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.

4.00The walking tour was a great overview of the highlights of Zurich. Our group was a little large (15 people) and so it was difficult at times to follow our guide. There were some things we couldn't see with a group that big and so it would have been a bit better if the size was reduced. Overall good value though and our guide was very patient with everyone!
