Description

Explore Zurich and its surroundings on a guided tour combining bus, ferry and cable car for a complete experience of the city and its landscapes!

You'll start your afternoon with a comfortable coach tour, passing iconic sites such as the Swiss National Museum, the famous Bahnhofstrasse and Zurich's financial district. A photo stop is planned at the port of Enge, offering breathtaking views of Lake Zurich.

The tour continues to the university district, where you'll spot the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), the University of Zurich and the Kunsthaus art museum. You'll then explore the Old Town on a guided walk, discovering historic guild houses, St. Peter's Church with Europe's largest clock face, the Grossmünster and the Fraumünster with its stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. Throughout your visit, you'll enjoy commentary and anecdotes from your guide.

After leaving the city center, you'll travel along the "Gold Coast" to Meilen, where you'll cross Lake Zurich by ferry to Horgen. In Adliswil, you'll take the only cable car in Canton Zurich to reach the Felsenegg viewpoint.

From here, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the city, the lake and the snow-covered Alps, before returning to the Sihlquai bus station.
