Traveler reviews
Trip was ok, but not interesting + ferry was cancelled but no option for us to cancel.
Unfort the trip & guide were not very interesting for us & not what we paid for. The ferry part was cancelled due to low water levels & we werent notified till on the tour, & given no option to cancel. To compensate they took us to Lindt factory + free chocs instead - which was nice gesture, but not what we wanted.. which was the ferry ride around Zurich. The Felsenegg cable car was also v.short, & while nice views there was nothing much else up there. Zurich tour was unfort not v.interesting.
Zurich tour
That it is dual language. So you will listen to the tour in English then again in another language everyone understood English but 4 people . I felt he could have given more information about the hat we were seeing if he wasn’t repeating it in two langhages
An afternoon to see Zurich
It was a great tour even without the boat ride as the water l cell was low. Fernando is a very good guide, and the bus driver was amazing with a few inches to spare. I would take the tour again.
Nice day out in Zurich
Great tour and many thanks to our guide Rafael, very professional and supportive, telling us some interesting stories about Zurich.
it was good. we were...
it was good. we were looking forward to the cruise on the lake which did not happen because of low water. We booked the night before. I feel we should have been told about the low water situation.
