Family vacation
Our family only had 1 day in Zurich and the tour was a great introduction to the history of the city and the Christmas markets.

I liked the pace at which the tour's guide set the tour
I liked the pace at which the tour's guide set the tour. We saw a church which was built in the 9th century, an old botanical garden, the festive Christmas energy in the Paradeplatz and a local market themed around Christmas celebration.

Disappointed
Ok overall! Not worth the cost! While the title of the tour is “Christmas” related, there was not much there to show or visit! We asked the tour guide and he was not necessarily with it! S For 2 hours we just walked different streets… and a couple of Christmas markets - which we could have done on our own!
