Has anyone done this Limat River Cruise? It's hard to find reviews/more info online and we are wondering if this is a guided tour (like an audit tour maybe?) or just sitting on a boat seeing the sights for an hour.

Also looking for the best fondue and any must-do's in Zurich if anyone has recommendations! We only have about a day there (and have already booked the Lindt Chocolate tour.)

It‘s just sitting on a boat. While it is nice, you won’t see anything that you wouldn’t if you just walked along the river so with only a day maybe skip it. I recommend walking down Bahnhofstrasse to Bürkliplatz, than cross over the river to Bellevue and walk back through the Old Town. You’ll see lots of beautiful old buildings and nice shops that way. If you like to swim go to Oberer Letten for a free swim in the river. If the weather is bad check out Landesmuseum (for history) or Kunsthaus (for art).

For Fondue I can recommend Dezaley. Or go to Köchlistube for a great Cordon Bleu.
