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!!”

From Zurich: Mount Titlis with Ice Flyer & Lucerne Day Tour

2.Mount Titlis with Ice Flyer & Lucerne Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,899 reviews · 9h 30m · from $204

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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,745 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $120

Zurich day trip to Rapperswil, Vaduz, and Heidiland. Alps views, rose gardens, stamps, optional Heidi House, English guide.

“Great tour and value for the price! The tour guide and driver, Raymond and Drago (sp?) were fantastic, and all the stops along the way were great! Heidiland briefly reopened for the holidays, so we ended up visiting after all! I didn’t pay to enter the houses, but enjoyed walking the grounds and enjoying the spline scenery. Vaduz and Rapperswil were also lovely, with those stops were 1-1.5 hours for free time. Lunch is recommended for Rapperswil, but you can choose to eat later in Vaduz if you prefer - just decide based on when you’re hungry!”

Zurich to Lucerne and Mt Titlis in one day, with Rotair 360-degree cable car views, Cliff Walk thrills, Ice Cave moments, plus optional snow fun.

“The tour was very well managed. We spent a little time in the lovely city of Lucerne, the lakeside front of which you can explore quite quickly (and Chapel Bridge of course). Then it was off to Engelberg to Mount Titlis. We visited on an exceptionally busy day, so the queue for the rotating cable car was very long and initially it was pretty crowded up their too. The moutain itself is a great experience though, with plenty of things you can do when you get there. The cliff-top bridge (floor 5) and the glacial tunnel (floor 1) are both included. It was thick cloud and snow when we went,…”
