Highlights
Outing Highlights
Festive Lighting on Quiet Streets
The route focuses on Zurich’s holiday illumination—riding slowly through decorated avenues lets you take in the scale and detail of the city’s seasonal lighting displays while remaining warm and sheltered in the eTukTuk.
Passing Christmas Markets
The tour passes Zurich’s charming Weihnachtsmärkte so passengers can see market stalls and atmosphere from the vehicle; note that the itinerary purposely does not include stops or disembarkation at the markets.
Homemade Glühwein Onboard
Each guest receives 2 dl of house Glühwein during the ride—an element that turns the city tour into a compact tasting and social moment amid the winter lights.
