About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- O881WHsarahe0 contributionsSo-so tour of the old cityIt was very difficult to hear the tour guide. We tried to get closer but maybe it's a function of going in a larger group in the city in the afternoon. However, we did hit quite a few interesting locations in old city and gave us a sense of places we could visit during our trip (we set it our first day to beat jet lag and get a sense of the city right away). They gave us a coupon for one of the Christmas market wines which was kind. I wish there would have been more history of the city incorporated into the tour.Written 2 December 2024
- aarona7410 contributionsA place must visitThe downtown is full of Christmas lights and very easy to get there with Uber and train pass if you staying for a week or more. The prices are not too crazy for food if compared to London or USA.Written 2 December 2024
- robertjv20150 contributionsgood basic tourbasic good walking tour, it could be more detailed with more history and architecture facts, the guide Alla was quite nice and she tried hard to be open and welcoming even if the conditions were not ideal (snow, slush, cold weather). We liked it !Written 23 November 2024

So informative and answered our many questions about life in Switzerland, Zurich and the places we walked around. A largish group but everyone could hear Andrea. We were only in Zurich for one night so a great way to learn about the old town. Thanks AndreaWritten 20 October 2024

- miafe970 contributionsFairIt was okay. She showed some effort but couldn’t establish much rapport with the group, nor show much enthusiasm. We just came from 3 countries with different tours. This wasn’t on top of our listWritten 30 September 2024
- StephenInWSeattle0 contributionsAnne Shares ZurichThis walking tour was lead by Annemarie and she started the tour by covering a brief overview of the tour and safety brief. We heard historic information as well as stories about famous Swiss leaders and innovators. It was interesting, informative and mixed with a comfortable amount of walking I between landmarks and monuments. Although Anne was excellent, there were a few points in the tour where it was a bit difficult to hear. The tour might consider the benefit of adding hearing assistance when the group is larger. Highly recommend this tour!Written 22 September 2024

- CarmenD2000 contributionsVIATOR is a NO NO NOWaste of money and time: The address listed on Tripadvisor is not the one Google Maps took me to. When I realized, I tried to contact the operator to send me their location, and they NEVER responded. When they finally contacted me, I request a refund, explaining everything, specially that the operator never answered me, and they refused to grant it and they they did not give me other time options. I not only wasted my money, but also my time. @VIATOR gave me terrible service.Written 8 August 2024

Maria provided us with a wonderful tour. Places we visited were excellent. Service at these places was top notch. We would recommend this tour to anyone. If we had an issue, it was the location of the starting point. We took tram 4 to the Tony Apperal station way out into West Zurich into an area of businesses. It did not appear to be a place to begin a food tour. Ultimately, we saw Maria standing near the debarkation of the line 4 tram line. It would’ve eased our minds if she held a flag or someway to recognize her. Her name tag was not seen until we became very close. As I said before, it was an excellent tour, and we highly recommended it to everyone that we met in Zürich.

This tour was an excellent view of Zurich West, which we wouldn't have explored on our own. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable and was an excellent guide. We stopped at several places and had small dishes at each. You definitely won't need dinner afterwards!! Would highly recommend to anybody visiting Zurich.

Loved to visit Zürich-West on this three hour guided tour. Our guide showed us lots of beautiful locations and shared some interesting facts about the history of Zürich-West. I really loved to see how the industrial heritage of Zürich is respectfully being reconverted into a hip and trendy neighborhood.
All the places we visited offered nice food and drinks, but somehow I missed the linked with Swiss culture. I do love me some hummus and olives, but it would have been nice to also get a bit of insight in the Swiss traditional cuisine. But perhaps this trendy neighborhood is just not the right place for that. Loved the Zero Waste Store and the mussels in white wine we got served at Les Halles, though.
Although our guide was very knowledgeable about the history, she seemed to lack knowledge about food. She couldn't provide more information than: this is some nice wine, this is some nice sausage,... Was expecting a bit more.

This tour was fantastic. Our lovely guide Daniela took use through the Industrial Quarter and West Zurich, which conveniently has the newest/greatest restaurants in the city. She explained that the city started building up this quarter over a decade ago, and loosened restrictions on who could open a restaurant and how late it could be open. The result was the development of this super young, fun, and creative string of restaurants with international cuisine. I would caution this tour wouldn’t be appropriate for vegans (vegetarian and possibly gluten free would be OK but would recommend coordinating in advance) and that the tour is NOT traditional Swiss cuisine (which is exactly why we booked it). You will visit six stops in three hours, so it is a great way to sample a variety of international dishes so you have a “go-to” place for later during your trip.

The tour was an excellent introduction to the recent history of redevelopment in the area, combined with some extremely tasty examples of the food available in the area. The hosts at each stop provided their story of the food they had selected and their experience as business residents of the district.
