    Jonas was fantastic, he was very informative, showed us the Lindt museum then took us on the ferry ride on the Lake Zurich and then showed us how easy to use public transport around Zurich.He even gave us ideas of other places to see and how to get there.He was an excellent guide

    This tour is a complete scam. I have a disability and searched for a private tour and this came up. I was going with our daughter for her birthday. The tour description states that hotel pick-up is available. At the time I booked the tour, I used the drop down menu to select I was staying at a Zurich Airport Hotel. The screen I booked on actually populated the hotel when I booked the tour. I was told and understood I had within 24 hours of the tour to cancel at no charge. Prior to the charge, I sought out multiple times where we were going to get picked up...assuming we'd have a car or transportation picking us up. If you read earlier reviews, you'll see this hasn't just happened to us. When I didn't hear anything, right away, I wasn't too concerned...but after I was charged, proceeded to ask again. No response until the evening before the tour began and within the cancellation period window. Rather than answer my first inquiry about this question, the tour operator did not respond to my question on the La Vacanza Travel website, rather directed me to email her at her email address...which I did. Both times, the email was rejected. I wrote to La Vacanza Travel and explained I just needed an answer and the email provided did not work. The tour operator typed her wrong email address (intentionally or not intentionally...I don't know)...but when I wrote and said the email provided to me to respond was rejected, she stated I should have compared the email to her signature block or an email from April. I don't think that's fair. I was responding from a phone and had no reason to believe the email she typed was wrong. Then, she waits until after the cancellation window to respond when I reached out to La Vacanza Travel. She complained I shouldn't have assumed there was a car and that they don't pick people up at the Zurich Airport Hotels. I noted that our hotel was listed at the time of booking and she should have said something then. She blamed La Vacanza Travel. The reality, I cannot walk long distances and already had a rail pass. If in fact they didn't have hotel transportation, she should have let me know from the get go. Additionally, she complained she was stuck with the tour tickets. Given her lack of responsiveness to my multiple attempts to clarify transportation, I said I just wanted a refund. When she continued to say she was out the money for the chocolate class, I said I'd take just those tickets and do the tour ourselves. She never responded and this was late evening the day before the tour. I reached out to La Vacanza Travel the next day and explained the situation and they said they would reach out to the tour operator. The chocolate making class tickets were literally delivered to me 45 minutes before the class in email and in insufficient time to make use of them. I have to contact my credit card company now to dispute this issue because La Vacanza Travel failed to follow-through on the issues even though it's well documented in their system. I have emails from the tour operator that substaniate the issues, tone she took with me, and lack of timeliness. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BOOK WITH VIATOR OR THIS TOUR OPERATOR.

    Horrible! Canceled with less than 24 hours notice, no reason given and it's still available to book, but is now 400 dollars more. Buyer Beware, not good for travelers who have little time in Zurich!

    Jonas was a great tour guide! Be ready to walk a bit to get from the train to the factory and factory to the boat, but then you get to see more of the area! This is a good tour to do right when you get to Zürich because your tour guide will tell you all about the area and places to visit in addition to the tour!

    We had a great time touring a piece of Zurich with our guide, Jonas, who was very knowledgeable about Zurich, as well as the rest of Switzerland. The chocolate workshop was a lot of fun.
