Overview

Your Zurich experience begins with a guided introduction in the heart of the city, where you’ll explore the vibrant Old Town with its cobblestone streets, medieval houses, and landmarks such as the Grossmünster and Fraumünster. Along the way, you’ll also uncover hidden corners that many visitors overlook.

The walk continues with a leisurely stroll down the world-famous Bahnhofstrasse, one of Europe’s most elegant shopping avenues. Here, you’ll pause at select confiseries to sample Swiss chocolates—ranging from silky pralines to seasonal creations, and including Zurich’s famous Luxemburgerli.

The experience concludes with a one-hour Lake Zurich cruise. Sit back and relax as you take in views of the city skyline, lakeside villas, and the distant Swiss Alps.
