Zürich Historic District Tour
Description
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.

Guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, personal and friendly. He took us to sites we would not been able to find on our own.
Fantastic walking tour of the old town of Zurich with an excellent guide, Nabila! We really enjoyed exploring the sights, squares, churches, and beautiful architecture of this gem of a city. Nabila was so knowledgeable and friendly, and made this a great experience! Would highly recommend taking this tour!
Hands down, an absolute excellent experience! A great two hours relearning and remembering all of the history that I took in school! That was mixed in with Maria’s sparkling commentary. Two comments—take hydration with you and wear comfortable shoes. My highest recommendation for a tour around Zurich
We had a great time waking around Zurich and learning so much!
Maria took us to places we would have never found out on our own. If you're interested in some history and some unusual ruins and locations then you would like this tour. We were able to see also the city from above and she pointed out all the interested places that we have just seen passing by. She also pointed out good places to eat and drink and suggested activities to experience for the next days. We had a great time!
Had a great time walking around Zurich and learning so much history! Would definitely recommend!!
Great experience. Visited a lot of niche areas of town. The unfortunate part was that many buildings were under construction at the time. Overall, would recommend!
Solid tour and a great value. Nice way to get highlights of town.
Our guide, Alexander, was prompt, professional and fun! This was a tour filled with magical secrets of Zurich Old Town guided by a true local. We got to see Albert Einstein's locker at the technical University, the gorgeous churches and the lovely Chagall windows! We, also, saw Secret gardens and majestic views!
Sophie was extremely thorough and thoughtful on her tour. She was very engaged with our small group. If you’re visiting and would like to get a behind the scenes view around the oldest parts of Zurich this is a great option! Both couples in our group enjoyed tremendously. Well done Sophie!!! From the Canadians!
