Activity details
During this 3-hour experience, your Private Licensed Guide starts at Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world's most famous shopping streets, before leading you into the quieter, older layers of the city. Walk along Augustinergasse, where ornate bay windows have decorated the façades since the Middle Ages. Pass the Augustinerkirche, one of Zurich's oldest churches, and St Peter's, home to the largest church clock face in Europe. The Gothic spire of Fraumünster comes next, its copper top a landmark on the Zurich skyline since the 9th century. Linger in Münsterhof, the medieval town square that was once home to the city's guild of knights, before crossing the Limmat River to Grossmünster — the twin-towered cathedral that Ulrich Zwingli used as the launchpad for the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. The walking tour ends along the Limmatquai promenade, past the legendary Café Bar Odeon, and down to the shore of Lake Zurich.
From there, your guide hands over your cruise tickets and sees you off. The 1-hour cruise sails out across Lake Zurich, passing Wollishofen, Zollikon, Tiefenbrunnen, and Zürichhorn, with views of forested hills, elegant lakeside villas, and the Alps on clear days. It is a calm, beautiful contrast to the energy of the Old Town — and one of the best ways to understand why Zurich sits where it does.
Book your spot today and see Zurich from both land and water.
