Overall rating

The bus tour was awesome. So was the boat ride. The only negative, if I can call it that, was the disconnect between the two. We were dropped to the pier for the boat ride at 11.10, but the next boat ride was at 12.30. There are multiple times at which you can take the boat ride - 11, 12.30, 2, and 4. We ended up taking the 4pm one as we roamed around until then. Anyways, superb value for money. So would highly recommend it!

I liked the history section. The coin collection is awesome. There's so much to see. I spent 2 hours there and still did not cover most of the museum. I would recommend a visit to this museum if you're in Zurich.

Our guide was kind and helpful and drove us around safely and comfortably! The information in the tour was helpful and informative as well. Thank you for a great experience!!

Very good customer service :) The bus and cruise combination is ideal for visiting in one day. Thanks again

Amazing museum so much to see and easy to navigate with friendly staff
