Overview

This is not a typical city tour — it’s a complete Zurich experience designed to feel almost like a private tour.

With small groups, you won’t be rushed or lost in the crowd. Instead, you’ll explore Zurich at a relaxed pace, with real local insights and time to actually enjoy each place.

In one seamless experience, you’ll combine: a guided walk through the Old Town a scenic Lake Zurich cruise
a ride with historic and modern transport (funicular, tram, cable car)
panoramic views from the “local mountains” (Felsenegg or Uetliberg)

What makes this tour different is the flow: everything is carefully timed and connected, so you don’t waste time planning, waiting, or figuring things out.

You’ll experience Zurich the way locals do — moving through the city, not just looking at it.

Ideal for travellers who:

-prefer small, personal groups
-want to see a lot without feeling rushed
-value quality, comfort, and authentic experiences

Comfortable walking shoes recommended.

Activity itinerary

Polyterrasse ETH

30m
Admission ticket included

The tour begins with a brief ride on the Polybahn funicular, which whisks us from Central to the panoramic terrace in front of the main building of the Federal Institute of Technology in just three minutes. From this vantage point, you'll take in stunning views of the city while discovering fascinating insights into ETH, as well as Switzerland's contributions to education, science, and innovation.

Old Town

Explore the enchanting charm of Zurich's Old Town, a lively district steeped in history, culture, and timeless beauty. Stroll through its narrow, cobblestone streets, flanked by medieval buildings, boutique shops, and inviting cafés. Admire iconic landmarks such as the Grossmünster and St. Peter's Church, home to Europe’s largest clock face. Whether you're uncovering hidden alleys, browsing unique stores, or simply enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of its picturesque squares, Zurich's Old Town promises a captivating journey into the city’s rich heritage. The next few stops are all located within this historic quarter.

Grossmunster

We will marvel at the stunning exterior of the Grossmünster Church.

Fraumunster Church

The Fraumünster Church is one of Zurich's most iconic landmarks, known for its elegant architecture and stunning stained glass windows. We will admire it from outside.

St. Peter's Church

St. Peter's Church in Zurich is famous for having the largest clock face in Europe. With a diameter of 8.7 metres (28.5 feet), the clock dominates the church's tower and is a striking feature of Zurich's skyline.

Lindenhof Hill

Lindenhof is a tranquil oasis in the heart of Zurich, steeped in history dating back to 80 BC and recognised as the birthplace of the city's storey. With its stunning views, this picturesque park also serves as a perfect spot for capturing memorable photos.

Polybahn funicular

The Polybahn, in operation since 1889, connects the central square near Zurich’s main train station (Central) with the upper part of the city, leading to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).

Rindermarkt

Rindermarkt is a historic and picturesque square in Zurich’s Old Town (Altstadt), known for its charming blend of medieval architecture and modern city life. Once a bustling cattle market — as its name suggests — Rindermarkt has transformed into a lively area filled with cosy cafés, boutique shops, and inviting restaurants.

Lake Zurich

1h
Admission ticket included

After exploring the city and taking a short hike on the local hill, we’ll return to Zurich by boat. During the 45-minute cruise on Lake Zurich, we’ll talk about chocolate while passing by the Lindt Chocolate Factory and admire one of the lake’s most exclusive areas, home to celebrities like Tina Turner.

Felsenegg

1h
Admission ticket included

After the city walking tour, we’ll head to one of Zurich’s local gems, either Uetliberg or Felsenegg, where we’ll take a short train or aerial cable car ride to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. This popular recreational spot for locals offers stunning vistas of Zurich, the lake, and the snow-capped Alps. We’ll also take a leisurely hike along the unique "Planetweg" trail, which showcases a scaled-down model of our solar system. Surrounded by the fresh air and beauty of the forest, we’ll wrap up the experience with a scenic boat ride back to Zurich.
