YAU – Hong Kong

Guide Martin was very helpful and professional. Making the whole trip was fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone want to explore Zurich.

Nicola – United Kingdom

Not really my thing in terms of large group tours but it worked because there was freedom. The short coach trip around Zurich was informative and was followed by a short boat trip across to the chocolate factory. The group was frustrating as although the instructions were crystal clear people were ignoring them. The short walk to the chocolate factory and then a brilliant chocolate tour - make sure you have enough room for the chocolate you will consume! After that you could return with the guide or a variety of other choices - I chose to continue the boat cruise on my own and return back to the port and walk back k to the station. For the cruise, the transport ticket and the chocolate factory it was great.
