Reviews
The guide, Mark, has first hand experience in returning the loot to the right hands, as he was leading the governamental agency who is responsible for catching all these wrongdoings.
Mark is going to tell you all true stories about corrupt politicians, governments playing the long game to catch them, club nights with several 100k bar tabs, journalists bringing down corruption rings, bank robbers who flee by taking public transportation and women fleeing the country with the bare essential: 3000 pairs of shoes.
We have been living in Zürich for more than 10 years and gifted the tour for my husband. It was equally interesting for us as it was for friends visiting from other countries.
