Zurich in fall

Great tour. Good way to see the city. A little history and pretty sites. It lasted about 4 and 1/2 hours but was interesting and a great way to see this beautiful city. The boat ride was short, but nice. The view from the cable car was also nice.

A GREAT walk around historic Zurich

Published on Oct, 2022

Our tour guide Greg was very knowledgeable, and conveyed his love for Zurich to our group. Not only did he share the historical facts, there was also some trivia that he interspersed with the tour to keep it interesting. It was paced well, and without an overload of information to make you want to jump ship! It was a great time spent!
