During a short stay in Zurich we took a two hour city tour with headphone commentary (due to the virus there we no tour guides available). For us, at two hours the tour was just about the right length and the commentary was interesting and informative with a narrative that extended to both the city and national relevance. A word about the driver - he was friendly and just about the best bus/ coach driver I have ever experienced. He navigated the often narrow streets and turnings superbly and was courteous to other drivers and pedestrians. Whilst we thought this was quite an expensive tour, (most things in Zurich are quite expensive), we did very much enjoy it and would certainly recommend it.....

The tour was really better than I expected, the guide was very knowledgable, social and fun, I enjoyed my time with him. The cable car near Zürich was really interesting and the views from up top were also magnificent, I think it's one of the best tours you can do compared to the price! Completely worth it.

We took the tour on August 25, 2020 and it turned out to be an excellent way of seeing Zurich, particularly the old town, the area around the Grossmünster, etc. The weather was nice, so there was no need for warm clothes. The drive was friendly, spoke good English and made some interesting comments. If you are a first time visitor - I am not but there were two of us - I highly recommend this Tour. One criticism : they charge you an additional CHF 19 for dropping you off less than a mile away from the railway station upon your return and that is probably a bit excessive. i asked and got a drop off at Sihlstrasse but the additional charge was a bit unwarranted.

Very Excellent tour with guide Greg, he’s extremely informative and patient! A couple missed to exit the ferry and he went onboard to pick them. Misfortune happened as the ferry left with 3 of them onboard. He quickly contacted one of the tour members and assured us he will return in subsequent ferry. He made it back and continued our tour, even extending it to ensure we cover the tour in an unhurried and pleasant manner. Memorable trip!

We were with Losi last evening myself and 2 adult daughters. They were a bit leery of this type of tour but once we saw the beautiful and immaculate tuk tuk and it was such a lovely evening they got excited. Losi allowed us to pick areas of interest for the tour and then we went to pick up the wine and fondu. He set up the absolutely fabulous Swiss fondu and poured our wines and off we went! If you want a unique experience that’s fun with stops of incredible views of the city this is the tour for you!
