Zurich has a beautiful, historic old town. Many of the buildings are several hundred years old. In small, private groups, we, two local residents, will guide you for about two hours through winding alleys and cosy squares, right across the old town on both sides of the Limmat river. We will visit places where you can feel the rich history of the city and which can only be reached via special access.

A Thorough Historical Tour of Old Zurich

5.00Maria was a fantastic guide. We covered lots of ground and she pointed out many sites that were above street level that a casual walker would miss. Her wanderings led us through narrow alleyways that clearly showed her intimate knowledge of the city. Definitely good value for an expertly guided tour.
Great tour

5.00Great tour of the city! Took us to places we would have never found with beautiful view points of the city. You take a 2 minute funicular ride up to the University that Albert Einstein attended. Our tour guide had keys to get us in to see the wall that used to protect the city and the old sewage tunnel. It was really cool and the host was personable!
We were surprised by all we saw.
