This tour provided a wonderful overview of the city of Zurich and some of the surrounding areas. Our guide Hans was both informative and comedic as well.

The most impressing experience besides all of the fabulous sights of Zuerich were the professional and courteous attitude of the staff and the driver. Great job!

In September 2023 we went on the "Great Tour of Zurich" ("Cityrama Tour") with the Gray Line tour company ("Hans Meier Tourist Ltd") along with the longer "Heidiland" tour group . Our tour was 4/4.5 hours duration starting late after 11am and entailed seeing (from the coach) the limited sights of Zurich enroute to the lakeside village of Rapperswil. Very little information was provided about Zurich in general on the tour and there seemed to be more interest in the Heidiland group than ours! When we reached the Rapperswil village, which was lovely, we were briefly walked to the village ramparts and then left to our own devises including finding our own way to the boat to return to Zurich. This "boat cruise" is basically the local mode of transport which stops at about 10 piers for any passengers embarking and disembarking and takes about 2 hours. This boat lands at "Burkliplaz" pier in Zurich which entails a tram ride (no 11, I think) at your own expense or a 20 minute walk back to the starting point near the bus station-despite the Tripadvisor advising that was "round trip transfer from central Zurich". To be honest you could easily walk or take the tram to "Burkliplaz" pier and then take the "cruise boat" yourself to and from Rapperswil or else take the "Goldcoast train" there without paying the expensive CHF 62 per person for this tour. Rapperswil was the only highlight of the tour. For more information about Zurich's transport system visit the tourist office in the central train station.
This tour in Geneva is organized by Hans Meier Tourist
