Ready to fall in love with Zurich?
Join us for The Ultimate Zurich Adventure—a six-hour deep dive into the heart, soul, and scenery of Switzerland’s most dynamic city. This isn’t your average city tour; we’re talking trams, boats, funiculars, and even a cable car—basically, every cool way to move except teleportation (we’re working on it).
We’ll stroll through charming streets, glide across Lake Zurich on a peaceful ferry ride, and take in jaw-dropping views from mountaintops like Uetliberg or Felsenegg—because Zurich isn’t just about banks and chocolate (though, yes, there will be chocolate).
Your local guide will keep things lively with quirky stories, fun facts, and maybe a few bad jokes (the good kind). Learn how Zurich became a cultural and commercial powerhouse, all while soaking up the atmosphere in a small group that feels more like friends on an adventure.
Let’s make Zurich your new favorite city.
Walking shoes recommended. Sense of adventure required.

5.00Constantine was very knowledgeable about Zurich and he provided a great tour. We walked for some of the tour, but also rode a cable car, bus, ferry and tram during our 6 hours together. It was a great way to see Zurich!

5.00We had only one day in Zürich and Constantine showed us as much as we could possibly imagine. He was extremely personable and helped us understand what Zürich and Switzerland were really like. At the end of the story he helped us find our train platform for the next day. It was well worth the money.
Great tour

Though the weather was a little drizzly, the views were still spectacular! Our tour guide, Constantine, was very nice, courteous and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting facts about the history, the various locations and the culture of Zurich. I enjoyed the experience very much!

5.00Our guide Constantine was fun and knowledgeable. We started walking to where we rode a funicular up to old town hill where the views were spectacular. Then we walked down through old town. Throughout the tour we took a train, a couple of trams and buses which added to the fun of the tour. We also took a cable car up a hill where we had a short hike and had lunch. Constantine gave us numerous pieces of information about Zürich history and culture in Switzerland in general. We took another bus ride to lake Zurich where we had a 40 minute cruise. At last we took another bus to our final destination at Zurich main train station. I recommend this tour to first time visitors. We really enjoyed it so much.
Excellent Tour
