1It was not we expected in...
It was not we expected in a city tour. Our guide appeared to be unprepared, unprofessional, and negative.
5Great personal tour
We had an excellent and informative tour. Our tour guide is a long time resident and knows all the history, details & interesting stories. She was able to get us into special places that you wouldn’t even know were there. This was a more petsonalized tour, better than a big bus tour. This is definitely a tour you don’t want to miss.
5Good overview of Zurich
A three hour walking tour that included a tram ride, hills, and stairs. Our guide, Sophie, was excellent and had a lot of information to share.
4Good tour and exercise!
Great tour of Old Town, with unexpected discoveries, like Einstein’s uni locker! Guide Lucas was good fun. Wear good walking shoes and bring a water bottle!
5Lovely tour
Our tour of Zurich was very good. Alex, our guide made it interesting and shared a lot of history about Zurich.
5Great tour of old town with sights you won’t see without a guide
Excellent, comprehensive tour of old town, both parts. We saw multiple hidden gems we didn’t even know existed. Guide provided great insights.

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).
