نظرة عامة
What do people usually say about Zurich? Switzerland's financial heart... The city of bankers and shoppers... The streets where everyone is in a hurry... We invite you to get to know a radically different Zurich. Think 500 years back and imagine a medieval city with medieval customs. An executioner lives somewhere nearby, across the street they are taking a woman suspected of witchcraft to prison, and not very far away the city council is deciding on how to execute the guy who stole four bags of salt. Do you want to see and find out where people were tortured in Zurich and how, where the pillory was located and where executions took place? We will not only guide you through the key places associated with this dark side of the city, but also tell the true story of the real people. You will learn how stoically the beautiful Elsbeth, suspected of witchcraft, endured torture, how cruelly the maid Adelheid was executed, and how rich Agatha did not manage to escape a death sentence.

Great little self guided tour!
Very easy to follow and very informative. It’s a great way to walk about the city and see things perhaps you may not encounter otherwise. Easy to understand. Definitely go inside the church to see the stained glass windows. Appreciate all the hard work to put this together.

A fascinating journey through the history of Zurich
This is my second tour from this author, and I am absolutely delighted again! It was incredibly interesting to delve into historical events and listen to the personal stories of ordinary people who lived at the time and whose lives were connected to the places where I was at the time of the audition. The itinerary is very original and fascinating - it reveals Zurich from a new perspective. Thanks to the actual photos, it was easy to navigate the terrain, so it is simply impossible to get lost! I would like to express my special gratitude for the quality of the audio support: the author's voice is pleasant and disposing, and the melody in the background creates a special atmosphere, as if it were transported back in time. Once again, thank you very much to the author for your work! Looking forward to more tours!

I would suggest this activity.
This definitely got you walking around the town more than we would normally have, but the audio has a lot of filler facts or list of facts that don’t really add to the experience. I think it’s okay to do if you’re looking for some interesting facts about the city and it gives you an insight to the darker side of the city. I think it was just too dark for me because I’m sensitive to human rights, and there doesn’t seem to have been much of that back then.

We had to ask for assistance for the link to work and took long time to load . If Rick Steves would have been available would have done his tour.

So-so great!
It was so great! I loved the tour. I could walk at my own pace, could read text in case of background noise or misunderstandings. I'm impatient to take another tour!
