Zurich: City Tour, Cruise, and Lindt Home of Chocolate Visit

1.City Tour, Cruise, and Lindt Home of Chocolate Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4,624 reviews · 5.5 - 6.5 hours · from $103Our pick

Bus sights, guided Old Town walk, Lake Zurich cruise, and Lindt tastings in one 6-hour loop, with optional FIFA Museum add-on.

“I originally just wanted to do the Lindt Home of Chocolate but as it was sold out I decided to join this tour and I’m so glad I did - it was excellent. Also such great value for money as the individual activities alone would have cost so much more. This way you get a real 360 view of the entire city of Zurich. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and helped us navigate both the tour and local public transportation routes. Cannot recommend enough!!”

Lucerne day trip from Zurich with an Old Town orientation and a 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise, plus hours to explore cafés and sights.

“I really enjoyed this day trip as such because we had more free time to explore Lucerne on our own. I like guided tours for the most part, but many times find that we don't spend enough time at some locations. This was a perfect way to get a feel and flavor of the city at our own pace and then meet the bus to go back to Zurich. The Lake Lucerne cruise was lovely although it was a bit overcast. I recommend this option for those who prefer to explore a city on their own.”

No customer service understanding at all!”
