4.00Guide was knowledgeable. Lindt Tour and cruise portion was fantastic. Would probably skip the bus portion if that were an option? A bit long.

5.00I recommend this tour primarily for their communication and customer service. Our family was traveling with 4 small kids and we were very excited for the itinerary ahead with only one day in Zurich. Unfortunately, after a significant plane delay, we missed the beginning time of our tour. I was hoping to still make the most of our time so I contacted the company via the help number listed and they were EXCELLENT communicators. They offered multiple meeting points where we could join this tour late, spoke great English, and were giving us nearly step by step instructions on which train to take. Every time we called back we got a great agent and they were aware of our situation and were trying to help with the upmost patience. Although we only experienced the final portion of the planned tour, I was so thankful they helped us navigate and enjoy the parts of Zurich that we still could. I credit our experience in Zurich to them and my payment to them gladly goes just for their support in personally helping us navigate. Thank you to your customer agents. This is a thorough itinerary for 5.5 hours in Zurich.
Great way to get an overview of the city

4.00We had only one full day in Zurich and this was the perfect way to catch the highlights and get a good overview of the city - the lake, the hillside, and the old town. Our guide was great. Personal preference, the Lindt Chocolate 'museum' was great, but too much time was allocated to it for me. It was the end of the tour so we could leave early and take the bus back to the old town. I would recommend it.
Wonderful tour of a beautiful city.

5.00Our tour guide Isabel was very knowledge about Zurich and made the tour a great way to see city highlights. I liked seeing so much of the city from bus, on foot, and by boat. The tour of Lindt factory was also very good, just don't try to listen to the entire audio tour or read everything. It's a bit of information overload and you won't have enough time to shop for goodies afterwards!
Great value for this wonderful tour!

5.00We booked this tour just the day before we took the tour. This was a great tour for the money. Wonderful tour of old town Zürich, Lake Zurich boat cruise, Lindt Chocolate Museum tour with lots of free sampling, and a return ride on a train. Our tour guide was very informative and happy to answer questions.
Bad Tour: Zurich Sightseeing & Ferry Ride

1.00Very poor tour lasting 5 hours and during which we stood outside in the cold, wind, rain , sleet and snow for half the time. The lake cruise was a joke and involved a 10 minute ride on a public transit ferry boat. Time at Lindt museum was too short for srlf-guided tour. No return trip to starting point...only offered another public transit ride on a tram THIS TOUR IS USELESS AND A WASTE OF TIME & MONEY! VEERY MISLEADING OFFERING! BEWARE!!!
Not really a chocolate...

3.00Not really a chocolate "factory", more of a museum and some chocolate history. Some free samples throughout, but one of the machines was broken.
Good trip

4.00Renate was amazing. Kind calm funny and friendly. The weather was awful and i have never seen so many difficult people saying they didn't want to do this bit or that bit. Just disappearing which is why rude when you have booked this trip. She was clear all the time with times people should meet yet we still lost people so it wasn't very nice for her. She handled it well. Her information on the bus was excellent and gave good information. The boat trip was good. For me the jury is out on the chocolate factory. Just boring listening to the recorders. I have been to better chocolate factories. And lindt make you feel like a criminal cause you can't take your bag in with you. Are you really going to pinch chocolate balls???? You are very clearly told take one of each only! An enjoyable day where we felt looked after by an incredible host.
A delight!
