Zurich's old reputation as little more than a staid financial centre no longer applies to this trendy, vibrant and picturesque Swiss city. A friendly local guide is waiting to show you lovely parks, a charming old town and a burgeoning restaurant and cultural scene on your private Zurich tour.

Zurich is an excellent walking city, and your guide would be delighted to stroll through the cobbled medieval streets of the old city centre with you, telling stories of the many architectural treasures you will pass. Enjoy a coffee and something sweet at the traditional Sprüngli Confectioner, and if the weather is fine, take a boat ride under the bridges on the Limmat River. Zürich hosts Europe's largest annual street party, so be prepared for an especially boisterous time if you arrive near the beginning of August!

Your guide is looking forward to taking you on private Zurich tour that shows you why their city is consistently ranked one of the best cities in the world to live.
