Great tour saw so much of Zurich and surrounding areas. Greg our guide was excellent. You should be good physical shape as this tour does have lots of walking uphill.

Greg was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about Zurich. The ferry was delayed and he figured a new route to get us to see everything on the tour and still get the trip competed on time.

I didn't go on the tour, but had a fabulous time! My tour was cancelled and we couldn't reschedule, so David Orelli from Wow Zurich Tours went out of his way to send me an itinerary of things to do in Zurich with guidance on how to get around the city and wonderful suggestions of places to go and see. David provided me with extensive directions on how to get to places and even guided me to the proper places to go to obtain transportation tickets. He was delightful and super helpful even though I was refunded the price of my tour. My recommendation is, if you are taking a tour in Zurich, Wow Zurich Tours and David Orelli is the operator you must use as I am sure that the care they took of me would be even greater on the tour itself. Highly recommended.

We truly enjoyed the gondola to the mountain as well as the ferry ride on Lake Zürich. All in all, it was well worth the money. We are so happy we did this tour.

It was a great overview of Zürich and Patricia was delightful. The tour was all encompassing.
The only issue is it needs to be more descriptive of all of the rough terrain and hills
