Most memorable trip I’ve ever made !
That’s an awesome trip. The beautiful view from two type of cable car and from top of the mountain just wow ! Covers almost all the expectations in terms of ride. Covered a lot with in 6 hours. Understand little expensive but considering number of ride and distance it covered, it worth. I would recommend it to others. Last but not the least, the guide was also awesome!

Comprehensive tour of Zurich
What a tour! While I wasn't planning on a private tour, we only had one other couple with me and my wife. Our guide Constantin was amazing. I knew we had a tight timeline prior to the tour and Constantin was in instant communication with me. He shortened the trip in time, but not in terms of seeing all of the sights.We were active as we walked, took a cruise on Lake Zurich, took an Uber, took a cable car, a train and a street car....we used multiple modes of Zurich's transportation system. Fortunately, the weather was perfect and the crowds were small.We had lunch on our own, at a remarkable restaurant at Felsenegg.Constantin was very knowledgeable about the sights, the Swiss people and the history of the area. We learned a lot.If you're short time and need a comprehensive overview of Zurich with great views, select this tour.

We did a day trip from Zurich to Mount Pilatus, via Lucerne. This turned out to be our best tour of our weeklong trip to Zurich. Our guide, Angela, from Best of Switzerland tours was just outstanding. She planned the entire day giving us 2 hours in Lucerne, 3 on Mount Pilatus, and hour cruise on Lake Lucerne. And she kept us engaged throughout the day with interesting information about Switzerland. Couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend this tour!!

Andrea, our warm and friendly tour guide from Best of Switzerland tours, shared interesting information about the history and general trivia about Lucerne. Prior to arriving in the city proper, we were treated to a panoramic ride showcasing lovely views of the mountains and lakes. We had five hours to explore the city on our own.
