3 in 1: Zurich Walking Tour - Cruise on the Lake - Cable Car Ride to Felsenegg

About this activity

Discover the magic of Zurich on an adventure designed to let you experience the city like a local.

We begin with a guided walking tour through Zurich’s charming Old Town.

After a quick lunch we glide across the sparkling waters on a scenic ferry ride on Lake Zurich. Sit back, relax, and take in postcard-perfect views of the city skyline, and on clear days—the majestic Alps in the distance.

The journey continues as we head toward one of Zurich’s local “little mountain”, where a short cable car ride lifts you above the city. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views, fresh alpine air, and a peaceful escape from the urban buzz.

This tour is ideal for those who want to feel Zurich, not just see it—to move through it and breathe it in.

Per request, wrap up your city tour with an unforgettable finale—an afternoon escape to the majestic Rhine Falls, where golden light meets thundering water. A perfect ending that turns a great day in Zurich into a truly spectacular experience.
