This was booked as a last minute tour because the kids suddenly decided they wanted the Lindt museum experience, on which, by then was already fully booked directly from the website. But anyway, the tour guide Giada was such a marvel tour guide. Her soothing voice will make you want to listen and as you listen, you get to learn things you never expected you wanted to know. The expected Lindt only tour became so much more exploring the very heart of Zurich up to the hills and other parts we never knew we could possibly reach on our own to the surprisingly nice and confortable lake cruise then to the Lindt museum. Definitely a must do for first time travellers if you want to know more about Zurich. It really paved way on what we eventually decided to tour back on our next couple of days.

Good overview of city and takes you to parts you might not otherwise see. Guide was fantastic. Boat trip was short, but worth it to get to Lindt.

Great tour. Daniel was excellent guide. Glad we got to spend as much time as needed at the Lindt factory.

We had a fabulous day even though it was foggy. Our lovely guide Krishmun passed on heaps of information even we couldn’t see things due to the fog. The Lindt museum is a must do. We had a wonderful day.

A great experience and starting point when visiting Zurich early on in the trip to get a general idea where everything is

This tour was a bit of everything. A great drive to see some Zurich landmarks, a lovely walk around beautiful Old Town, lots of interesting information, a leisurely cruise on the lake and an amazing visit to Lindt, with lots of tastings, and a visit to their museum. Also included a 24 public transport ticket. Definitely recommend it!

Give yourself plenty of time. We rushed the end of the tour and didn’t have much time at Lindt before we had to leave. Our guide was great.
