Overview of your Zurich tour

Discover the highlights of Zürich City on this 90 minute tour. This is the perfect walk for those who only have an abbreviated time to explore. We will travel both sides of the Limmat River; from the Bahnhofstrasse with its banks, watches and luxury goods, to the guildhalls and medieval churches on the opposite side. I'll lead you along the cobblestone streets and show you where the Romans and Carolingians settled. And of course no Swiss tour is complete without seeing a chocolate shop or two. In addition to all this we will view some charming fountains, actually a lot of fountains. Zürich started creating fountains in the Middle Ages and never seemed to stop. Come visit Zurich with me, a cosmopolitan city filled with Swiss tradition. PS: If you have more time please join me for a longer exploration of Zurich on my other Zurich City Walk.

We had a wonderful time exploring Zurich with Cynthia. While we learned so much about the city, her advice on what to see and where to eat after the tour was just as valuable. Thanks to Cynthia we left Zurich with so many outstanding memories. I’d recommend her to everyone coming to Zurich!

Cynthia's personal biographical information was an exact description of her and her work. We were personally impressed by her deep knowledge of local history and her ability to turn that knowledge into an interesting and engaging city walk. We had booked her for two city walks - Basel and Zurich - and we were so impressed with her performance that we immediately added a third. Cynthia's personality was so enjoyable on a personal level it was as if she was treating us as her friends rather than as her clients. She was equally as good outlining to us the broad picture of the history of the cities as well as being able to describe the more intimate details of the town and it's daily life. Cynthia was also able to give us some very useful recommendations for both dining and cultural visits. In the final analysis, she was the perfect tour guide for both of us and the cities.

Cynthia is a fabulous guide! She possesses the right mix of local knowledge and historical context to make her tours meaningful based on the priorities of the visitor. If we could give her six stars, we would!

What a wonderful experience. Cynthia's knowledge and enthusiasm for the city and its history was just what we were looking for in a private tour. Even though we only had 90min time it was worth it and we both learned a lot.
