It was a great tour, our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything, I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Zürich for the first time!

a very nice way to spend an afternoon although the Rhinefalls access was quite difficult for some. just be prepared to climb up and down steps.

Incredible both the guide and the driver, adequate time although a bit tight for everything but very punctual. A pleasure 🥰🥰
