3.00The description is misleading. It describes a boat cruise, which is really just the public transit ferry. As a result, the boat was very full and by paying for a cruise, we severely overpaid when compared to a public transit fare. The Lindt pass was great b
A must do in Zürich!

5.00This was an amazing way to see the Lindt chocolate factory, a must do on my Zurich list. The communication from the operator was outstanding. I received detailed directions regarding the three parts of the trip (boat, tour, bus). I highly recommend this to everyone.
Great way to see Zurich...

A nice self guide half day out in Zurich

4.00This is a self guided tour offering a bundle of tickets you could buy for less solo. If you value time the surcharge isn’t bad. I skipped the boat ride to the museum/factory taking the tram/bus both ways. From the dock area get on bus 165 and get off at Lindt-Sprungli stop. Same in reverse to go back into the city. Breezed right in to the museum with the enter anytime ticket. The audio guide is essential to understanding what is going on. Plenty of tasting and sample opps and the smell is heavenly. At the end of the your a line backs up waiting to watch a Rube Goldberg like device spit outs out another free sample. Thankfully staff came to hand out the free samples to skip the wait. The shop at end of tour has every product they make-more than you’ll find in grocery stores here. I used CityMapper app to find the right team to the dock area. On the return i stopped at the main train station. HauptBanhof where the grocery stores are open on Sunday to do some shopping. Then hopped back on a tram for 2 stops to get to my hotel. Swiss public transportation is a real jewel-everyone should experience its clean, efficient and affordable rides that go everywhere around the city.
Enjoyable

5.00Great communication from the Viator team. The trip was amazing, we totally enjoyed the cruise along the lake to the museum which was very informative and lively to be able to try lots of chocolate. We were lucky as it wasn't to busy.

5.00The cruise was nice but we only took to go to the Lindt museum and then when we took it again just to cruise around it was closed
Public transport included

5.00The walk is very beautiful and very worth it. What was not well explained is that the transport ticket included in the tour is valid for 24 hours. This means that you can take any public transportation to get to the boarding pier or directly to the Lindt factory, and also return by any public transportation, be it by boat, bus, tram or tram and continue using public transportation until the end of the 24 hours, within the specified areas (the entire Zurich and the Lindt area).
