Overview
We begin the tour at Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most exclusive shopping streets. We stroll through this avenue, lined with luxury boutiques and cafes, and take in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. Then we walk to Fraumünster Church, where we can admire the beautiful yard that used to be a nunnery. Here our way continues to St. Peter’s Church, home to Europe’s largest church clock face. After this we take a short walk to Lindenhof Hill, a peaceful park offering stunning views over the Old Town, the river, and the distant Alps. We continue with a stroll along the Limmat River. This scenic walk is lined with historical buildings and offers a lovely view of both banks of the river. After this we head towards Niederdorf, a pedestrian-friendly quarter filled with narrow, winding streets. This area is brimming with medieval buildings, quaint shops, and cozy cafes. Our tour finishes at the iconic Grossmünster, famous for its twin towers.

Excellent tour
Yuliana was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable with historical and local fun facts. She was incredibly considerate to my mother’s mobility limitations. It was a perfect 2 hour tour.

Excellent tour guide with great information
Lincoln was an amazing tour guide and acclimated us to the city for our first day. He gave us wonderful insights and stories of the city, along with history. So friendly and helpful to recommend other sites to visit and eat.

Engaging Tour of Zurich
Vassilis was an engaging tour guide with a lot of information to give on Zurich and on Switzerland overall. He has a great repoire with teens and was very engaging. I wish we saw a bit more of Zurich but overall a good tour

Nice Walking Tour with Liana
We had a walking tour with Liana and it was a pleasant experience. She is a nice and pleasant woman who was very thoughtful towards our daughter. The City is beautiful and we loved our time there. The level of information we received in this tour and the ability for Liana to share the stories was average, so the 4 stars. The cost for this private tour is high, so I had high expectations. We just had a similar tour in Florence this morning, which blew us away and solidified my need to provide this review and feedback.

A walk in through an enchanting place... Magical!
Our private tour of Old Town Zurich was nothing short of amazing! Our guide’s deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm brought the city’s history to life in a way we never could have imagined. She shared fascinating insights, unveiling hidden gems and lesser-known sites that we would have completely overlooked on our own. Every moment was filled with engaging stories and historical details that made the experience both enriching and enjoyable. This tour was the perfect blend of exploration, history, and local charm. If you're looking for an unforgettable way to discover Zurich, this is it!
