The city tour, which began with a bus ride and a walk through the city, was very well organized and informative. This was followed by a pleasant boat trip. Finally, we visited the Lindl company. Everything was perfect for us after a short stay in Zurich. We will gladly recommend this tour to our friends.

Andi was an excellent guide very informative. He made sure everyone was able to get back and explained how or took you back with him to the group meeting point where the trip started. Just a shame you don’t get more time on the boat.
