The great tour of Zurich was a great rip off. The guide was not knowledgeable and almost seemed bothered to be there. The bus route basically skirted the city. I've been to Zurich several times and there were major areas missed and or described incorrectly. The instructions for the return boat were brushed over with no specific instructions so we got on the wrong boat wasting an additional 2 hours Gray Line's competitors in Zurich are much better as we experienced during the remainder of our stay

Good trip, bus tour in Zurich about 20 minutes, our guide was nice and informative. On edge lake great scenery Drive to Rappersville . One hour rainy day at Rappersville . Then 2 hours back on ferry . Overall was what we expected.

The overall tour package was average, at best. The boat cruise was simply a two-hour ferry trip that enabled my wife and I to see the area from the water. As for the bus tour, even though the weather did not cooperate (it rained during the bus tour), my wife and I did not fault the tour for that. What we did fault them on was that there was a children's parade planned for the day our tour took place. Because of the children's parade, the bus tour was detoured away from the sights and areas we wanted to see. Obviously this children's parade was on the calendar schedule for some time. This was not a surprise to the tour company. Inside of informing us the regular bus tour would greatly be altered and giving us the option to pass on this tour package . . . OR . . . at least provide a discount on the tour price, my wife and I paid full price for something that we did not receive. We should have been discounted the cost of the tour, but we weren't.

Great trip but it needs to state that the boat ride is two hours. But the castle and the church were nice and Christmas markets.

Three of us signed up for this tour in September. We were lumped in with the Heidi tour. The actual Zurich part was minimal as we drove out of town. The tour guide was not quite as informative as we expected, for example he kept referring to the city of Rapperswil as the City of Roses but did not tell us why or how that name came about. He did not go easy on the facts and admiration for the tennis player Roger Federer, however. The kicker for this tour was that the boat ride back from Rapperswil was not a quick ferry ride but an actual two hour ride. No tour guiding on it as the tour guide split up from us as we arrived in Rapperswil so that he could conntinue with the Heidi group. We accidentally stumbled upon the beautiful rose garden that we presume is the namesake for the city, but no thanks to the guide. Would sorta not recommend, it´s good we like boat trips, but more info during would have been more appreciated.
