Air-conditioned bus with multilingual audio in Zurich, then ride the steep Uetlibergbahn train to Top of Zurich for big views.
“Honestly, the tour is okay. The audio does not sync up with what you're seeing. The last part of the journey which is triain to "top of zurich" isn't guided either. I also want to highlight something which was said in the audio likening cows on roads in India to trams in Zurich. I personally feel offended and do not expect this from a tour catering to international tourists. Overall experience 4/10.”
