What to expect

Experience Zürich's old town on this private walking tour with your own local guide. This tour takes you to the Rechberggarten, an elevated park offering panoramic views across the city. You'll wander through the Niederdorf district with its cobblestone streets, historic buildings and lively atmosphere.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share local legends, including which of Zürich's landmarks is associated with the graves of patron saints and the surprising origin of a famous Zürich street's former name — "Ditch of the frogs" — revealing how urban development has transformed the city over centuries. You'll explore Bahnhofstrasse, lined with shops and banking institutions that stand as a testament to Zürich's reputation as a financial powerhouse. The journey also includes a visit to a historically significant hill where, according to local tradition, armed women once defended the city against an invading army.

This private tour offers a personalised exploration of Switzerland's largest city and will allow you to better understand its history and culture.
