We had around 1hr 45 min at the top to do whatever we wanted and we didn't feel rushed at any point. We would do this trip again in the future hoping for no clouds.”

“Excellent way of seeing the city of Geneva. The little train went through the heart of the old city. The bus tour was great because it took us past all the interesting sites including UNESCO, UNITED Nations, Red Cross. It was very interesting and the English commentary was informative. It was great to have stops to see the broken chair and the flags lining the entrance to UNESCO. It gave us a great outline of Geneva so that we could explore on our own.!”

“The tour was absolutely fantastic. The bus ride was smooth, and our tour guide, Maggie, was direct and to the point with very clear directions. Our first stop to the chocolate factory was much more than we expected... My wife and I were stuffed from all the samples... the next stop to the Gruyère factory was very intriguing, and packed full of information. The restaurant they took us to for a fondue/food tasting was intimate. The medieval town of Gruyères is a definite must-see. You feel like you’re still in the 1500s. Overall, this has been one of the best experiences we’ve had.”

Zurich: Audio Guided City Tour and Train to “Top of Zurich”

/ August 6, 2026

14.Audio Guided City Tour and Train to “Top of Zurich”

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
