Enjoy beautiful old town, Zürich!
The guide, Anna, was so knowledgeable about the historical aspects of Zürich. I don’t think we missed a thing and even enjoyed a snack break with cheese and chocolates. What a beautiful city and fabulous guide!

From the description we...
From the description we felt we would be seeing a cheese shop, and chocolate shop instead we sat under a tree and received mini chocolate bars and a package of prepacked cheese from the grocery store. Extremely disappointed.
