Good way to spend an afternoon
Azizah-
, Sep 2021
A memorable tour . It was a wonderful way of getting to know some history of Zurich . The trip is on bus and takes u around Zurich city , followed by a small half hour trip on a ferry in lake Zurich . One tip don’t order drinks on the ferry they are ridiculously priced The tour ends with a visit to the Lindt factory which is lovely. You don’t have to do the special Lindt factory tour which has too much unnecessary info . Whereas with this tour u enter the premises and can do the tour yourself which is good enough This tour includes the ferry ticket and the entering to the Lindt factory

Do not go on this one
Linda_V
, Aug 2021
The buss was full of noisy passengers. We couldn't hear our guide and the guide made no effort to quiet the passengers so she could be heard. The bus driver didn't know where to go so the guide needed to correct. him. The guide did not enforce the mask mandate and continuously apologised for a street that was closed. It was so unpleasant that we go off early.

Dear Linda_V Thank you very much for joining one of our city tours and for having taken the time to review your experience. We are truly sorry to read that the tour did not meet your expectations and that several factors have led to you leaving the tour early. While we would wish that all participants respect the rules of conduct on a shared group tour, it would have been the tour guide’s duty to respectfully remind passengers to avoid noise during the tour to make sure everyone feels comfortable and can hear the comments during the tour. Due to unexpected high traffic in the city at the end of summer vacations and constantly changing construction works, it was a challenge for both guide and driver to operate the tour as per the standard itinerary. We sincerely apologize for the amended itinerary. Our tours are operated under an approved safety concept which includes the obligation of wearing masks while onboard the vehicle and hand disinfection by dispensers and individual wipes. All our guides are familiar with the procedures and it is their duty to announce the measures at the start of the tour and announce reminders throughout the tour, just like wearing the seat belts. We have already addressed this important matter with our tour guide and the whole team to make sure the procedures are enforced and followed thoroughly. It is a pity that you did not get to enjoy the relaxing boat ride on Lake Zürich as well as the visit of the new Lindt Home of Chocolate with admission to the chocolate museum as we are sure that these activities would have been a positive end of the afternoon. We hope that you have enjoyed the rest of your stay in Switzerland and would be happy to welcome you again on our tours to convince you of the high-quality standards we usually stand for. Kind regards Best of Switzerland Tours

Good coverage but a lot of idle time and chocolate shop is a joke
pratikshah9
, Aug 2019
It was a good coverage of the city from the coach and informative. However, there was a lot of slow waiting around for almost an hour which could have been saved for us to use in the city to shop before the shops close. Also the trip to the Lindt chocolate shop was a waste. Just a shop next to the factory and much more expensive than what we have here in the same shop in UK. You would expect the factory outlet to be cheaper if anything.

Not worth it
Sitadaya D
, Aug 2019
Zurich is very small , you can do the tour on your own and the chocolate factory is free to enter. You can also buy a all day transportation pass and includes the boat ride . That's why is not worth it. You can do it all for less money and at your own time

Way too high price, it's very easy they can reduce the tour prices, for this amount I feel not worth. Nothing much to see. Not enough to given to spend in respective locations to get pictures, lot of time wasted in chocolate outlet.
