Overview

Are you willing to avoid the "tourist bubbles" and to discover the charm of the tiny cobblestone streets in the Old Town, to walk through the parks and pedestrian zones, to feel the smells, to hear the bells, to fill your bottle with fresh water at one of the 1200' fountains that Zurich has to offer, to enjoy the nearby nature oases and to relax on a ferry cruise? Then you're on the right page. This is the tour that offers you a good introduction to Zurich and great photo opportunities.

Greg was so knowledgable and helpful. We learned a lot about the history of Zurich, and got a lot of fun facts we would have been clueless about without the tour. And Lake Zurich is beautiful!

Greg was an excellent tour guide giving good facts and keeping watch over the group, so everyone felt safe. We walked, used various means of transportation and even had a spectacular view of the snow covered mountains. The Lake Cruise also had great views. I would highly recommend this tour. You’ll definitely need your walking shoes.

I absolutely can’t recommend this enough but be warned Zurich has some steep street and if you are old or infirm you may find it hard going. Thankfully I am not and our charming, funny, well scripted and well-rehearsed tour guide Greg gave us the best city walking tour I’ve been on for many years - full of fun facts and interesting perspectives on the Swiss and their history and customs. Greg looked after us well and got us the best photo ops all the way. Five star +++ tour

We had a fantastic walking tour led by Craig. He went the extra mile to show us more than what was included in our tour. He spent an extra two hours with us --showing a wonderful hiking area and spectacular view of the city. He was very helpful with showing people how to get back to their destinations, depending on if they wanted to stay with the boat ride longer or follow him to the next great adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and saw so much of the city. It was definitely worth it.
