That it was canceled on me the day before, because they didn't have a guide. Booked in Italian, three days before there was no guide, offered in Spanish, the day before there wasn't even one in Spanish. And it wasn't a cheap tour, quite the opposite
Laura was an excellent guide with a lovely personality. She walked at pace that was comfortable. We saw several historical sites and the tour was not overwhelming. Perfect for our group.
The time and money spent on a 2 hour private tour with Alessia was worth it. She was very knowledgeable on Zürich and well prepared.
Our tour guide Laura provided a wonderful, informative and insightful tour of historic Zurich, from our Marriott hotel to the Lake and back. She pointed out the important landmarks, but also provided insight into daily life in Zurich. A wonderful way to spend the half-day we had in the City.
This tour was amazing. Alex was the best he was so intelligent, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Definitely would recommend this tour. Thanks Alex!!!
Very informative. Great history. Beautiful scenery. Can’t wait to visit Zürich again. We were very lucky with the weather.
Our guide, Laura, provided historical detail behind the buildings and landmarks we visited. Sh adjusted the pace to suit our needs. She even explained how to buy tickets for the tram for the next part of our journey. It was a wonderful experience.
Terrible!! The guide was a nice man who speaks two languages but not much English. Hardly knew anything about Switzerland or Zurich. All he was able to do was take us from one location to another without being able to tell us anything more. Halfway through we got fed up and discontinued the tour, as it was a complete waste of our time.

Anna was a wonderful guide who showed us around Zurich, pointing out historical sites, but also some of her favorite eating spots (great bratworst) and shops (chocolates to die for). She was a delight and made a rainy day fun with her sunny personality. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highy recommend it.
