Excellent walking & lake tour of Zurich - A very interesting walking city tour with a duration of just over 3 hours. We met Teressa just after 9 at the Swiss Museum next to the main station. First port of call was Buchmann's store, this included some lovely chocolate as part of the cost of the tour. We then carried on the walk with Teressa showing the many sights of Zurich, the tour concluded with a 90 minutes mini cruise on Lake Zurich.

Snowy walking tour in Zurich - Our walking tour of Zurich was fabulous. Theresa was a wonderful guide. Knowledgeable and passionate about her city.
We had a cold and snowy day but that just added to the experience.
Tasted some lovely chocolates and took a ferry ride on the lake.

Worth it - Great overall experience, even in the winter. It was nice to get out and explore with others, try some local chocolate, and sight see a bit on the cruise.
Our guide, John, is really what made it worth it — a kind, friendly guide, and we really appreciated his insights and tour stops.

Nice tour but a bit expensive - We lucked out and there were only 2 of us (my boyfriend & I) on this tour. Our tour guide, Teresa, was excellent because she spoke English as a primary language. She was very personable and knowledgeable. We took a free Zurich tour the day before so some of the tour was repetative but this included stops at 2 chocolate shops (not chocolate making shops as I thought) plus a very nice cruise on the lake. I thought the fee was a bit high but chocolate was provided for free at 2 stops and also hot cocoa at another stop. Friends on a similar tour did not have a long lake cruise like we did when they went to the Lindt chocolate factory.
