Reviews

Good overview of Zurich
Rachelle_S, 14-09-2022
Although I had found "Best of Switzerland" to be very organised with regards another trip - there did seem to be some technology issues on this day so they had no confirmation of my booking. I would advise turning up early in case of problems. The ticket office at the bus station is obvious but if arriving by train the railway station is a bit confusing with many exits and there is construction work at the moment.

The tour gave a good overview of Zurich. There was a bus tour for a couple of hours, including the financial district and University district and a photostop by the Lake and at a viewpoint in the University district. There was NO cogwheel train option which had been advertised in the description when I booked. The guide gave an orientation tour of the old town - approx 15-20mins walking on cobbles. There was no free time, but the main churches were pointed out and helpful information was given if you wanted to return later to look in more detail.

Within the group some people were doing just the bus tour; some people added on an hour round-trip lake cruise and others had a 30mins boat trip to the Lindt factory. i would recommend adding on the chocolate option. The guide was very good at explaining the logistics of each tour.

Guests caught a boat at either 12.30 or 12.45 (just to note this was the first opportunity for a toilet stop following a 10am start). You may want to bring a snack with you although the boat does have a bar selling snacks, there isn't time for a big lunch.

For those doing the cruise and chocolate option you have an ~30mins boat ride to Kilchberg and the factory is a ~5mins walk from were the boat drops you off. you get ~90mins at the Lindt chocolate factory with a tour they set up two years ago, with information on the history of chocolate and the production process. there is plenty of information to read in german and english, and an audio guide in multiple languages. there is also plenty of opportunity for tasting the chocolate. There is a very good shop as well. The guide accompanied us on the public bus and tram back to the main railway station - but you could decide to stay there longer; get the boat back etc (you are given a 24hr travel pass).

A good overview of Zurich.
