Overview

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.

Meeting points

The meeting point is on Hirschen-Platz at Niederdorfstrasse 11, directly in front of the entrance to the Hotel Hirschen. Please do not enter the hotel, they do not know about our tours

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Phenomenal experience. I participated in the 6pm tour. Despite it being after the sunset, all the sights seen were beautifully lit. The tourguide was personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour!

Must do in Zürich

Our tour with Maria was amazing! We learned so much about the history of Zürich and got to see so many cool spots. We recommend this to anyone visiting Zürich!

Alexander gave us such a great feel of Zurich, past and present. Our young kids were so engaged and his humour and knowledge added to this fantastic experience!

Great tour. Learned a lot about Zürich in a relatively short period of time. Helped us appreciate the old town a lot more.

Perfect for first day in Zurich

Published on Dec, 2024

Very informative about the culture and history of Zurich and saw a lot! Our tour guide braved the rain/snow weather and made sure we were taken care of. So happy we did this tour our first night in Zurich since we were able to get our bearings and explore on our own after that. Meeting location was easy to find too.
