The Best of Switzerland Tours From Zurich

Zurich City Tours

• The Best of Switzerland offers several different city tours of Zurich. The most comprehensive is "Zurich and Surroundings Extended City Tour." This 4-hour tour takes visitors to all of the major points of interest in Zurich, including Old Town, St. Peter's Church, the Bahnhofstrasse, the Limmatquai, and the Guild Houses, and supplements this with a trip to Adliswil where a cable car will take tour participants up to Felsenegg, a viewing point from which they can see most of the city.

  Another option is the "Best of Zurich City Tour," which only runs 2 1/4 hours. Visitors will see the National Museum, the Banhofstrasse, St. Peter's Church, and the Old Town, but this tour does not include the Aldiswil trip. (References 1)

  Other variations of the Zurich City Tour include "The Chocolate Side of Zurich," which combines a Zurich City Tour with a visit to the Lindt & Sprüngli Chocolate Factory, and "Go Wild in Zurich," which combines the city tour with a trip to the Zurich Zoo. (References 1)

The coach ride continues along Lake Lucerne, and ends at Weggis. Here, visitors catch an aerial cable car to Rigi Kaltbad, and then catch a mountain railway up to Rigi-Kulm. This point is over 6,000 feet high, providing views of the surrounding mountains. After some time at the peak, visitors board a cog-wheel train to Vitznau, and transfer to a boat which takes them to Lucerne.
