We really enjoyed our guide and learning a number of things on this tour. It was well organized and helped to orient us to Zurich where we would be spending some extra time after a longer trip in several other countries.

On a cold rainy morning we met up with natalja . A lovely young lady who took us just 2 of us for a walking tour of her city. Very knowledgeable and explained the buildings with complete history. We did wander off the track a couple of times and aired our views with her on swiss banking and the refugee system and education . She was very happy to talk on these subjects which made this a lovely educational walk. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has two hours to spare. Actually by the time we left her we ran to nearly three hours.

This was a great tour. We were staying in Lucerne and wanted to Visit Zurich for the day. We took the train to Zurich which was a breeze and meet our guide inside the train station in Zurich. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. He walked us around to all the important sites and filled us in on all of the historical information regarding the sites. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Zurich or even one of the nearby cities!

Our guide, Maria did a great job. This is a good way get to know Zurich when you first get there. You can revisit places later, I would recommend to anyone who has not been to Zurich as this get you acquainted with the key points of interest in the altstadt. We did have a quick rain shower on the walk, be sure to bring an umbrella.

Maria did a great job! She knows the city very well and was chatty and happy to share information on any questions asked. Our group was small and everyone had a great time. She ended the tour with some chocolate!! Definitely worth it! The train station where you meet is very, very large! You actually meet right under the art work of the Angel in the station.

We could have done this tour on our own with a map. The guide, while he was very pleasant, was not very informative.
