The best of both worlds

bashkita, 27-03-2022

We went to the "All time round about tour" and we absolutely loved it! You think that Zurich is just about money and great watches? Diana will show you that there is more to that. Apart from seeing the historical part of Zurich and hearing a lot of exciting stories about
past and present, the tour takes you to places that open up your eyes and show you the other reality that is in the city. If you want to discover Zurich in both its glory and hidden secrets, this tour is right for you.
Plus if you are lucky, Diana will bring a bit of chocolate or Glühwein as she did for us

Insightful Tour of All Sides of Zurich Old and New!

Looking for an insightful walking tour that covers both sides of Zurich? This is the tour for your. Diana was amazing and very insightful about the Zurich we know and the Zurich we may not know. I enjoyed every moment, the old town and visiting the supported local business that helps those in need.

I told Diana that I've been on both sides of the coin in my personal life and appreciate seeing both sides of Zurich. It was revealing but not overwhelming. I would highly recommend. Diana is passionate and informative.

Highly recommended

This tour has been a great experience! Despite the fact that I am a resident of the city, the tour managed to reveal new aspects of Zurich to me, aspects that I was not aware of, leaving me pleasantly surprised! Diana did a great job at making this interesting, fun and well-worth the time and price. The social impact part of the tour provides a different perspective that I particularly appreciated. Well done!

Insightful tour of Zurich landmarks

An exciting tour at the Old Town of Zurich with historical and cultural insights. A definite plus is the promotion and support of local business. The tour had a natural flow in it without getting overwhelming to the visitor. Highly recommended!
