Beautiful Zurich

Published on May, 2024

This tour provided a wonderful overview of the city of Zurich and some of the surrounding areas. Our guide Hans was both informative and comedic as well.

Highly recommended!

The most impressing experience besides all of the fabulous sights of Zuerich were the professional and courteous attitude of the staff and the driver. Great job!

Well, as a big fan of this country and city, my review can be a bit biased! Beautiful places, a well guided tour and the boat cruise on the way back is the final touch for this very pleasant and relaxing tour. Highly, always recommended!
