Budget Tour Guide Recommendations in Zurich

Hi everyone,
We are two families traveling together to Switzerland and will be spending a day in Zurich in Late July. Between us, we have two ten-year-olds and a sixteen-year-old, so we’re hoping to find a budget tour guide who can keep things fun and engaging for both kids and adults. Thank you in advance!

Zurich TI offers a public city walking tour of about 90 minutes daily for around 15CHF per Person. Buy a few 24 hr Zurich Cards for this and a few other reductions.

Also includes a 90 minute roundtrip boat ride on Lake Zurich.
Commentary is in English and swiss german during summer.
It was brisk, and oriented me to different city highlights.

Prices vary according to age.
There is also a 72 hr version, but I doubt that you would use it.
A funicular trip up to the local "mountain" Uetliberg is also included. You can hike back down along multiple paths. It's a nice trip, taking a couple hours in total if you hike one way.
