Epic tour with an epic guide - Our guide, Ricardo met us at our hotel and took us around the city showing us beautiful churches, artwork, oldest areas of the city, and scenic views. He made sure to ask our interests so he could take us to all the areas we wanted to see. We even saw a recently discovered Roman ruin (Roman bath house). If you are planning a trip to Zurich, make sure to book a tour with Ricardo at Swiss Epic Tours!

Great history of Zürich - We did a 2 hour walking tour of the old city with Ricardo that was fantastic. He gave us a lot of history background of how Zürich came to be today, parts of the city we would not have known to look for, and recommended a great authentic Swiss restaurant.

Morning walk of Zurich - Celio, our tour guide, met us on time and a at our agreed upon pickup location, driving a comfortable SUV. We hit the highlights of the old city by car, then did an hour long walking tour through part of the old town and walked up to an overlook of Zürich’s Limmat River, a picturesque site and place to point out landmarks. Celio, an affable student of history narrated along the way and kept our curiosity piqued and thoroughly answered questions. He kept a comfortable walking pace and returned us to the airport to continue our travels.

Heartbroken Visit to Switzerland - The driver was very nice and knowledgeable but picked us up so early we didn’t get to see or do what we dreamed, planned or hoped to do. We were really looking forward to eating fondue, experiencing the Lindt Chocolate Museum and going inside of a watch store in Bahnhofstrasse. Our tour ran from approximately 8 am until 10:00 am so nothing was open yet. We were told that the chocolate factory was too far and we probably would not be able to get an entry ticket anyway. Fortunately, we were able to purchase a few watches from the airport. We basically paid for a ride to and from the airport and to walk in the cold 30 to 40 minutes. Not the memory of Switzerland that we dreamed of.
