Overview

Are you willing to avoid the "tourist bubbles" and discover the charm of the tiny cobblestone streets in the Old Town, to walk through the parks and pedestrian zones, to feel the smells, to hear the bells, to fill your bottle with fresh water at one of the 1200' fountains that Zurich has to offer, to enjoy the nearby nature oases and to relax on a ferry cruise? This is the tour that offers you a good introduction to Zurich, great photo opportunities, and a 90-minute cruise on Lake Zurich.
SUMMER (April - October) tour starts 9:45 AM at LANDESMUSEUM (Museumstrasse 2);
WINTER (November - March) tour starts at 11:45 AM at LIMMATHOF Hotel (Limmatquai 142).

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Zurich Walking Tour Including a Lake Cruise?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
