Fabulous private tour - This experience was truly wonderful beginning with our Lindt factory tour in the morning, then a short boat ride and additional touring around the city and to the FIFA headquarters. My almost 80 year old mother particularly enjoyed it as we had the comfort of being in our own private car with air conditioning and could stop and go as we pleased.

Great overview and highlights of Zurich! - Celio was a wonderful guide! He was very personable and provided unique facts and insights about the city of Zurich and country of Switzerland. It was like touring the city with a local friend - taking in the sights, stores and everyday life of the locals. Thank you Celio for a wonderful time!

Great overview of Zurich sights - Celia was a great tour guide. Our group really enjoyed his insights and facts as we traveled around Zurich. The chocolate factory was is highlight as well as the view from the Dolder Grand hotel. Great overview for someone who cannot spend days touring.

Don’t buy this tour! - We wanted to visit all of the highlights of Zurich and learn about the city, because we have never been to Switzerland and didn’t know what to expect, but rather, we were met with a driver who didn’t seem knowledgeable about the city, didn’t take us many places, and rushed us from location to location. One thing in particular that bothered me was that the description said that there was a boat tour/cruise and it was really only a 10 minute boat ride to the chocolate factory. The only positive thing about this tour was the private transportation and the chocolate museum. Otherwise, spend your money elsewhere.
