    Great mix of activities that kept us engaged

    Vladimir was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept us on schedule. The tour was nicely broken up with walking, narrative bus rides, a great ferry ride that crossed the lake and the gondola ride with an amazing view of the Zurich metro area and the lake. I strongly recommend Vladimir.

    Great overview of Zurich.

    Terrific tour of Zurich and some of the areas around Zurich. Gave a good overview and some lovely sites of the city from outside the city. Our tour guide Marcel was knowledgeable and humorous. Francesco was a skilled driver and very friendly. We would recommend as a great introduction to the lovely city of Zurich!
