    Exciting experience with grandchildren

    For us, the FoxTrail was uncharted territory. After discovering how it works, it is interesting, exciting and also educational. Unfortunately some stations did not work. e.g. PISTOR no slider or blackboard available. SOLE the phone did not play the video after the call and last but not least FINI there was no FoxTrail QR code in the shop windows and thus no souvenir photo possible. It's too bad. Maybe the stations should be checked more often. Otherwise good idea.

    Response from the operator: Liebe Edith, Vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung und die 4 Sterne! Es freut uns sehr, dass dir deinen ersten Foxtrail gefallen hat. Umso mehr tut es uns leid, dass einige Stationen nicht wie geplant funktioniert haben. Deine Hinweise zu PISTOR, SOLE und FINI sind sehr hilfreich – wir haben sie bereits an unser Team weitergegeben, damit wir die betroffenen Stationen überprüfen und verbessern können. Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, uns das mitzuteilen. Wir hoffen, du gibst uns nochmals eine Chance – vielleicht auf einem anderen Trail? Herzliche Grüsse Dein Foxtrail-Team 🦊

    Beautiful trail - perfect with children!

    This was the perfect trail with my two children (8/11) - easy to solve and not too long. On this trail you can see some of the most beautiful places in the city of St.Gallen. Highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: Liebe Nadia, Vielen Dank für deine schöne Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass euch der Trail mit den Kindern so gut gefallen hat und ihr St. Gallen von seiner schönsten Seite erleben konntet. Genau solche Rückmeldungen motivieren uns enorm – danke fürs Teilen und Weiterempfehlen! Herzliche Grüsse aus dem Fuchsbau!

    Great how to know the city in a different way!

    It was exciting! Highly recommended to get to know a city like this. At some posts it was almost too boring. We would have liked to have puzzled more. It was a great day!

    Response from the operator: Vielen lieben Dank für das tolle und ehrliche Feedback. Wenn ihr einen etwas anspruchsvolleren Trail sucht, können wir euch den Trail Rosalie in Winterthur und den Trail Baccara in Rapperswil empfehlen. Liebe Grüsse aus dem Fuchsbau!

    Very good

    An exciting tour, you get to know the city and can solve exciting puzzles. It is often quite difficult though, we often had to look in the puzzle help.

    Response from the operator: Herzlichen Dank für dein super, aber auch ehrliches Feedback. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass euch die Rätsel gefallen haben und ihr die Stadt auf eine andere Art kennenlernen konntet. Vielen Dank auch für die Rückmeldung zu dem Schwierigkeitsgrad. Das werden wir gern intern weitergeben. Wir würden uns freuen, euch bald wieder auf einem anderen Trail begrüssen zu dürfen. Liebe Grüsse aus dem Fuchsbau

    St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zurich.

    How much does St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 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 St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban?

    +

    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 St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban?

    +

    Around 4 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does St. Gallen Foxtrail Columban 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.
