I spent an amazing time on the Private Day Tour from Zurich with Marc who was showing Switzerland with such passion that make you really love this country! Apart from showing Swiss Villages and Farmhouses, Marc showed some hidden hiking ways that lead you to amazing lakes that during winter are covered with snow and that made me so mesmerized! Marc was well prepared for our tour, he really knows a lot about his home and it was a pleasure to spend my time with him. I really enjoyed being in Switzerland, the food and our picnic on fresh air and highly recommend this trip for whose who want to see the soul of Swiss nature beauties!

Your guide will deliver you to a vantage point where the city’s bustling streets give way to peaceful views, blending natural beauty with urban charm. Lindenhof is not only a haven for relaxation but also a site brimming with historical significance, providing a unique perspective on Zurich’s past and present.

Great day tour! Marc picked our family of four up from the Zurich airport during a long 12 hour layover for a day tour of the sights. We went to many great lesser known hidden gems and views! This included the amazing country side with cows/sheep, cheese factory, William Tell, great picnic with raclette, and waterfalls!. Marc was very flexible an tailored the day to what we wanted to see and do.

As Zurich’s backyard mountain, Uetliberg offers unparalleled views of the entire city, its sparkling lake, and the majestic Alps in the distance. This Uetliberg experience is a must for anyone seeking to capture Zurich’s scenic overlook and immerse themselves in nature’s serenity.

Here, amidst the elegance and charm, indulge in an exclusive shopping experience. Renowned for its high-end boutiques and international brands, Bahnhofstrasse offers a refined retail journey.

I previously did a two-day private tour four months ago, where I was taken to explore the hidden gems from Zurich and Lucerne. The tour was so amazing that I had to hire Private Tours Switzerland once again for another two-day tour. Private guide Marc took me to the most amazing places in Graubunden around Davos and St. Moritz. I recommend Private Tours Switzerland to anyone who wants to see the most beautiful places in Switzerland.
