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.

Our tour of Zurich was very good. Alex, our guide made it interesting and shared a lot of history about Zurich.
Excellent, comprehensive tour of old town, both parts. We saw multiple hidden gems we didn’t even know existed. Guide provided great insights.
Thank you for your positive review!
You will see both the obvious historical highlights ad well as hidden gems around both parts of the old town. Great narration of history and the sites. Friendly and engaging guide. Good exercise as well, wear good walking shoes.
Thank you very much for your very positive review, Jackie. We were happy to pass it on to Nabila. We're glad you enjoyed our tour.
It was a nice tour but not the depth of historical context we are used to in city tours. Guide was friendly.
I’m so sorry about that, if you had mentioned on the tour , I could have adapted to suit your expectations. Friendly regards
Our Tour Guide was incredible, she literally opened our eyes to Zürich-ancient and up to today! Plus she was sensitive to our slower needs while helping others on tour to move forward. And we had the pleasure of fun fellow tour members!
Thank you so much¨
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!
Thank you for your nice review!
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
Thank you so much !!! Loved to take you around. Maria
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!
Thank you so much, was a pleasure!
