    Wonderful Guide and Tour

    Theresa was an exceptional guide. She was friendly, charismatic and very knowledgeable. Tour was great! Included shops at Chocolate shops, lots of history and ferry ride across a portion of Lake Zurich. We would highly recommend this tour and our specific guide. 10 out of 10.

    Zurich chocolate

    It’s a fabulous introduction to Zürich. Unfortunately, not good for someone who might have back issues and be unable to walk.

    Too fast paced

    Felt rushed the entire time with target goal set by tour guide to get to boat by a certain early time to get a better seat. Cruise was a respite from walk but otherwise little gained knowledge or value.
