An Unforgettable Tour with Nina
Nina was, without a doubt, one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She took us all around the city and showed us places we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop came with fascinating stories and historical context, and she answered every question we had with incredible knowledge and genuine passion.
What amazed us most was how young she is while already being such an expert on the city’s history and the broader history of Europe. Her enthusiasm was contagious and made every moment of the tour engaging and memorable.
If you’re considering a tour with this company, I highly recommend it, but if you can, be sure to request Nina. She truly made our experience exceptional and is a huge reason we’ll remember this trip for years to come.
Operator response
We're absolutely delighted to hear your experience was such a memorable one. It’s wonderful to know you discovered places you wouldn't have found on your own while gaining a deeper appreciation of the city's history through such engaging storytelling.
Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad this became a highlight of your trip and a memory you'll carry with you for years to come.

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Nina. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept our whole family engaged. It was our first time in Zurich and we loved learning so much about the city. Our lunch spot was delicious and the hot chocolate along the way was perfect for a cold day. Highly recommend this tour and Nina as a guide!
