Fabulous tour - Anna K took us on a 3.5 hr tour and it was fabulous. She is very knowledgeable about Zurich and provided a great deal of history from the Roman times until now. She also took us into hidden places most tours can’t go, such as the remaining sections of the old city walls. Would highly recommend this tour if you want to know more than just the locations of various points of interest..

History, Hidden Gems, and Tasty Delights - My trip to Zurich was unforgettable, thanks to my amazing guide, Anna. Her incredible knowledge of history made every story come alive. Anna shared all the hidden gems and local tips. We also explored the remnants of Roman history underground, and she offered a fascinating glimpse into Zurich's early days. On our lunch break, Anna brought cheese, local beverages, and chocolate for me to taste. Anna’s passion for history and her expertise made the tour a very memorable time in Zurich.

Great Guide and That Made a Great Tour! - This is an excellent tour. This is hours walking around on steps as well as on cobblestones and regular concrete streets, but there is time in between the steps---they don't come all at once. We went into basement-type locations to look at old Roman walls, and other interesting points that are unique for only certain, very good tours, that take the time to plan out the best experience. When the guide has to unlock a door to get you to a location, you know not everybody sees it. Tons of tourists upstairs, but we got to see some unique things.

Great tour! - Unbelievable experience especially since my husband and I were the only participants and they didn’t cancel the tour! Our guide Anna was incredibly pleasant and knowledgable and led us through the streets as well as some hidden areas for nearly 4 hours. Fortunately we did stop for a drink and some cheese and chocolates, which gave us the energy to continue. I would highly recommend this tour but be sure to wear your walking shoes, as there are some hills and steps to climb. What a great day spent in a city full of history.

zürich 360 tour - tour guide was excellent. tour was interesting. Only criticism is that description makes it sound like you are going to get tastings from locations along the way on tour as opposed to guide pulling out some cheeae and chocolate from her backpack. Not her fault but should be clearer.
