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.

5.00Costantine was an amazing guide who showed us around some of Zurich’s highlights. We travelled by bus, train, tram and even a cable car to get the best views of Zurich. Make sure to bring suitable shoes as there is some walking but nothing extensive. Constantine was full of knowledge of the local and surrounding areas and answered our numerous questions. We got to try some local chocolate and also received some gifts to take home. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zürich who wants to gain some important knowledge and to see the city with an experienced guide. Thank you so much!
Would recommend!

5.00Our guide, Constantine, was very knowledgeable and fun. He gave us a good sense of Swiss life, history, and culture. We loved how complete the tour was, in that we saw the old town, went up a mountain, and took a boat ride on the lake.
Great experience with ever better vibes

5.00Constantine was amazing! We had such a lovely group of strangers come together and truly have a blast. From quirky stories to silly jokes, I learned about Zurich and Switzerland while also seeing amazing views. No matter the weather, we trekked through and got to experience each piece of Zurich’s public transit without getting lost or confused. Constantine went above and beyond at the end of the tour, showing us his favorite chocolate shops and even escorting us to the street of restaurants for dinner! Friends were made, stories shared, and smiles on everyone :)
Guide has great energy and knowledge of Zurich, worth it!

5.00This tour is perfect if you want a good overview of Zurich in a short time like I did. Constantine, the tour guide, has the most incredible energy and knowledge of the city! Ask him anything from the Swiss social system, culture, to the country organisation and he almost always has the answer to these questions. He is also very open minded and happy to learn and teach. This makes him very easy to be around with and enjoy the experience. The tour does require a lot of walking, but come with a good pair of comfortable shoes, and all should be good! P.S. Also ask Constantine about his life, he is a great and charming storyteller.
