Board a comfortable, climate-controlled coach for this three hour and forty-five minute tour, which begins by setting out past the Swiss National Museum, the luxurious shopping avenue Bahnhofstrasse and Zurich's renowned financial district. Enjoy a magnificent view of crystal-clear Lake Zurich during a photo stop at Enge harbour. You will continue along the lake, passing the grand Opera House and the university quarter with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) and the University of Zurich, before touring distinguished districts with stately mansions near the popular Zürichberg recreational area.
After a short glimpse of the city, the lake and the snow-covered Alps, you drive past the Kunsthaus art museum down to the charming Old Town. There, you will follow your tour guide on a guided stroll through the pedestrian zone, admiring imposing guild houses, the Church of St. Peter with Europe's largest clock face, the Grossmünster church, and the Fraumünster church, famous for its stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall.
Exhilarated by numerous anecdotes about Zurich, a short stroll along the picturesque Limmat brings you to nearby Bürkliplatz. Here you will embark on a scenic, independent one-hour cruise on Lake Zurich, sailing past grand lakeside villas and popular lidos. You can sit back and relax as you listen to compelling stories about the history of the city, the lake, and the surrounding mountains over an audio guide app on your own device. The tour ends at Bürkliplatz.
From April 2026, you can choose the optional upgrade: an independent visit to the FIFA Museum after the tour, to explore the world of football.
