Unique and entertaining tour
The tour guide shares his love of the Chur’s (pronounced Khoor) history with insights from local lore and song. It’s a challenge. The town’s history dates to the Stone Age because it occupies the crossroads of the only north south and east west valleys connecting Switzerland. It therefore played an important role in the trade between Germany and Austria to the north, France to the , and Italy to the south. The guide explains the history of how this small village came to patiently evolve out of the feudal system, and into a self governing council representing the local guilds in the area. Similarly, the towns, history balances, hosting a bishop since 400 A.D. while eventually adapting to a “reformed“ protestant church (who is two main edifices are only a few blocks from each other). The Guide even provides an excellent introduction into the local German and. Romansch languages (and the patch work local dialects of these languages) through the example of folk songs sung by the Guide.

Walking tour of Chur
Hans was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of the lovely city of Chur. He gave us a historical perspective of the city, and while our tour was only 90 minutes he was able to give us a broad scope of the city.

Chur has some interesting history…and is a cute, quite sizable town.
We had a nice 90 minute walking tour & appreciated some interesting information about Chur & ties to the Romans. It would have been helpful in the tour description to allude to, other than it is the oldest town in Switzerland, the fact that 90% of the town burnt down in the 14th century, as my expectations of seeing earlier architecture would have been a bit different. However, there is a lot of history & stories, that can be brought out in stronger story lines than we were presented which could spark more intriguing narratives. At times, the town appeared to be right out of “Pillars of the Earth”, so that was really fascinating to me, especially how the cathedral was built & remodeled through history. As it was, we were taken to sites of interest, just could have used some more ‘zip’ in the narrative because there appears to be a lot of history & stories to build on.
