This tour was amazing! I was concerned that being on a couch bus would limit us and I wasn’t expecting much. I could not been more wrong. We saw so much and Zurich is so stunning. The views from the castle and the rose garden were so stunning. We visited 3 countries and this by far was the best tour out of everything we did. We saw so much in just a day. The tour guide was fantastic too.
