Highlights
Let me personally guide you on an individually arranged day tour, exploring Switzerland’s treasures by trains, boats, cablecars, buses and funiculars—just as we locals travel. My 17+ years of experience as a high school geography teacher allow me to craft fully customizable itineraries based on your preferences and specific interests with travel ideas you won’t find in conventional guidebooks. It is my passion to showcase Switzerland’s breathtaking landscapes — its lakes, valleys, and mountains — and to share our rich cultural heritage by strolling through picturesque villages, exploring vibrant cities, visiting historical landmarks, and learning local traditions. Gain insights from my academic background in geography and natural sciences. Join me - a truly Swiss local - as we venture into both renowned must-see and off-the-beaten-path destinations with the freedom and efficiency of Switzerland’s world-class public transport network, fully compatible with the Swiss Travel Pass.

About Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.
The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
