A nice afternoon but felt like a very long tour but didn't see a lot. The team were lovely and very informed, the coach was comfortable as was the driving. It was disappointing that the cable car ride was substituted for a very basic 'train' ride to an average lookout on the side of a golf course with a 5 star hotel to look at (the Beverly Hills of Zurich the guide endlessly repeated), if the dates the cable car were being 'maintained' were shared on the tour information prior to booking that would be managed expectations, I would strongly recommend looking up the cable car website and finding out the 'maintenance period', I did this during the tour and it was very clearly out of action for most of March - my fault I guess for not thoroughly investigating prior to booking. Our tour was supposed to be an English speaking one however they blended us with another group so the poor guide had to say everything twice, it felt like things took twice as long and must have been exhausting for her. The 'ferry ride' was a 10min car ferry crossing...the one highlight was the unscheduled Lindt Factory visit, quick enough for some photos and shopping... I have done quite a few of these 'best of tours' throughout Europe over the past couple of weeks, this was not the best, but it wasn't terrible.
Elizabeth, our guide, was wonderful!! Thoroughly enjoyed this excursion…would definitely recommend it!!!
The tour was just ok for me. I have been to Zurich many times and thought this tour would give me some extra things to see that I haven't seen before. Unfortunately I was bored for most of the tour. The price of the tour does NOT reflect the worth of what was seen.. the cable car was cool, but i could have done it on my own for way cheaper, the ferry was alright, however the ride was too short and it didn't enhance the tour at all.. The whole tour could.have been done by public transport (Zurich has a great transport system) and you could have seen the same.things and places. I was quite disappointed in this tour. This tour was NOT worth the 122 $ canadian that I paid. I would not recommend it unless you just feel like sitting most or the time on a bus. It was actually quite.boring.
The tour was good. I liked being able to ride the bus while learning about the town and surrounding areas as it was raining during most of our trip.
Not a great tour overall. The walking tour we saw so little as guide had to give it in 2 languages- literally only walked around the block! Waste of time at cable car as was fogged in but given most time here. Otherwise just driven around on bus with so much missed as had to say everything twice!
