A must if you’re visiting Zurich for the first time! In just under two hours, we walked the entire Old Town and learned much about Zurich and Switzerland’s history. Not only that, but our guide expanded into European history as well to contextualize the content. He was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly! He pointed out many local shops and restaurants for us to try which were all superb. The whole group enjoyed his anecdotes and we were very satisfied. We even got some chocolate at the end! Don’t skip out on this experience :)

Free walking tours in European cities are excellent. The tour in Zurich was no different. It was exceptional. Peter our guide made the tour on a very wet Christmas Day memorable. I highly recommend it.

We had a great time during our tour. Our guide, Esther, was awesome! She was very knowledgeable of the history of the city and explained everything with lots of details. It was a pleasure to learn so much about Zurich in the two hours the tour takes, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a little bit more about the city. Of course, being a free tour means you don’t need to pay a fee, but it’s really recommended to leave a good tip to the guide. They will always appreciate it, especially when they make these two hours run by so fast with the amount of interesting information you get during that time.

Emre, I hope I got that right, was awesome. He's very knowledgeable on Zurich and Switzerland as a whole. He was very detailed in his descriptions of the city over time and its many sites. If you visit Zurich for the first time, this is a must do.

Our tour guide Emre was superb. Really enjoyed seeing Zurich through his eyes. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Great experience, in a city where everything is expensive it was nice to have such a great tour for free. Our guide Jonas was very knowledgeable, and was able to tell us many stories about the history of Zurich as well as recommend places to eat and other things to see in the city that were not part of the tour. Our tour started at 11:00 and we were interrupted by construction a couple times and ended at about 13:00 and still made a very interesting and informative tour. We took the tour in English (our guide spoke English very well) but today, tours were also offered in Spanish and German.

An absolute must! So much valuable information. Our tour guide, Johnathan, was a wealth of knowledge. Key info shared, historic highlights pointed out around the city, and recommendations were all highlights of our time in Zurich.

Extremely good! Probably the best tour I've ever been to. Julien is a great guide. A must do in Zurich.

Jonathan did an incredible job with the tour, was incredibly knowledgable and fun to listen to. We hit the main sightseeing attractions of Zurich, and learned a lot! The tour also came with a little treat, which was nice, and Jonathan was super helpful and open to giving tips for places to eat or places to go. The tour was at least 1.5 hours starting at 11, so you should have an idea where you want lunch before or during the tour! There was one break in the middle in a picturesque place, great time to take pictures (but we had to take care of some, uh, dog business)- we retraced our steps to take more photos. Dogs totally welcome :)

Guide Maria was so knowledgeable and answered all the other other questions we had during the tour. Helped us with many other questions being tourists like things to do, places to see, and general cultural questions. Great tour and highly recommended

That was really great tour I've attended about the West of Zurich with guide Peter. Very informative but always with some memorable and vivid illustrations and jokes. Enjoyed it a lot! Thank you Peter and Free Walking Tours👍🙌

The tour "New in Zurich" should be on the to-do list of each expat freshly arrived in town. It's a great opportunity to learn about Zurich & Switzerland, make questions and discover life hacks that would make life in your first weeks in your new country much easier. Marisa was of great great help!

We had a lot of fun on the tour with Maria yesterday. She is a great guide and has a very bright personality. She has answered all the questions, even very difficult ones. It was my second time in Zurich (my sister lives here) and I will definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Great tour! The guide Patrick is really friendly and very knowledgeable about the city. It was great learning about the city from a local.

Jonathan, our tour guide and founder of the company, has a wealth of knowledge and is very entertaining. He kept our two teenagers engaged. He knows quite a bit about historical and modern Switzerland and is well traveled himself. Zurich is an expensive city. So while not compulsory a tip is highly appreciated but still well worth our time and money.

This tour gave some amazing insights into the history of Zurich and allowed us to see a number of things we otherwise never would have known existed. Robert was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who was passionate about providing a great experience.

Great tour and very informative! Starting point is easy to find/get to. Our tour guide was great! We had such a large group and he was able to keep everyone together. He even gave everyone a post card and chocolate! Will definitely go on one of their tours again when I'm back in Switzerland.

We had a great tour with Emre. He was a very knowledgeable guide and always ready to help. Besides describing the city and the country in great detail, he also recommended nice places for lunch and coffee. A must do when visiting Zurich!

Really interesting tour thanks

Thanks for great tour! Julian, the guide, showed us many wonderful places and told many interesting and funny stories about Zurich Downtown ❤️ Thank you!

An amazing tour! Julien gave a wonderful tour of the city in a fun and playful way. Thanks for the great time!

I joined the Zurich West Tour with a friend and it was an amazing experience. A must do if you already did the Historical City Tour and you would like to get to know a vibrating hipster area of the city you wouldn't normally expect to see. Both interesting for tourists and new comers living in Zürich.

I’m new to Zurich and this a brilliant tour to get an overview of Zurich. I did both tours, the free walking tour and the new to Zurich tour. Both tours were excellent, full of funny and interesting stories and very helpful and useful advice. My tour guide for both tours was Julian, thank you Julian for the tours!

We had a wonderful tour with Peter. It was really great to discover Zurich and its history with such a passionate guide. We learned a lot and would recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you!

Had a wonderful tour with Maria on a cold rainy Sunday. She is one of the founders of Free Walking Tours Zurich since 7 years ago, and is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about Zurich. I had joined free walking tours in London and Barcelona before, but Maria's tour was by far the best. Something was obviously different in how she gave info and summed up info at the end of the tour so I was able to remember most of what she said and the route she took us, to be able to revisit these places in detail later. Bravo, Maria!

