Zürich tour
Jessie B, Dec 2025
Our guide was wonderful. She was very nice and informative. We were a little jet-lagged so the boat tour was not as amazing as we hoped it would be. It required multiple stops as we moved around the lake. It provided a good overview of the old part of Zürich.

We appreciate your review and will be sure to share your kind words with the guide :)
Lovely day trip from Basel

This tour was very well organized and a great way to see Zurich in one day. The chocolate tasting was a highlight- delicious and fun! The city tour was informative, and the lake cruise was relaxing with beautiful views.

I loved this tour! Switzerland Viva Tours organized everything really well. Our guide, Marcela, was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. We didn’t feel rushed, and the chocolate stores were special and unique. There were plenty of options, and we tried many chocolates with different flavors. Zurich was impressive, so much history and a very elegant city. We highly recommend this tour!

We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour! Knowing that our guide and the organization met your expectations truly means a lot to us.
Half day trip to Zurich
jenniferlL7164WI, Sept 2025
We had some extra time and decided to go for this tour which we managed to do in less than half day. And it was perfect as we covered the city of Zurich, delicious chocolates and even a lake cruise with the beautiful Alps on the horizont. Unbeatable for that price!
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear Jennifer, Thanks again for sharing your experience. We would be delighted to welcome you again anytime.
