1.City Tour, Cruise, and Lindt Home of Chocolate Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,624 reviews · 5.5 - 6.5 hours · from $103Our pick

Bus and boat highlights in Zurich, a guided Old Town walk, and Lindt Home of Chocolate with tastings, plus a 24-hour transit ticket.

“Enjoyed and a great way to visit the lindt home of chocolate. Booked it last minute due to not being able to find tickets. You get first into a bit coach and you get a good drive through the city. The guide give good and interesting information. Next we went to the harbour (could have been skipped 10min stop). Next we had a little walking tour. Really enjoyed it and the guide gave some great recommendations. Then we all boarded the boat and went to the chocolate factory. From there once you are given your tickets, it is free time. So I liked it.”

Once you’re there you have the option of meeting back up with the guide after, or taking your own form of transportation back into Zurich city centre (they provide you with a 24 hour transit pass).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 729 reviews · 3.5 - 5 hours · from $57

Zurich in a half-day combo: bus sights, a guided Old Town walk, and a 1-hour Lake Zurich cruise, plus optional FIFA Museum.

“Konrad was the perfect guide, funny, interesting, knowledgeable and very easy to understand. We were a small group of 11 in a minibus. Great overview of Zurich with lots of history, then a walk round the old town. Konrad recommended places to revisit and some decent eateries. We were left to walk by ourselves to the boat although pointed in the right direction would have been nice to be accompanied by our guide. Fairly easy to work out which boat to take when you got there, you can choose between three different time slots. Remember to download the ZSG tour app onto your phone before you go as this tells…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 217 reviews · 9.5 - 10 hours · from $80

Zurich to Lucerne day trip with guided orientation, 6 hours to explore, Chapel Bridge and Lion Monument, optional Lake Lucerne yacht cruise.

“What I liked about this day trip, was the fact that we not only learned about certain historic locations and things but general information about the place and the people. Economic status and other things. They made it a bit fun while giving us the information we needed. Made it better to retain some of it. 😁 The drive was very comfortable. Thanks to Francesco, Katarina and another person. Lost his name. So sorry. What I didn’t like, was the fact that there was no WiFi. Other tour buses I took, had WiFi. The fact that the driver was selling water and water is free around the city. Maybe the…”

11.The Great Tour of Zurich by Bus and Boat

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 105 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $82

Half-day Zurich bus and Lake Zurich boat ride to Rapperswil rose gardens, castle, and deer park. Air-conditioned and guided.

“I had only one day in Zurich, so I wanted to take a quick tour to acquaint me with the highlights of the city, a tour that would leave me with a little more free time to explore afterwards. This tour did just that. I appreciated that the tour moved pretty quickly through different spots, and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of scenery we ended up being to take in. The boat ride back was absolutely beautiful. For the price this was definitely worth booking, but I'd only recommend it if you have a full day, so that you can also do some more wandering and exploring afterwards.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 56 reviews · 3 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $59

Zurich highlights by coach, an Old Town walking tour, and a 1-hour Lake Zurich cruise, optional FIFA Museum ticket. Mobile, English.

“The guide was loud on the bus which was good when it came to the old town which she only walked us through one street we couldn’t hear her. We told her we couldn’t hear her and she said well that’s OK. The short time in old town maybe because the bus hit something during the driving part of the tour, which caused a small accident and our time was shortened After we walked to the dock and went on the boat ride, which is fine but the bus and the street tour was not what we expected. We felt cheated and it was not worth our money. I would…”
