Zurich city sights by bus and Old Town walk, a 30-min Lake Zurich cruise, plus Lindt tastings. Optional FIFA Museum add-on.

“Enjoyed and a great way to visit the lindt home of chocolate. Booked it last minute due to not being able to find tickets. You get first into a bit coach and you get a good drive through the city. The guide give good and interesting information. Next we went to the harbour (could have been skipped 10min stop). Next we had a little walking tour. Really enjoyed it and the guide gave some great recommendations. Then we all boarded the boat and went to the chocolate factory. From there once you are given your tickets, it is free time. So I liked it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,381 reviews · from $214

Zurich to Lucerne and Mount Titlis: Rotair revolving cable car, Ice Grotto, glacier caves, Titlis Cliff Walk, and alpine views.

“Great day trip overall. Quick stop in Lucerne with an hour or so to explore, the off up to Mount Titlis. I completed the several options / places to see while up the top including having so lunch. Ran out of things to do with an hour to wait for the return coach alongside serval other guests. Perhaps rebalances the time towards Lucerne? But overall great trip, 100% recommend! The coach was clean and modern, only beware no food or drinks on board and the coach’s toilet was not available.”
