The tour guide provided exceptional guidance, however, the audio narration was excessively lengthy, occasionally causing a loss of focus.

The tour was a good way to see the high points of the city. The boat ride was pretty. I expected a little more of the chocolate tour, but it was good and worth seeing. Our guide Sarrine was very good; she was knowledgeable and very helpful.

It was a really well run tour and I learnt so much about Zurich. The only down side was the actual tour in Lindt, it was nice but limited taste testing.

Perfect way to see Zurich overall! We had a chocolate appetizer before lunch at Lindt! Be ready for a lot of samples! Daniel (our tour guide) was funny and super knowledgeable about everything Zurich! 😁

Knowledgeable guide, hit all the highlights, including Lindt & lake cruise. Lots of easy walking. Good photo ops.

The guide was excellent. Her patience and information was knowledgeable and informative. As any good guide, she shared hikes, history, and insights. My only criticism is the vagueness of tips since the timing of locking up my belongings before I thought to say good bye. It would be helpful to have a post event email with the ability to add a tip like Uber does. The tour was very interesting. It was easily an hour and a half to see all of the factory. The shopping and cafe were pleasant. I ate more chocolate than I should have. The ferry was delightful. It would be helpful to know that there are options for the 90 minutes or 40 minutes. It’s a beautiful tour, the glass of wine or cup of tea was a great way to finish the day. So the range of time is 5 hours to 7 1/2.hours. Thank you for a delightful afternoon.

We loved it. We enjoyed the various types of transportation. There was a lot of really neat history about Zurich and ending with the Lindt Chocolate factory was fabulous!!

Taiana was an excellent guide and explained everything in detail so we knew what to do at different points in the tour. She was also very helpful for me when I lost my ticket for the boat ride. I loved the initial bus tour portion as it took us to a beautiful part of town with lots of nature and lovely architecture and scenery. The Lindt tour was neat, with the cafe being the highlight of that part of the experience- definitely recommend the Lindt style Dubai icecream

Giada was a wonderful tour guide! She was very professional, full of knowledge, and made sure that everyone was comfortable on the tour. I highly recommend this tour as it was done very nicely with the boat ride and a walk-through town by the factory.
