Best part was the cable car. Views of Zurich were awesome. The tour guide was a little monotone and left the tour a little flat.

It’s informative and a nice day. Dress appropriately because the air conditioner in the bus is not great.

Mini tour of Zurich and its port, ferry trip to cross the lake, and cable car to Felsenegg

Very good experience despite the hot day it was. Very beautiful views and the cable car very pleasant and a very smooth feeling. The duration of this is 5 minutes or less. This excursion is recommended.
