Vanessa was very knowledgeable and personable. We didn’t finish the tour because my friend couldn’t manage the hill. v - I guess there was a hill that had to be navigated quickly. My friend couldn’t do the hike so we stayed on the boat. So sorry to have missed the rest

Full day in and around Zurich - A fabulous day covering all the main sights in and around Zurich. Our guide, Patricia was so friendly and very well informed. She asked about us all. She was able to answer all questions fully. We travelled on foot (2 hours) going up a few steep hills but worth it for the views. We went on the bus, trams, Polybahn and cable car. Unfortunately the weather changed and we were unable to get views from the top. Patricia guided us every step of the way. When the tour ended , she was able to answer our questions and help get train times etc so we could travel next day. Thank you, Patricia. Zürich and yourself did not disappoint and of course, I would recommend. Be aware that there is a lot of walking, up and down steep hills so best be prepared for the weather also!

Zürich 6 hour - Patricia was great but the 6 hour tour needs some logistic timing changes. Less time in old town especially if it is raining -more to enjoy the stops -lunch only 30 minutes in a crowded area /15 on the last stop where we could have enjoyed 30 minutes for a drink and sit and enjoyed the view -skip the climbing of the very steep hill -there was a lift to take people up -the boat ride in Zurich lake was enjoyable -the tram and cable car were nice but we came away with feeling the experience could have been more fun .

... Seniors challenge walking steep uphill.. - Other than the tour guide GREG for his expertise and communication skills, this tour needs to mention the difficulty level/code of it being hard for the kind of walking those uphills and downhills especially for Seniors, Being a Senior myself with my partner, it was so challenging and had I known I would have never chosen it. I have heart condition and need prior intimation of taking such a risk. Older people please stay away from this tour..
