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.

5.00My wife and I enjoyed the walking tour of historic Zürich even with the rain. Our guide, Maria, was informative and adjusted the pace to accommodate all parties. She even shared her umbrella. We really enjoyed the basement viewing of the old city walls that if not on the tour would have never heard or seen. We even got a cherished cat story that only a local would know. If it had not been a Sunday, I am sure we might have seen more interior settings as they were closed.
Medium.

3.00Protocol. It's not worth it. Free tour Zurich much, but much better. It seemed that the guide was carrying out a bureaucratic activity.
Wonderful Tour

5.00Our tour was fantastic! I’m having a senior moment, because I have forgotten her name. But she was wonderful. We were the only two on the tour, but she did not cancel or reschedule. A huge plus. She took us throughout the Old Town, and even showed us some sites extra because we moved so well. Really a great first day tour to get acclimated to a beautiful city. Highly recommend!
Loved getting to tour...
