Awesome Tour Of Zurich
Our tour today exceeded our expectations. Our guide Lino made our trip a memorable one. He was professional, enthusiastic, and attentive. He went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide/ experience. Grateful he was able to capture memories that we will have with us for a lifetime. 10/10

Like Touring with a Friend Who Knows It All
Lino was absolutely amazing! He made the whole tour feel so fun and effortless, like exploring with a friend who just happens to know everything about the place. He has the perfect mix of humor, stories, and insider tips that made the day extra special.
If you’re thinking of booking a tour—go with Lino. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave with memories worth way more than 5 stars.☺️💛

Come for the photos, stay for the hot chocolate!
Great way to see a bit of Zurich and also get some photos that aren't selfies. Had some great hot chocolate too with Lino. Definitely recommend!

Nice, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Lino
This is a must do activity, as you get to see the nice places you wouldn’t have managed on your own and taking nice professional pictures is an added bonus. And when I say professional we even had a drone shot. It was really nice. We actually went back to one of the restaurants he recommended and the food was superb.

Great tour!
I had an amazing time touring Zurich with Lino. I’m so glad I decided to book this tour. I learned a lot about Zurich and Swiss culture. The photoshoot was a lot of fun. We stopped for hot chocolate at a cafe with a beautiful display of chocolates and pastries.
Thanks for a great afternoon. If you ever find yourself in Zurich, it’s definitely worth booking a tour with Lino.

Best Decision to Book this Tour by Lino of Creative Tour
First time in Zurich and how lucky can one be to come across Lino of Creative Tour, a young , very professional and soft spoken young man. Booked last minute as I only have one day to explore Zurich and travelling solo, having a guide who knows Zurich well and take very nice photographs and even drone shots to document this short trip made booking this tour worth it. I book the customized tour and true enough he created a tour according to my interests, his knowledge of Zurich and Switzerland as a whole. I appreciated that we did this according to my pace and yet get to see the important sights. I appreciated that we were able to go to Rapperswil and get to see the sunset there too. Things did not end there as after the tour, I received my edited photos from him and his team too.
Definitely recommending this tour to you reading this and friends back home. And looking forward to joining another tour with them in the future!
