Zurich Private Customizable Guided Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
You'll explore Zurich through the eyes of someone who actually lives here. In just under two hours, you'll uncover 2,000 years of history, tracing Zurich's transformation from a Roman toll point into the city with the highest quality of life in the world, while encountering the surprising legacies of Charlemagne, Lenin, Einstein, Chagall, Zwingli, and the Dadaists who rewrote modern art just steps from where you'll be standing.
Beyond the famous landmarks, your guide will lead you down secret medieval alleys, share the legends, and reveal the hidden corners and local stories that guidebooks leave out.
Every guest also receives our exclusive Swiss Insider Card: a card that unlocks access to a page with all you need for your stay (from the live temperature of the water to the best photo spots).
The tour can be adapted to your wishes and the route can be changed, for example the pick up place, the focus (more historic or more on the business environment).

5.00Lianna was a wonderful tour guide. She was a local who shared her deep historical knowledge. It gave us both a historical and local perspective. She also provided us with many other insights into Zurich. We really enjoyed the experience and would do it again.

5.00It was really amazing. At that day 07.01.2026 was really freezing, I didn’t expect it was going to take place. Then I was worried that to find a group would be difficult but not. It was a wonderful experience, easy to find the group, full and reach history of the city and its all free of charge. Only if you want to leave tips. The tour guide very interesting. 5 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

3.00Guide was friendly and well spoken but not from Zurich and his tour was very basic and in some places silly. Didn't really learn that much of the history nor the heart of Zurich.
