This tour gave us the information we needed to orientate ourselves to Zurich and some of its history. We found out details we would never have known had we not booked on this tour. Ana was fab, friendly, informative and fun. The tour itself covered everything, tour of the city, ferry ride and cable car ride up to Felsenegg to some fantastic views. Just the right length at 4.5 hours and would recommend this tour to others. Good value for money

We had a short trip to Zurich and this was the best way to cover the most grounds. Antje was our amazing and insightful tour guide who spoke numerous languages beautifully. She also grew up in Zurich, so she offered facts and recommendations other tour guides may not have been able to. We traveled mostly via bus, with a 15 minute ferry boat and 10 min (up and down) cable ride. The city is breathe taking, I recommend this tour!

Marcelo was an excellent guide - informative, lively and responsive to questions and needs. This tour involved a bus ride through Zurich, identifying some key features and fascinating history, followed by a ferry ride and then the Felsenegg cable car. There was time for rest stops for photos, chats and even a snack at the top of Felsenegg.
