A private day in Zurich for guests who want the city by water, table and spa: a private boat along Zurich's Gold Coast, the Lindt Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg, lunch at Lake Side Zürich and three hours at The Dolder Grand Spa with a 60-minute massage. Pickup is at your Zurich hotel at 08:00, in a chauffeured luxury car for two guests, a premium van for larger groups.

08:00 – Hotel Pickup by Chauffeured Luxury Car Your chauffeur awaits at your hotel entrance. Settle into plush leather seats, if you have not eaten yet, enjoy a light breakfast of coffee and croissants, as you glide through Zurich’s elegant morning streets toward the waterfront. The air feels calm, the day filled with promise.

08:15 – Private Boat Cruise along Zurich’s Gold Coast Your private captain welcomes you aboard a classic wooden salon boat. The lake glitters under soft sunlight as champagne mimosas are poured and the skyline recedes. Hillside villas and quiet vineyards line the shore, this is the Gold Coast, Zurich’s most exclusive enclave. The moment feels cinematic, relaxed, and timeless.

10:00 – Lindt Home of Chocolate visitor house (hall from 09:30; first audio-guide tour 10:00) Disembark at Kilchberg for the Lindt Home of Chocolate visitor house (next to the historical factory — not the factory floor). Hall from 09:30; first audio-guide tour from 10:00. Marvel at the towering chocolate fountain, explore immersive exhibits, and savor tastings from Switzerland’s most famous chocolatier. A sensory delight blending history, craftsmanship, and pure indulgence.

11:15 – Continue by Boat to Zürichhorn Step back on board for a short, serene journey to Zurich’s lake promenade. The city reappears in elegant tones of blue and green, sailboats drift by, and the Alps shimmer faintly beyond. This graceful glide marks the midpoint of your luxury escape.

12:00 – Gourmet Lunch at Lake Side Zürich with Wine Pairings Awaiting you is a reserved table at Lake Side Zürich, one of the city’s most celebrated waterfront restaurants. Choose the terrace or refined interior, each offering panoramic views of lake and sky. Savor a multi-course seasonal menu paired with fine Swiss wines, a perfect harmony of flavor and scenery. Lake Side rests Monday and Tuesday from October to March; on those days we hold a table at another lakeside room on the same shore.

14:00 – Private Transfer to Zürichberg Hills Your driver takes the scenic ascent through tree-lined boulevards into the tranquil Zürichberg district. The air cools, the views widen, and the pace slows once more as anticipation builds for your afternoon of ultimate relaxation.

14:15 – Three-Hour Indulgence at The Dolder Grand Spa (60-Minute Massage Included) Enter a sanctuary of elegance and calm. The Dolder Grand Spa welcomes you with thermal pools overlooking lake and mountains. Drift through saunas, steam rooms, and relaxation zones before surrendering to a signature 60-minute massage tailored to your needs. Time stretches, the world fades.

17:15 – Return to Hotel, Smooth Drop-Off Rejuvenated and glowing, you return by private vehicle to your hotel. The day concludes just as it began, effortlessly refined. Velvet Escape is more than a tour; it’s a curated journey through Zurich’s most exquisite pleasures.
