The most popular tour through Zurich´s historic old town offers fascinating insights into the city´s colorful history.
What do Einstein, James Joyce and Wagner have in common? All three were residents of Zurich. But it´s not only great minds who are captivated by this lakeside city with its well-preserved old town – people from all over the world have always flocked to the thriving metropolis.
On a two-hour walk through the old town, we go searching for clues to the city´s past in its hidden alleyways and picturesque squares. Together, we uncover the secrets of Bahnhofstrasse, find out what a "procession axis" is, and visit a church with a minute-hand that jumps a record-breaking half meter every minute.
This popular tour is filled with numerous astonishing and amusing anecdotes and has plenty to offer both visitors and locals alike.

The tour covered a great deal of the old town and its history. The drawings and photos depicting life in the past added to our understanding of the old city. Plus, we went into a small building that contained a model of the old town which was interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable and experienced.
The only thing I would suggest is for this tour to have a better explanation and a photo of the meeting point. I had a hard time finding it despite using Google Maps which wasn’t that accurate.

Beautiful walk through old town. Eugenie was very knowledgeable about the history and culture. I would like to have gone inside of some old churches.

Excellent guide. Small group. Hills in Old Town too strenuous for me. Had to drop out in middle. Everyone else did fine.

This was a good basic tour of Zurich but I was a little disappointed that it didn't really cover all three major churches. Understood that it is just an overview but it seems that it could have done a little more with some of the more important buildings. However, it was good and I would definitely recommend it.

We booked a walking tour of Zurich through the Visitor information office in the main train station. The booking clerk was very helpful and patient. Our guide met us at the designated meeting spot and was very knowledgeable about the history of Zurich. We saw lots of historic spots and I felt I learned a lot about Zurich in the 2 hours we spent on the tour. She also pointed out some good spots to eat and shop which was much appreciated.
