Overview
Join our alternative walking tour through Zürich West.
We will explore this trendy neighbourhood, which was once an important industrial area and has now been transformed into a quarter full of contrasts. Alternative culture & art, nightclubs, cool food venues & urban gardens have moved into the former warehouses and factories.
There is a lot hidden underneath the surface of Zürich West!
A friendly warning! Our tour won't be a typical sightseeing experience : )
We will learn about the history of industrialisation in Switzerland and its connection to the history of immigration.
We will discuss the challenges undocumented migrants and asylum seekers face in Zürich today. And you will have a chance to meet with local community members, who are involved in different initiatives and projects that help people with migrant backgrounds to integrate.

Reviews
Mix of fun, knowledge, facts. That was simply the highlight of my trip to Zurich and I thank you for that...
Looking forward to try the other ones : )
I had a friend over from abroad and wanted to show him Zürich, so I booked "Quest to the West". Diana managed to uncover a new Zürich also for me that I have been living in Zürich for already 8 years. Great balance between sensitive topics and easy going talks. Loved how we ended the tour with a drink and sharing thoughts among the group.
Definitely recommend it for exploring the city in case you are just passing by or if you just moved to the city. But if you already live here you will be surprised by the things you find out.
Despite living in Switzerland for years now and in close proximity to Zurich, I was very pleasantly surprised, that there are yet undiscovered and interesting places with history, with its charm, character and last but not least the direct contact with local communities, which you eventually support by purchasing this tour. I felt I could really do even a small impact supporting locals. Diana has a strong knowledge about the topics and likes to hear your experiences through the tour too. You suddenly feel you are part of this vibrant city and its life.
I highly recommend this tour, whether you are an expat or a visitor in Zurich and like to experience the hidden sites and different way of looking at the city. Great job Diana, you are making a difference!
