This experience is provided by a private local.
You will get to see the hidden gems of Zurich, over the course of this 2-hour long walk. The first destination is a secret tunnel from the Middle Ages, which lies behind an almost invisible and locked door. It’s so inconspicuous that most people who have been living in Zurich for years don't even notice or know about it.
You will be visiting the only remnants of the city wall from the 13th Century with the city’s first water pipes, which are hidden and locked in the basement of a modern building.
Your adventure will continue through a hidden door on the ground of a famous park area, where thousands of people pass by every day without knowing about this door. You will climb down to find the historical walls of a Roman Fort and of the Royal Palace from the Middle Ages!

Our guide Douglas was spectacular, we got to know all the detailed insights about the historical aspects of Zurich, and have explored places we didn't know one could even see of Zurich. Both my partner and I, we can strongly recommend it.

Our guide was pleasant but not particularly knowledgeable about even basics such as the name of the rivers feeding Lake Zurich. If there were secret doors of Zurich, we did not have any opened for us. We walked around the old city without much direction. We learned more about Zurich after the tour looking up our unanswered questions.

Although our guide was very sweet, we really gained little to no information about the history doors or details/stories about Zurich’s history. The secret doors showed the water aqua ducts, sewer system and Roman baths. Our guide was flipping through printed notes about each of our stops and would read directly from those notes, and we actually gleaned more information by using our own Google Translate to read the signage inside the doors. We definitely did not get our money’s worth, as this tour was not even worth close to $100 per person. I had chosen this tour because I wanted to have a more personal experience in a small group, and were hoping to gain some insight into the history of Zurich. Overall we left disappointed and not knowing much more about the history of Zurich.

We experienced 3 of the 5 secret doors with David. He's also doing history tours so we had that also. Need to be more explicit on length of the walking in your description

Thank you to our guide Douglas!!
Excellent tour and Douglas’ knowledge of Zürich was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our two hour tour and yes they are truly “Secret Doors” and “Secret Keys”. The history of old Zürich was so interesting and informative. Would highly recommend!!!
