Great experience - James was amazing and funny. He made the tour fun and was extremely knowledgeable. He even took a little time at the end to help us find the right place to have dinner.

Great tour - David was well organised including messages and a phone call before the day, he arrived at our meeting place right on time and was well prepared. The tour was great - we found David well informed on Zurich geography, history and culture and he answered all our general questions about life in Switzerland. The tour was really interesting, an easy walk and not too long. Coming from NZ, this was an ideal introduction to Zurich.

Booked a 1 hour tour. Was... - Booked a 1 hour tour. Was informed just beforehand that we were “upgraded” to a 2-hour tour and another group would be joining us. Well, we had dinner reservations and really weren’t interested in a 2-hour tour. And we never would have booked a non-private tour. We booked the private tour for a reason. I will never book through Viator again. They are awful. This is the 2nd time we were “double booked” for a private tour in just 7 days in Switzerland. Never again.
