passion for Swiss culture is reflected in his presentation. He pointed out, hidden gems and took us places where you wouldn’t normally go.
If you have one day in Zürich, I strongly suggest this tour. It’s a very well-rounded tour and is true to the itinerary.
He deserves more than a five star rating.

This tour was a great way to take in a variety of sights in Zurich while getting to experience many of the great forms of public transit (train, boat, cable car, funicular). The guide was excellent and had great local knowledge of the city, history, and local culture. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone with a short stay in Zurich looking to maximize their time there, and it's also a great first day activity for longer stays because it will give you a nice overview of what the city has to offer to help you plan your future activities.

Constantin
Constantine, our host, was amazing and made the experience everything I was looking for, and more! He was super friendly and made the seven of us on the tour feel welcome and helped us all get to know one another. He was able to make the tour very personal and I never felt like I was being rushed to finish looking at one thing before moving to the next.
We got to see so much of Zürich in six hours that it made great use of my one day here. We also got to walk, ride a preambular, a tram, a train, a cable car (gondola) and a boat! Another the only mode of transportation we didn’t use was flying or riding a bike!
The views and lunch at the top of the mountain was the icing on the cake
10/10 would recommend!

We did a lot of walking (as well as tram, bus, boat). We liked that it was an active tour without being exhausting. We received a good orientation to Zurich while learning about some history and the city as it is todayl Our guide, Constantin, was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly and we could understand him very well. Glad that he was our guide.
