Overview

This is my own favourite tour in Zurich!
I'll show you the most exciting parts of Zurich's old town. Sightseeing the way you want it, at your own pace, with nice spots for pictures, and much more. At about half of the tour, we will have a break - for coffee, ice cream, sandwiches or whatever you might like! It's a walking tour of approximately 2.5 - 3 hours, a good start for your stay!
The tour is open to anybody, and all free. The only thing you need is a ticket for Zurich's “zone 110”, and a pair of shoes!
Only adults (18+) are charged. It's a group walk, with a group price. So your price depends on how many we are!
