    Feel cheated, victims of fraud, our day in Zurich ruined.wasted by

    The tour was declined. We were cheated by being declined after being charged. In the next tour the booking was a tour in a car - paid CHF 348 for 2 pax and the operator sent was for a 2 and a half hour walking tour. No refunds being given.

    Zürich City Walk

    This was a great way to see the city by foot with a local guide. Ana was knowledgeable of much of the history of Zürich so she made the tour interesting while seeing both the modern day and the old town side of the river. Regrettably we did this tour on our last day. I recommend you book on your first or second day so you can go to some of her recommended places and restaurants.

    Not a particularly informative tour

    Our guide was quite kind and provided good communication leading up to the trip. However, I was underwhelmed by our tour especially given the price we paid. Our guide simply walked us around the city, but didn't really have much information to share. I had hoped to learn much more about the city, its history, etc. The main positive was that it did orient me to the city.
