Not horrible but too many people and the bus tour format just isn’t for me. Now I know! Just for preference sake, smaller walking tours are a bit more interesting IMO.

The bus part was disappointing for us but others may have enjoyed it. There seemed to have been some Road diversions and we did not get to see much. The guide was nice and gave an interesting but very short tour. The walking tour was good but short. The cruise part was misleading in my opinion as the picture in this add shows a 3 decker boat but it was actually a commuter ferry, stopping in several stops. Overall it did not live up to our expectations, but would an average score as the tour guide was good.

My wife and I enjoyed this tour because it included three great ways to see Zurich: a bus tour, a guided walking tour, and a scenic boat ride. We thought the length was about right. We enjoyed the variety of sights and experiences. We only had one full day in Zurich, so this was the ideal way to see the highlights. We think this tour offers good value for the money spent.
