“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.”

“I bought 3 tickets but until 5 minutes before the entrance they sent me only one saying they had problems and advising me to take a walk to the Lindt shop as it was free as an alternative to the museum. Tickets on the spot were finished, after explaining what happened that we came from Italy specially the attendants were courteous me they gave two for my daughters otherwise with only one I would not have entered. At the moment the amount refunded (2 out of 3) is partial. Bad experienceAuto-translated”
