Maria was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! She took us to places we never would have known about. This made our short time in Zurich even better. The Historic District is a very special area. Highly recommend this tour.

Great guide, very professional, courteous and friendly. Went to all the Christmas markets including some extra stops. Absolutely loved it. A definite tour to see the Christmas markets with a guide! Great job thank you.

Walking around the old town was interesting. The ride in the funicular was good and some of our stops provided tit bits of information about the city.

Walking tour was wonderful. Maria kept it very informative and with many interesting stories of the past. She lived in Zurich for long time and you could tell she had much pride of Zurich. We took our time thru the city on both sides of the river. Very good and I recommend it highly.

Our tour guide Maria was excellent! Her knowledge and true passion for the city made me want to stay for the entry tour even though we finished in a rain storm.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. His understanding of history and the affect on contemporary life in Switzerland made for an interesting afternoon.

Maria gave us very interesting historical and cultural information about Zurich. Loved seeing several of the fresh water fountains and we have continued to look for different ones as we walk around. Maria’s tour was very enjoyable.
