Goid to do in short visit

Published on Oct, 2024

Our guide was great. Told lots of history. The bus took us all over the city. We stopped in town for a short walk and stops to listen to guide. He walked us to the boat where we could use the app to listen to tour info. This was a water taxi boat, not a tour specific boat but it was good.

Good job!! Covered the highlights of the city, and enjoyed the lake cruise. It’s worthwhile if you are new to Zürich. Felt like I knew how to get around.
