“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.

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 65 reviews · 4 hours · from $54

Audio-guided Zurich bus tour plus train to Top of Zurich on Uetliberg, with 11 languages, panoramic views, and easy logistics near Zurich HB.

“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 also want to highlight something which was said in the audio likening cows on roads in India to trams in Zurich. I personally feel offended and do not expect this from a tour catering to international tourists. Overall experience 4/10.”

9.City tour historic old town Zurich

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 38 reviews · 2 hours · from $49

2-hour small-group walk in Zurich Old Town with Einstein and Lenin stops, Fraumünster Chagall windows, cloisters, fountains, plus a quick Polybahn ride.

“The tour visited the significant historical sites of Zurich. The guide pointed out many details and her explanations were good. The tour is strenuous with hills and many steps. Our guide's pace was too fast (several people in our small group complained) and that made the walk more strenuous than necessary. If one stopped to take photos, you had to hurry to catch up because the guide kept going. We joked that she wanted to finish early to go home and, indeed, the "2 hour" tour was 1 3/4 hours. An extra 15 minutes of walking at a slower pace to enjoy the view would have made this tour better.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 12 reviews · 5 hours · from $497

Private Zurich half-day with guided Old Town walk, Lake Zurich cruise, and guaranteed Lindt entry, plus luxury Mercedes pickup and drop-off.

“This was a very pricey tour and was not worth it. The tour guide spoke halting English and just walked us through some parts of the Oldtown. Other than the majority of our time inside the Lindt Chocolote Museum and Cruise also on our own as the guide did not accompany us, it was mostly a private driver that picked us as the hotel and dropped us back with an hour and half walk. The tour guide also tried to rush us saying the tour was for only 4 hours and he needed us to come out of the Museum so he can drop us off at the hotel. I…”
