WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
We start the tour with a short funicular ride. The Polybahn takes us up from Central to the panorama terrace in front of the main building of the Federal Institute of Technology in just three minutes. Here you will enjoy superb views of the city and you will learn interesting facts about ETH, education, science, and innovation in Switzerland.
2. Old Town
Discover the cultural and natural sides of Zurich during this 5 - 6 hours tour by walking in a small group and by using excellent public transport. Enrich your knowledge about Switzerland's business and cultural capital while listening to your guide pointing out the highlights of this unique town. While strolling around we will focus on Bahnhofstrasse - Zurich's main downtown street and one of the world's most expensive shopping avenues; Limmatquai - a vibrant dining area with many interesting Guild houses; Lindenhof - a former roman settlement and toll; St. Peter Church - one of the four main churches in Zurich whose clock face is the largest in all of Europe; Fraumünster - famous for its Chagall Windows, Grossmünster Church - the icon of Zurich and the place where Reformation has begun; ETH - whose most famous former student and professor are Albert Einstein and other 20 Nobel Prize laureates; The house where Lenin was living before returning to Russia for leading the revolution.
3. Lindenhof Hill
Lindenhof is an oasis at the heart of the city. This glorious park has been known since the year 80 BC and is regarded as the origin of Zurich’s history. Thanks to its great view it’s also an ideal location for a great photo opportunity.

After the city tour and the short hike on the local little mountain, we are heading back to Zurich by boat. We will enjoy a 45 min cruise on Lake Zurich and talking about the chocolate while passing nearby Lindt Chocolate Factory and will admire one of the most expensive areas of the Lake Zurich, where celebrities as Tina Turner are living.

After the city walking tour, we will continue with a journey to the local little mountain Uetliberg or Felsenegg to experience a short aerial cable car OR train ride and enjoy breathtaking views. This is a popular recreational area for the locals living in and around Zurich and offers incredible views overlooking Zurich, the lake, and the snow-capped Alps. We will experience a short hike on a special trail called "Planetweg" which represents our solar system on a reduced scale and will enjoy the fresh air of the beautiful forest before heading back to Zurich by boat.

Greg was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about Zurich. The ferry was delayed and he figured a new route to get us to see everything on the tour and still get the trip competed on time.

I didn't go on the tour, but had a fabulous time! My tour was cancelled and we couldn't reschedule, so David Orelli from Wow Zurich Tours went out of his way to send me an itinerary of things to do in Zurich with guidance on how to get around the city and wonderful suggestions of places to go and see. David provided me with extensive directions on how to get to places and even guided me to the proper places to go to obtain transportation tickets. He was delightful and super helpful even though I was refunded the price of my tour. My recommendation is, if you are taking a tour in Zurich, Wow Zurich Tours and David Orelli is the operator you must use as I am sure that the care they took of me would be even greater on the tour itself. Highly recommended.
