A sweet your for sure
Michael_G, Aug 2025
Lars was amazing. A bundle of knowledge including best restaurants and a leave no man behind attitude. Really enjoyed how fun he made Zürich and his insights. The walking tour was fun and a highlight. The boat ride and options were enjoyable and the chocolate factor was typical but still fun. Highly recommend for first time visitors.
