Most travelers think they’ve seen Zurich after walking along Bahnhofstrasse and the lakefront. But what if I told you the city’s real charm hides in its narrow streets, historic corners, and stories only a local can share?
Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the layers of history and details that make Zurich unforgettable. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while its true spirit stays hidden.
Our Walking Tour in Zurich changes that. Your guide tailors the experience to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover the authentic Zurich, beyond the surface.

5.00We enjoyed this tour as we wondered the Zürich cobblestone streets, into churches, by the waterways and to other interesting places. Gustavo was a great guide. He told interesting facts and stories about the history of the city which made it a fun experience. We ended the trip by going to a chocolate stop. Yum!!
Great walking tour!

Awesome Experience with Local Tours Expert

5.006 out of 5 Stars! Awesome experience! Highly recommended. I joined a walking tour with Local Tour Expert and I really enjoyed it. It was the best part of my visit here in Zurich. Our tour guide Santiago was awesome and very intelligent. The guide knows so much about the history, buildings, and culture here. I learned things I would never find out by myself. Everything was explained clearly and all my questions were answered well. The stories shared were very interesting too. The walking pace was just right and the route was good. I am very happy I chose this company. I will definitely book with them again. If you want to see and understand Zurich properly, go with Local Tour Expert.
