2.Zurich Sights: Cruise, Lindt Chocolate and optional FIFA Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,028 reviews · 5 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $108

Half-day Zurich highlights with a Lake cruise, Lindt chocolate tastings, optional FIFA Museum, and a 24-hour transit pass.

“Great tour with very knowledge able tour guide. I loved the brief driving tour of the city seeing different areas I would not have otherwise visited. Also really appreciated the walking tour of old town. I had walked the area the day before solo, but doing it again with a guide who shared more historic context was far more interesting. The boat ride to the chocolate factory wasn't too long, although the boat was very crowded and we had to stand. Would recommend getting their earlier to get seating (especially indoor seating if going during the winter). By the time you get to the factor you're likely hungry so I'd…”

5.Zurich Highlights City Tour with Optional FIFA Museum Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 101 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $46

Zurich highlights by air-conditioned coach with an Old Town walk, plus optional FIFA Museum entry. See key landmarks in 2h15.

“I had already walked around Old Town but hoped to see more. Well this was a combined tour with those who were also doing a cruise. Spent more time explaining that issue than telling about the sights. Couldn’t really do Old Town due to limitations of a tour bus and the construction plus prep for an outdoor event. Did get some interesting tidbits but disappointed in the lack of real information on the various buildings and the city itself. I have done a lot of tours through Viator and this was the first one that I was disappointed in.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 83 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Zurich hotel pickup to the Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg, with a ticketed museum visit and tasting time, plus key one-way logistics.

“Total scam of our money, we booked the tour to the Lindt factory with a ride. The ride was supposed to pick us up at 1pm at our accommodation and provide us with the tickets. We actually took a very expensive taxi from the airport of Zurich to the accommodation to be there on time for our 1pm tour. We waited outside the accommodation at 12:40pm so we were clearly visible and early. Barely anyone walked by at one point and older man with a hat walked by looking at his phone as if he was waiting for someone, we approached him and asked if he was the driver for…”

12.À Maurice Watch Workshop in Zurich

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $434Top rated

Hands-on Zurich watchmaking at Maurice de Mauriac: tour the atelier, learn mechanical watch skills, assemble parts, dress up, photos included.

“It is very difficult to write this review as I don’t have the words to articulate how wonderful a time we had… (Ha Ha see the play on time and this being a review for a watch manufacture class?). A five-star rating does not do this experience justice, the shop is lovely and eclectic in a very homey comfortable way, like when you go over to a friend’s house… comfortable, welcoming, unpretentious but classy, sophisticated, energetic… you must go to see and feel it. The Dreifuss family, Daniel, Leonard, Massimo are probably the coolest trio on the planet, and we could not have spent enough time hanging out with them.…”

Swiss Finance Museum Admission Ticket - Permanent Exhibits: How the Swiss Financial Story Builds From the 1500s

13.Swiss Finance Museum Admission Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 26 reviews · 1 day · from $13Best value

Zurich Swiss Finance Museum ticket: learn how stocks and stock exchanges work, then explore a changing exhibit with an audio guide.

“My recent visit to the Finance Museum was unfortunately a disappointing experience!! In one word, please do not bother. I had anticipated an interactive and informative exhibit, particularly concerning global financial markets, that would engage and educate children. However, the museum's offerings were significantly below expectations, leading us to conclude that it does not currently provide sufficient value to warrant a visit.”
