“Honestly, the tour is okay. The audio does not sync up with what you're seeing. The last part of the journey which is triain to "top of zurich" isn't guided either.

I personally feel offended and do not expect this from a tour catering to international tourists. Overall experience 4/10.”

I was complementing the author every time I would see people trying to understand a monument that I just had a detailed account. I discovered one tip more:the Historical Museum isor free for the last hour of the day. I don't knownout others,…”
