This 4.5-hour bus tour covers Zurich’s main sights and nearby areas with a mix of guided walking, ferry, and cable car rides. You start by boarding a coach at Zurich’s Sihlquai Bus Station, where a guide points out landmarks like the Swiss National Museum and Bahnhofstrasse, the city's main shopping street. The route then leads through the financial district and the university quarter, passing ETH Zurich and the city’s art museum. The tour includes a stop at Lake Zurich to enjoy views before continuing to the Zürichberg area, known for its grand mansions and recreational spaces. Next, you take a guided 25-minute walk through Zurich’s Old Town (Altstadt), where you see historic guild houses, the large clock on St Peter’s Church, and the stained-glass windows of Fraumünster Church by Marc Chagall. After the city sights, the coach travels along the Gold Coast to Meilen. Here you board a ferry crossing Lake Zurich to Horgen. Then the tour continues by coach to Adliswil, where you take a 40-minute cable car ride up 800 meters to Felsenegg viewpoint. From there, you can see the Alps and towns along the lake. Note that during certain periods the cable car is replaced by the Dolder cogwheel train. The tour concludes back in central Zurich in the early evening. The tour includes a guided Old Town walk, a ferry ride on Lake Zurich, an aerial cable car ride (or cogwheel train during maintenance), and coach transportation with air conditioning. A professional multilingual guide leads the tour. Participants should wear comfortable shoes for a short uphill and downhill walk. The operator balances the tour’s carbon footprint through certification by myclimate. Food, drinks, hotel transfers, gratuities, and personal expenses are not included.
