Private day tours › Guided walking tour of Zurich
Guided walking tour of Zurich
Two hours, a local guide, and no coach. The cheapest thing on this page and often the most useful — especially on a first afternoon, when you want to understand the city before you start spending days out of it.
What makes this day worth it
- A private guide for your group only, not a shared walking tour
- Grossmünster and Fraumünster with the Chagall windows
- Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz, the heart of Swiss banking
- The Limmat river, the old guild houses and Lindenhof
- Starts at your hotel door, so no meeting point to find
How the day runs

Narrow lanes on both banks of the Limmat, the guild houses, and Lindenhof for the view over the rooftops.

The churches
Grossmünster, where the Swiss Reformation began, and Fraumünster across the river with the Chagall stained glass.
- 4
Bahnhofstrasse and the lake
Down the shopping street to Paradeplatz and out to the lakefront, where the Alps show on a clear day.

Questions people ask before booking
Is CHF 240 per person?
No. It is for the whole group, up to eight people. Two people pay the same as six, which is why this works out cheaper than joining a shared tour once there are more than two of you.
Is two hours enough?
For the old town, yes. Zurich’s historic centre is small and walkable. If you want the museums or Uetliberg as well, ask us to extend it.
Can we do this the same day we arrive?
It is one of the better things to do on arrival day — light on energy, and it makes the rest of your trip easier because you know where everything is.
What if it rains?
The tour runs. Much of the old town is sheltered and your guide will lean on the churches and covered lanes.
Do you offer this in other cities?
Yes — Bern, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Vevey and Zermatt, same format and same price.
