Discover the magic of Zurich on an adventure designed to let you experience the city like a local.
We begin with a guided walking tour through Zurich’s charming Old Town.
After a quick lunch we glide across the sparkling waters on a scenic ferry ride on Lake Zurich. Sit back, relax, and take in postcard-perfect views of the city skyline, and on clear days—the majestic Alps in the distance.
The journey continues as we head toward one of Zurich’s local “little mountain”, where a short cable car ride lifts you above the city. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views, fresh alpine air, and a peaceful escape from the urban buzz.
This tour is ideal for those who want to feel Zurich, not just see it—to move through it and breathe it in.
Per request, wrap up your city tour with an unforgettable finale—an afternoon escape to the majestic Rhine Falls, where golden light meets thundering water. A perfect ending that turns a great day in Zurich into a truly spectacular experience.

5.00My parents and I loved this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Zurich. We got to see and experience so much of the city in just one day (walking around Old Town, cruise on Lake Zurich and going on a Cable Car to Felsenegg). Our tour guide Vasi was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about Zurich and Switzerland from him and he answered all of our many questions. He also gave great recommendations for restaurants/food (the sausage restaurant he recommended for lunch was one of the best we tried in Switzerland!). I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Zurich. The tour involves a lot of walking but it wasn't anything intense. Even the portion of the tour where you had to walk uphill to take the bus was fine and not too bad.
Don't miss this activity- very comprehensive!

5.00If you only do one tour in Zurich, this is it. Very comprehensive tour of Zurich. Walked the Aldstadt, then did a relaxing cruise on the lake, and finished up with a cable car ride to Felsenegg with spectacular views of the entire area. I also learned a great deal about Switzerland 🇨🇭. Greg was a fantastic guide. Thank you
Great day out.
