Overview

Are you ready for a perfect mix of city, lake, and mountain?
An authentic experience using walking and public transportation?
Stunning viewpoints and hidden local spots? This WALKING TOUR is for you! It begins with a refined stroll through the Old Town.
Next, we trade streets for serenity with a graceful ferry ride across Lake Zurich, where the views do most of the talking and you just sit back and enjoy the moment.
To finish? A light ascent by cable car to a nearby hilltop, where panoramic views and fresh alpine air add a final touch of wow—because every good story deserves a beautiful ending.
Per request, wrap up your city tour with an unforgettable finale—an afternoon escape to the majestic Rhine Falls, where golden light meets thundering water. A perfect ending that turns a great day in Zurich into a truly spectacular experience. Ask your guide for details.

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Zurich Walking Tour With Cruise and Aerial Cable Car?

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
