Insanely beautiful, fun, and informative!
Oh my gosh! Joshua took us on this tour and it was absolutely amazing! I had no idea you could get so quickly to the Alps and breathtakingly close! He took us to spectacular out of the way places with no tourists! Little hideaways that you never could have found any other way. So friendly and kind and a running dialog about the history of Switzerland and how all of the places fit in. I had no idea we would come away with such a memorable experience. It was amazing you could drive right into these gigantic peaks among the cows and cowbells, see and walk under a spectacular waterfall and eat wonderful local food as picnics along the way prepared by our guide. Super comfortable Mercedes made the drive comfortable ad quite. We absolutely recommend you don’t miss this on your visit to Zurich!

Amazing experience and great scenary
Manuel is an amazing guide and great with the kids. He shows care and attention to our needs and goes out of his way to make sure we were comfortable for our big family. Everyone appreciates Manuel and the myswisspanorama team. Highly recommended!

great day!
I had a wonderful day exploring Switzerland with our tour guide Elia. Even though it was a rainy day, Elia truly brought the sunshine with his warm and welcoming spirit. We visited many beautiful places, and Elia answered all our questions with great knowledge and care. The tour was very relaxed — perfect for anyone who just wants to sit back, enjoy the views, and be guided from place to place. The food was lovingly prepared, handmade with fresh regional products. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a special and unforgettable experience!

Awesome!!!
We did three private tours with Christinia and Fabion and everything was wonderful. They were both knowledgeable and wonderful to experience the natural wonders of Switzerland with. I highly recommend spending several days with them so they can customize your experience.

Top 1 vacation experience in my life. Priceless.
I don't usually leave reviews anywhere. But this time I must say: wow! The whole tour experience was excellent from the beginning when I was picked up at my hotel by Marc, the guide, all the way to the end. I strongly recommend the private tour especially to people that wish to unwind in paradise -like places and enjoy nature and the real Switzerland to the max. Being received with a warm greeting by Mark, including a Toblerone chocolate bar, we headed from Zurich to the south, driving through Immensee area where you have great views from the highway , passing through Brunnen where we stopped for a couple of minutes to take stunning lake views, and the first stop was the very original swiss town of Aldorf, where I learned about the origins of Switzerland and Wilhelm Tell, the national hero. Very interesting story indeed. Then we continued our journey to Bürglen, Uri canton with stunning towns views. After that experience we stopped in a natural waterfall at Unterschächen. Breathtaking experience for the senses. For a stressed out entrepreneur like me, this was an incredible moment of relaxation and reflection. Words are not enough. So much beauty and peace. We continue going to observe the glacier of Urnerboden after a 30 minute trekking climb, which is by the way a great workout for your body and soul. Incredible views from the glacier. See photos. I can continue mentioning other places we visited with more waterfalls and perfect nature settings, but, since those are places that no tourist crowds go normally, I would recommend you to contact Marc and live this unforgettable adventure. It´s worth every single penny. And I don´t want to forget for those chocolate lovers to make a stop at Läderach outlet shop. High quality chocolates for a fraction of the retail price. Yum! Once again, perfect day, perfect tour, amazing guide and all I can say is: don´t look further if you need a private tour to enjoy the best in Switzerland. Marc, being an experienced environmentalist, it´s your best option. I will definitely return with myswisspanorama in my next trip!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.
How much does From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1337 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zurich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zurich is not rushed.
Is From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zurich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zurich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zurich and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Zurich: Breathtaking waterfall and lakes private tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zurich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zurich?
+
On Outty we rank every Zurich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zurich Food Tour with 10 Local Delicacies, Cheeses & Chocolates, Private, excellent guided tour of Zurich (from CHF 21/pers.), Zürich Historic District Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zurich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zurich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
