This is not a typical city tour — it’s a complete Zurich experience designed to feel almost like a private tour.
With small groups, you won’t be rushed or lost in the crowd. Instead, you’ll explore Zurich at a relaxed pace, with real local insights and time to actually enjoy each place.
In one seamless experience, you’ll combine: a guided walk through the Old Town a scenic Lake Zurich cruise
a ride with historic and modern transport (funicular, tram, cable car)
panoramic views from the “local mountains” (Felsenegg or Uetliberg)
What makes this tour different is the flow: everything is carefully timed and connected, so you don’t waste time planning, waiting, or figuring things out.
You’ll experience Zurich the way locals do — moving through the city, not just looking at it.
Ideal for travelers who:
-prefer small, personal groups
-want to see a lot without feeling rushed
-value quality, comfort, and authentic experiences
Comfortable walking shoes recommended.

5.00We did a lot of walking (as well as tram, bus, boat). We liked that it was an active tour without being exhausting. We received a good orientation to Zurich while learning about some history and the city as it is todayl Our guide, Constantin, was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly and we could understand him very well. Glad that he was our guide.

5.00As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience Zurich. This tour was the perfect mix of culture, nature, and fun—trams, a relaxing boat ride on Lake Zurich, and even a cable car with breathtaking views. Our guide, Constantin, was fantastic: incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and engaging, and he made me feel completely comfortable from the very beginning. His stories, local insights, and great sense of humor brought Zurich to life in a way I wouldn’t have experienced on my own. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with friends. I left with wonderful memories, beautiful photos, and a genuine love for Zurich. Highly recommended, especially for solo travelers!
Great Tour

5.00Our guide for today was Constantin who came here from Romania in 2010. There was only one other person on the tour, a finance person from Canada. We started out by walking to the Polybahn funicular, with a short ride to a vantage point to look down on the old city and to admire one of the over 12,500 water features scattered throughout the city. Then he pointed out how bomb shelters are hidden in plan view within the city. He pointed out one of the ancient clocks that provide accurate time when the sun is shining. We also saw many vintage street signs and murals of interest. We walked down by the river for a view of the Roman wall, then walked to the top of the wall for a view down on the city and the river. Constantin pointed out the largest clock face in Europe, even bigger than Big Ben, on St Peter’s Church which dates back to 1336. We went on to view Fraumunster Church with it’s Chagall windows and the mural of the beheading and then took us to where it actually occurred. We then took a train to Adliswil station and the Talstation LAF for a multi person gondola ride up to Felsenegg at 800 meters where we spent about a half hour and enjoyed a cup of tea. We walked down to the bus station and took Bus 156 down to the ferry dock, where we boarded the Albis. We enjoyed about a 40-minute ride making a couple of stops before heading back to the city. Constantin joined us on a tram heading back to Central Station where we got off. He showed us where we could find some good restaurants down a side street.
Constantine was a hit!

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

5.00This tour was a great way to see Zurich! And it includes every manner of transportation available in Zurich, except for a car! 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!
