Fantastic 5.0
It's very convenient to purchase through Klook. Each person receives a ticket with their own name and a QR code, so there's no need to print it out. Whenever a staff member checks tickets, just show the QR code for them to scan. With a Swiss Travel Pass, even if you take the wrong train, you don't have to worry about paying extra fare. It's recommended that traveling companions also take a screenshot, just in case there's an issue with the phone, so there's a spare. Sometimes you need to pay attention to the seats, which will indicate which station to which station they are reserved for; if you see that, do not sit there. This time I used the pass to take free cable cars, boats, and so on. Although the pass is expensive, it is totally worth it.

a better option and more pocket friendly than the STP, especially if combined with other tickets like the gonegrat bahn zermatt or jungfrau travel pass. cannot recommend enough as travelling in swiss alone is $$$. easy to use and if conducter comes to check, just present the QR code that is provided once this ticket is purchased. thanks Klook for this offer!

Good hotel with nice views and friendly staff. The location is a bit further out and the room could do with a mini fridge.

Great 4.0
Overall, it's very convenient. While it's a bit of a distance from the station, it's not inconvenient to pull luggage. Be careful if you need to store luggage; there are very few and small spaces, and anything over 26 inches won't fit. Early check-in with luggage storage costs 50 Swiss Francs.

Our departure was Zurich and took us 2hrs to get to the destination. We went to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Interlaken. This tour is ideal for active people, who walks a lot. The tour would need you to walk on inclined paths. Not ideal for people with difficulty in walking. We did the cliff walk at Grindelwald First(an option with additional fee of 70 CHF per person), however there were fog and the mountains were not visible. Ideal for a day trip/short trip to Switzerland but still want to see/experience the beauty of the mountains and make the most out of their Switzerland trip. Overall, our tour was very nice, peaceful and refreshing. Our guide is very patient and really explained clearly the areas while our driver really took care of us and drove safely. It was a good experience and I would recommend this to young people who are up for adventure.

What to know before visiting Zurich

Overview of Zurich and what people book

Zurich draws travellers with a mix of day tours, museums and cruises — those three categories account for the bulk of bookings. Demand swings through the year, with a pronounced summer peak and much lighter interest in late autumn, shaping when museums and sightseeing tours see most visitors.

Best times to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data shows demand peaks in July and is at its lowest in November. Price data across the available months indicates fares and activity prices are highest around January and drift down through the spring into June, which Klook bookings typically show as the cheapest month. If crowd-free, lower-cost travel is your aim, consider visiting in June or the quieter autumn month of November; travellers after lively summer atmosphere should aim for July and August. Demand and price don’t move perfectly together here: peak demand is mid-summer while the very highest prices occur in January, so you can avoid crowds in summer by planning around popular weeks while still expecting mid-range prices.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most experiences in Zurich can be booked fairly close to travel — Klook data shows typical bookings happen about six days ahead, with last-minute options possible. If you’re travelling in the peak months named above, consider locking in popular tours a few weeks earlier to secure spots; for shorter trips you’ll still find flexibility. Use Klook to compare tour and museum options and pick times that match your schedule and crowd preferences.
