    Our tour guide Greg was very knowledgeable, and conveyed his love for Zurich to our group. Not only did he share the historical facts, there was also some trivia that he interspersed with the tour to keep it interesting. It was paced well, and without an overload of information to make you want to jump ship! It was a great time spent!

    Greg was a very talented and capable tour guide (perhaps the best tour guide we have ever encountered in all our years of traveling) providing useful information and keeping the group together throughout the interesting tour.

    An incredible in depth walk of all of the key must see areas of Zurich. As an avid traveler I can tell you that David is the best of the best in this business. Very knowledgeable and accommodating.

    We had a great time in this tour. Our guide, Greg was friendly and knowledgeable! We learned a lot about the history of the city and saw all of the most important sights. I highly recommend this trip.

  • 06-Sep-2019

    The guide, Greg, gave too many statistics. He hurried between sights, too fast for me to keep up. He ignored photographic opportunities. He spent most of the time on the wonders of Swiss achievements, rather than small anecdotes about the various buildings and sights that we passed.

  • 08-Jul-2019

    Our tour guide was great at showing us the beauty of Zurich and telling us about Swiss culture. Well worth doing.
