Went to few of the many famous places in Switzerland such as Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lauterbraunan with Best Of Switzerland Tours, truly lived up to it's name. We had an extra wonderful and enjoyable time thanks to our tour guides Eduardo and Viktor whom were very accommodating and knowledgeable, as well as bus driver Carlos for keeping us safe on the road and taking beautiful scenic routes to and back for the whole journey. Would highly recommend. Thank you for enhancing me and my family's experience in Switzerland🫶🏻

The buses came on time the tour guide was above and beyond helpful along with her Assistant. We were able to purchase the cable car tickets on the bus, which was really convenient. We never got lost or left out of the loop about anything that was happening throughout our tour, I will highly Suggest that you book all your tours with this company.

I joined the Zurich and Lindt home of chocolate tour, and it was amazing. Absolutely beautiful glimpse of Zurich with a wonderful commentary by our guide, Renate. It was fascinating to hear about the history. We were lucky enough to have a clear day and to be able to see the alps, and also the most gorgeous outlook on the boat on Lake Zurich. The chocolate factory was a lot of fun, and people on the tour were great company. Big thank you to Renate!

We are a family of three from the UK, and this trip to Switzerland had been planned for a long time. Zurich was our very first stop, and we were full of curiosity and excitement about this beautiful city. Joining the Best of Switzerland Tours “Zurich and Lindt Home of Chocolate” excursion turned out to be the perfect start to our Swiss adventure! Everything was wonderfully organized — the coach was comfortable, the pace was relaxed, and our guide, Ms. Khushnum, was truly exceptional. Thanks to her clear explanations, we not only saw Zurich’s most beautiful sights but also came to understand so much more about Switzerland’s culture, history, and daily life. The panoramic drive through the city gave us a great first impression — from Lake Zurich and the Opera House to the Zürichberg district and the charming Old Town. The short boat trip on Lake Zurich was peaceful and lovely. Of course, the highlight was our visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate. The architecture is stunning, the interactive exhibits were fun and educational, and the unlimited chocolate tasting was absolutely amazing! We also enjoyed relaxing at the Lindt Café and browsing the world’s largest Lindt Chocolate Shop for gifts to take home. The tour ended conveniently at Zurich Main Station, and the included 24-hour ticket made it easy for us to continue exploring on our own. It was a perfect combination of sightseeing, learning, and sweet indulgence. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zurich — and a heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Khushnum, our wonderful guide and the Best of Switzerland Tours team for such a memorable beginning to our Swiss journey!

We grabbed one of these tours late in the season on a whim. Because it was already a small group tour and the last one of the season, we practically had a private tour. We did the Cheese, Chocolate and Mountains tour. We visited a small dairy farm, a cheese museum and dairy, had a private cheese tasting, visited a cheese shop, took a cable car ride to a revolving restaurant, ate delicious food, took in amazing vistas, visited villages, a local chocolate shop (another tasting). It was such a full and information packed day and were dropped back in Zurich in the evening. Our guide, Monika, was so knowledgeable and friendly and willing to help take group photos! We packed so much cultural information into one day, which was perfect for our short trip. Thank you to Monika and Best of Switzerland Tours for a lovely day. Well worth the ticket price!
