Around Zürich · DRINKING TOURS

“This was so much fun and I got to meet new friends!!”
Zurich beer tour with an English guide, tasting 8+ 10cl samples across 3-4 stops in Kreis 4 and 5. Small group, 3.5 hours.
“Really fun evening tour for solo travellers who want to learn about beer itself and get a little taste of the drinking scene in Zurich !”
A 3.5-hour Zurich walk pairing craft beer with Swiss chocolate, with eight 10 cl tastings, eight pralines, and a small-group guide.
“Had a great experience with Sandra. She was a fantastic tour guide and really was very knowledgeable about the beer. She paired the type of chocolate with the type of beer and was impressed at how the flavor profiles. It was an extensive tour and worth the money.”
Zurich pub crawl with an English guide, mobile ticket, and complimentary drinks, starting 9 pm at 2. Akt Sportsbar and ending back there.
“The vibe was upsetting and the MC in charge (I’m refraining from naming her) did not engage us with the other groups and we were made to feel very uncomfortable, there was a point where everyone was served shots, while we were just left waiting for us. I had to go and personally request the representative for our shots. Following this, we felt very left out and decided to call it a night. I don’t know what else to say.. it was a hurtful experience. Nobody deserves to feel left out. Nonetheless, I wish the tour operators the best of luck.”
Walk Lucerne’s sights and finish with a guided craft beer tasting at Eichhof, plus local food. Private, English-speaking, about 3 hours.
“Glenn was a great guide. He took us all around Luzern, sharing about history and modern day. He also gave great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Luzern. Definitely a great way to get to know the town.”
A 4-hour Zurich bar tour with a local guide, a welcome drink, Kirsch liqueur tasting, night views, and smart city tips.
“Super cool tour. Anna found some very nice places and had a great story for every place. Totally recommend to everyone who likes to have a great evening.”
A 3-hour small-group beer walk through Zurich’s districts 4 and 5, with expert guide Sandro-like storytelling and at least eight 10cl tastings.
“Sandro, our tour guide, was so much fun! We went to several different bars throughout Zurich, had at least 10 beers and genuinely learned so much about each one! We came to Switzerland eager to learn about its history, and I honestly learned so much about beer history. It’s a small group tour so you definitely get personalized attention to all of your questions, I would definitely recommend and book again for my family! Thank you Sandro!!!”
The mountains, the water, the food and the city itself — and the best of each.
