The tour itself started on a bus that had a very poor tour guide (a mature-aged woman with bright red hair) who just read to us for the first hour on the bus with no engagement or connection with her group. When we stopped for the walking tour in Lucerne, she spoke just loud enough for the 10-12 people right around her, and the rest of the 20 or so in the group were unable to hear her. At the harbor, we asked to confirm our plans at the Lindt factory, and she looked at my girlfriend in disgust and said, "I just explained it to everyone! And I also said it on the bus, were you not listening?" I intervened and asked her not to be impatient, and she snapped back, "I AM NOT BEING IMPATIENT. I HAVE BEEN A TOUR GUIDE FOR SIX YEARS AND KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!" My sister also intervened and told her she WAS being very impatient. I then replied that it should be ok for a customer to ask a question and be able to get a reply. Later, at the chocolate factory, she gave us all tickets to enter. My sister's ticket was not scanning. We all tried several times and it would not open the gate. We asked our guide for assistance, and again, in disgust, she said, "THE TICKETS ALWAYS WORK." She grabbed the ticket from my sister's hand and scanned it, and of course, it didn't work. She tried again several times, and still did not work. And then she brought her ticket out of her pocket and scanned my sister in. Having traveled throughout the world on many trips, excursions, cruises, and much more, in almost every case, we have always been served by people who love what they do and serve their customers on a high level. This was not the case with this tour guide, which was quite disappointing as we planned on a wonderful day in Zurich, which we enjoyed the best we could in light of the poor service we experienced.

It was a very good tour. The Lindt chocolate factory is a must in Zurich and the short cruise on the lake was a nice touch. I would love to do more of a walking tour through old town.

Getting to the pickup point was easy and your staff both at the ticket booth and the tour guide were phenomenal. We did way more than what we expected and it was an incredible excursion. Thank you.

Would definitely stay again. Already planning on it. Complimentary locker for valuables. Good wifi. Great location. Very close to everything. Right next to Lake Zurich. 15 min walk (flat) to train station. Staffed. Front door locks after 10pm, get in with keypad code. Showers, mirror in room as well as wall plug for charging.
