Zurich: eTukTuk Cheese Fondue Tour with Wine & Old Town

Summary

Cheese fondue, Zurich’s old lanes and a rolling eTukTuk ride

You’ll ride through Zurich’s Old Town in an electric Tuk Tuk with a local guide, sharing stories and laughter over bubbling Swiss cheese fondue and white wine. Watch city life pass by Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz as you dip bread and potatoes, catching small moments that stick with you long after the tour ends.

What’s the experience like?

Hands you a glass of white wine before you even sit down — that’s how our Zurich eTukTuk tour started. I was still zipping up my jacket when our guide, Daniel, grinned and asked if I’d ever eaten fondue in a moving vehicle. (Nope.) We picked up the steaming pot from this tiny kitchen just off Europaallee — the smell hit first, all nutty and sharp. My friend tried to pronounce “Chäsi” and Daniel nearly spit his wine laughing.

The city felt different from inside the eTukTuk. You’re lower to the ground, so trams rattle past almost at eye level and you catch these little details — someone’s dog barking at Paradeplatz, or the way Bahnhofstrasse shop windows reflect the gray sky. We dipped bread into hot cheese as we rolled by Grossmünster Church. Daniel pointed out stained glass windows I never would’ve noticed on foot. The potatoes were soft and perfect for scooping up the last bits of fondue; I probably got cheese on my scarf but honestly didn’t care.

Old Town was busy but not rushed — people chatting outside bakeries, a couple of students waving at us from their bikes. There was this moment near Predigerplatz where everything went quiet except for church bells somewhere behind us. I thought about how weirdly comforting it is to eat something so warm while watching rain streak down ancient stone walls. The whole thing lasted about an hour and a half but felt slower, in a good way.
