Maybe if they did those in the morning and we could have seen the process it would have been interesting. Overall the driver was OK, he gave information when asked but I didn't appreciate the various lectures on our time, when we were a few minutes late due to the events lines. And stating he gave us extra time that only 45min were allocated for the chocolate, 1 hour was allocated and no extra time was given except the 5 min we were tardy due to the events slowness. Also,…”

“Our tour guide, David, was a pleasure and the excursion was well worth the price. He picked us up at our hotel, which was very convenient, and took us to Zurich University. There was a beautiful view of the city from the university. He then gave us a short walking tour of old-town Zurich. After we walked through old-town, David led us to the ferry on Lake Zurich and told us to get off the ferry at the second stop.

“We are very thankful for Marc he was very warm hearted and calm and gave us a good introduction to Zurich. We especially enjoyed the picnic at the Lindenhof Hill, enjoying organic food and Swiss Raclette made by him especially for us. He introduced us to the best luxury chocolate which we would never learn about had we not taken the tour. We learned alot in this tour. Marc gave us confidence to go around on our own and even gave us pointers for the rest of our vacation.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
