Embark on an unforgettable guided tour, where history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes come together. Whether you prefer a leisurely walk through the Old Town, a scenic boat ride on Lake Zurich, or a panoramic view from Uetliberg Mountain, this Swiss city offers an experience like no other.
Start your journey by exploring Zurich’s Old Town (Altstadt), a historic district filled with cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and iconic landmarks like the Grossmünster Church. Art lovers will appreciate a stop at Kunsthaus Zurich, Switzerland’s largest art museum, featuring masterpieces from the Middle Ages to modern times.
A guided tour is incomplete without a visit to Lake Zurich, where you can enjoy stunning waterfront views, boutique shopping, and local Swiss cuisine. For the best panoramic sights, head to Uetliberg Mountain, where a short hike or train ride will reward you with spectacular views of Zurich and the Swiss Alps, just 40 km away.
Zurich’s roots go back to the Helvetii, a Celtic tribe that settled along the Limmat River. The Romans later developed the area into Turicum, a strategic trading post. By the 12th century, Zurich gained independence and later joined the Swiss Confederation in the 13th century.
The city played a major role in the Reformation during the 16th century, shaping Switzerland’s identity. Today, a guided tour offers an immersive way to experience this city’s rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture.
Whether you’re visiting for a day trip or a weekend getaway, Zurich has something for every traveler. From historical landmarks and scenic lakeside walks to breathtaking mountain views, a guided tour ensures you experience the best of Zurich with ease. Our private guided tour ensures you see all the most important parts of this beautiful city!
Towering 2,850 feet above the city, Uetliberg is just a 20 minute train ride from the city, and more than worth the ticket price. This mountain affords an absolutely fantastic view of Zurich, its lake, and on a clear day, the Alps.
Switzerland’s largest art museum, with pieces spanning over 800 years of history. Whether you want to see the old masters from the renaissance, impressionism such as Monet, or 20th century modern art, it is all here in this wonderful curated testament to the lasting impact of art.
While much of the modern town of Zurich is, well…modern, that only means that the old town stands in stark contrast, and is all the more beautiful as a result. Find ancient ruins attesting to the city “Turicum” which was the original name for Zurich in the 2nd century. Stroll through the finest renaissance architecture, dating all the way back to the 13th century. Zurich’s old town is filled with surprises waiting to be uncovered.
No visit to Zurich is complete without a stroll down the lakeside, complete with the quantest shops and restaurants. The perfectly blue water framed by the snow capped mountains all around is an absolutely idyllic way to finish off a day in Zurich.
