    This was a great walking...

    This was a great walking tour (except for my bad knee!). We liked all the history and information that was told to us. The lake cruise was fun, and we got to see some beautiful homes.

    Walking Tour of Zurich

    very tired and of little content but the guide was super attentive to remove doubts. At the meeting I found that the guide was afraid to look for people
