I live in Zurich and I’m a big hiker, so I'm always looking for ways to blend my love for hiking into everyday life. Zurich Urban Hikes was such a cool surprise! It gave me a whole new appreciation for the city - taking me through hidden paths, "secret" passageways, and green spaces I hadn’t explored, even after years of living here. Giada even included some Swiss treats at the end! Definitely recommend as a fun, active way to explore the city.Fun way to discover the city!

Giada was the best tour guide! This was action packed! She was knowledgeable and caring! So many activities up on the mountain! Breath taking views! The sun was shinning above but it was sooo cold! The rotating gondola on top was amazing! She explained what we could do and gave suggestions! We were on the suspension bridge, amazing! The ski lift thing, something Flyer had spectacular views and you watched people skiing! We liked walking inside the glacier, but very slippery, hold on tight! They had tubing, but we did not do that. So much fun, all day! We ate at the snack shop! I highly recommend going on this tour! Enjoyed it so much!!!Outstanding, a must do!!
