“We did a private city tour of Zurich with Anna in the summer of 2024 - end July to be exact. Where the 4 hours went, we have no idea! Anna kept us engaged the entire time with historic facts, stories about the many revolutions that were started in Zurich, and walks through hidden passage ways to parts of the old city. Her access to certain archeological sites was brilliant. The quaintness of sitting under a tree in one of the squares to taste various types of cheese, chocolate, Rivella, and cherry liqueur that Anna kept pulling out of her bag was a highlight for us. It was sequential, thoughtful,…”

A 2-hour small-group walk through Zurich Old Town, with Einstein sites, Fraumünster and Chagall windows, and a quick Polybahn ride.
“The tour visited the significant historical sites of Zurich. The guide pointed out many details and her explanations were good. The tour is strenuous with hills and many steps. Our guide's pace was too fast (several people in our small group complained) and that made the walk more strenuous than necessary. If one stopped to take photos, you had to hurry to catch up because the guide kept going. We joked that she wanted to finish early to go home and, indeed, the "2 hour" tour was 1 3/4 hours. An extra 15 minutes of walking at a slower pace to enjoy the view would have made this tour better.”

“Our guide quoted an inordinate amount of dates and history at a rapid speed, but failed to give adequate local knowledge and feelings of Zürich. We were unable to get into the main church because of filming during the month - he was unaware of this and did not show us inside any other church as an alternative eg St Peters. In our next tour chocolate tour we learnt that the clock face was the largest in Europe bigger than Big Ben and the building was owned by both the canton and state. Such details are interesfing and memorable - this was not the information we got from our guide.…”

“The guide, Greg, gave too many statistics. He hurried between sights, too fast for me to keep up. He ignored photographic opportunities. He spent most of the time on the wonders of Swiss achievements, rather than small anecdotes about the various buildings and sights that we passed.”
