5.00Our tour guide was Teresa. She was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable about switzerland and just did a great job making the tour fun. The only thing is I wished there was a cheese tasting apart from fondue. Thats just my personal preference though. Overall, I highly recommend going on her tour.

4.00Jolita was a perfect tour guide. She’s so friendly and understanding. Gonna give her 10/10 point for her professionalism and care. Very nice in hospitality and service. Yet, the tour quality is like… just ok. It would be better if we could try more foods/drinks because I feel like it’s not enough regarding diversity (not quantity).
Amazing experience!

5.00All the food we tried was delicious. Our guide was very friendly. I was surprised the tour was still happening with it being the day after Christmas and most shops/restaurants being closed, but really enjoyed it.
A great way to experience Zürich!
