Switzerland · TOUR REVIEWS
A small country with an expensive timetable: the trick is picking the days that repay the ticket. The 15 below are the ones that do, priced and timed, with the full catalogue underneath when you want to go deeper.
Self-paced Lindt Home of Chocolate near Zurich with 9 m fountain, factory views, audio guide, and unlimited Swiss chocolate tastings in a day.
“The generous amount of free chocolate was great but the whole museum was short.”
One coach day from Zurich into the Jungfrau peaks, with free time in Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen waterfalls.
“Everything was excellent, but I think that last city is too much for one day. We don’t have time to enjoy Interlaken”
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!!”
Geneva Lake Geneva cruise from Mont-Blanc pier, 50 minutes with CGN Tours audio guide, Jet d'Eau and Alpine views for $24.
“A very relaxing hour with lovely scenery. The app commentary was useful.”
Zurich day trip to Mount Titlis and Lucerne: Rotair revolving cable car, Ice Flyer chairlift, glacier caves, Cliff Walk and views.
“Absolutely stunning day trip and worth every dollar! The views were out of this world and something you could only imagine in a fairytale. Loved getting a taste of Lucerne, we had only about an hour so don’t expect to be able to do a whole bunch. Good thing is it is accessible by train from Zurich if you want to go back and explore a little longer on your own time. Mount Titlis is breathtaking and the ticket gives you access to everything and is seamless with everything planned ahead of time. We were running late at times waiting for others to arrive back at the bus on time…”
Geneva chocolate walk with old town sights and a Lake Geneva boat ride. Sample 12 award-winning treats in a small group.
“Great way to get to know the city of Geneva and its rich history! Paul was quite knowledgeable and was a wonderful tour guide! He taught us the proper way to taste/eat chocolate. :)”
Take a 30-minute Rhine Falls boat tour for about $13. Go bilingual, cruise calm water, then get the roar close-up.
“our guide was really nice and did a great job, it's a wonderful experience, everybody should do it once, and the price is very cheap considering you're in Switzerland ;)”
Zurich-Heidiland Liechtenstein coach trip with Rapperswil castle, Ricken Pass views, Vaduz free time, and Heidi country in 7.5 hours.
“The day trip was very well organized, allowing us to see and experience a great variety of things. Our guide, Karsten, demonstrated extensive knowledge on many topics—whether he was explaining, answering questions, or sharing stories. Together with our driver, Lorenzo, we traveled safely to all the attractions and returned to Zurich in the evening. These two made a fantastic team, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beautiful rural landscape and visit one of the smallest countries in the world.”
Guided Zurich day trip to Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe. Cable car, cogwheel train, Sphinx Terrace, Ice Palace tunnels, and return via Wengen.
“Free water should be provided in the bus, it was 2 frank and card was not acceptable, only cash was accepted and I didn't had cash. Bus had a WC which was unserviceable.”
Zurich in 4.5 hours by bus, ferry, and cable car. Old Town walk, Lake Zurich crossing, Felsenegg views, great value.
“Bruno our tour guide was excellent, would highly recommend”
Cable car and Dragon Ride up Mt. Pilatus, steep cogwheel train down, and a Lake Lucerne cruise back, guided from Lucerne.
“The trip was fantastic and our guide was great. The scenery riding up the Gondola and the Tram to the top of Mt Pilatus was spectacular. We were even blessed with the first snow of the season once we got to the top. The views were breathtaking. The Cog Wheel train ride down a unique experience and of the course the boat ride back to Lucerne was awesome. Highly recommend this tour”
Half-day coach trip from Zurich to Rhine Falls and medieval Stein am Rhein, with castle entry, guided walks, and optional boat views.
“The guide was very informative. Took the time to answer all my questions. The tour itself was well worth it.”
Tandem paragliding over Interlaken with Skywings. Soar above Lake Thun and Alpine peaks in about 1.5 hours, with expert pilots.
“Great experience! It was my first time, instructions were clear. Good guidence to. Very great pictures and video's. Res was my pilot, after the great flight, my phone didn't accept the sd-card adapter, but i wanted the pictures and video's he has taken. Res looked for a sollution and we found one. He also gave me the sd-card just to be sure i'd get the media! I really apreciate this! Overall a great day! This wasn't my last time! I'd reccomend this to everyone. I don't like heights, but this was a great way to face my fears! Kind regards, Rico Marten”
Day trip from Zurich to Lucerne and Mount Titlis with Rotair views, Glacier Cave, Titlis Cliff Walk, plus winter snow tubing or ski options.
“We were sent up Mt Titlis without our tourist guide and we were somehow lost where to get started . We missed the hanging bridge which was part of the tour and missed the outside experience where you hanged on a moving suspension. I think missing these 2 experiences , that they should give us a refund! I could have bought my own ticket to this excursion for lesser money . The tour to Luzern is also on your own and you have to walk back to the bus. You can easily get distracted with the time frame they gave you. I was disappointed.”
Milan to St. Moritz day trip with the Bernina Red Train. UNESCO alpine scenery, St. Moritz time, guided bus transfers, $123.
“TOTALLY WORTH IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND , GUIDE VERY FRIENDLY , I WOULD DEFINITELY REPEAT IT!”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