Their tours are a "must do" for both tourists and locals who wish to get to know more about Zürich. 👏👏👏👏👏

We took a tour with Emre, and he was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny, ready to answer any question, and a great speaker. Would absolutely recommend others take a tour with him.

Jonathan had a great personality and made this walking tour of Zürich a lot of fun! He didn’t spend too much time on any one topic but talked about the important things including history, culture, food, and of course chocolate! He actually gave us chocolate and we had a little taste test to see if we could tell the difference between generic chocolate and genuine Swiss chocolate. This was a great way to learn about Switzerland and Zürich and get the lay of the land. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting the city.

Great way to take on a stopover ! Learned alot and Emer was very informative. There is alot of uphill walking on stone streets as well as numerous stairs. It was not wheelchair friendly.

Enjoyed a wonderful hour and a half walking tour with Josef, a Swiss native, who shared across the spectrum of Zurich's history, culture, and architecture. He patiently engaged a large crowd of international tourists, delighted us with his sense of humor, and pushed on to a great finish despite the onset of rain. Heartily recommend.

Excellent guided tour with Peter! Amazing guide, with lots of stories to share about the city and Switzerland‘s history. Will definetly recommend to anyone looking for a Spanish tour in Zurich

Lovely tour and Zurich is great to walk through, with an interesting history. I think our guide's name was Maria, she was brilliant. In such an expensive city it's great to have a free walking tour, but remember to bring cash to tip the guide at the end so this can continue.

Fantastic tour with Patrick! Lots of energy and full of interesting facts and stories about Zurich. We were only around for a day and this was a great opportunity to see some of the key historic sites. Highly recommended.

We joined free walking tour of Zurich led by Patrick and it was one of the best tours I have been to! 1 1/2 hours tour that was very interesting and informative. Highly recommended!

Great walking tour with Annelise!! Couldn't hear her at times because she didn't have a microphone, probably also because Zurich is a very quiet city. Would recommend for anyone who wants to have a lovely introduction to the city.

Patrick was amazing. I absolutely recommend this tour for those visiting Zurich. He has a ton of knowledge about Zurich and don't forget to bring Swiss Francs cash. I only had Australian dollars with me at that time but he was kind enough to accept them. Thank you again.

I enjoyed the tour and the knowledge and historical background shared by Joseph. It was both entertaining and educational.

We really enjoyed our walking tour of Zurich. Maria gave us lots of fun and new information about the city history, food, people, legends and lore! She was easy to understand and follow around the city. She easily answered every question our group asked. I highly recommend this free walking tour.

We took the English speaking Downtown Zurich Tour. Our local guide was really nice and he showed us the some of the best places of Zurich. I strongly recommend this tour. In 1.5 hour you will see the most important attraction points of Zurich. At the end of the tour you can ask for local tips for restaurants and other stuff.

(Translated by Google) Very good tour. I would have liked the tour to have been a little longer. I can only recommend him. I had the tour in Spanish with Daniel (Original) Sehr guter Tour. Hätte ich gern gehabt, dass der Tour ein bisschen länger gewesen wäre. Ich kann ihn nur weiterempfehlen. Ich hatte den Tour auf Spanisch mit dem Daniel

Very plaisant tour and the guide speak manu languages!

Always informative

(Translated by Google) Very good Peter as a tour guide! (Original) Muy jueno Peter como guia turístico !!

(Translated by Google) Zurich West was really informative and relaxed. A lot has been said about the conversion of formerly industrial buildings. Definitely recommendable! (Original) Zürich West war wirklich sehr informativ und locker gehalten. Es wurde viel über die Umnutzung ehemals industriell genutzter Gebäude erläutert. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Perfect way to discover the city while tasting the best chocolates and listening to Eszter's historical facts and anecdotes.

Great tour today with Emre. He's a very dynamic guide who knows everything about the old town and its history! He's passionate about his city and Switzerland and he knows how to share it with visitors. Would do it again! 10/10

(Translated by Google) I loved it, the guide shared very good explanations. (Original) Me encanto, la guía nos compartió muy buenas explicaciones.

Really informative and well-spoken guide (Jonas). Learned a lot and had a leisurely stroll through the Old Town section of Zurich. Highly recommend!

Very interesting for the first introduction to the city. Imri was the guide and was incredible!

Great

Great tour if you're in the city for the first time or even a local!

(Translated by Google) 1.5h tour with EMRE. The tour had a very pleasant atmosphere, very informative. Questions were answered at any time, Emre was really highly motivated and tried hard. Highly Recommended! (Original) 1,5h Tour mit EMRE. Die Tour hatte eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, sehr informativ. Fragen wurden jederzeit beantwortet, Emre war wirklich top motiviert und bemüht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

We took the basic Zurich tour, the graffiti tour and Zurich-west tour. All three of them where great and got us to hidden places Highly recommended!

Great tour! Very informational. Sign up early because spit9s fill up fast.

Amazing tour with Maria in December 2019. She is a very cute girl with great passion to Zurich and knows the history very well! She could answer all the questions and we learned a lot! Very worth doing it! Our tour was in English but she knows many languages (we spoke a bit in Italian) and can help you. Thank you very much Maria and happy new year from Napoli!

Maria was our guide, and she made the 1.5 hours pass by so quickly with interesting nuggets about Zurich’s rich historical legacy. A fun and chill walking tour :) Thank you from Singapore 🇸🇬

Jonathon was a fantastic guide and I had a great day learning all about Zurich today. Very informative with fun, interesting, facts as you go!

Great tour with a great guide! In 90 minutes you get to know so much about Zurich. Maria is a great person with a lot of knowledge and fluent English. She also speaks German, Spanish and Italian. Thank you!

Maria is the best! She gave a great tour of Zurich for a group of 30 people from all around the world. I live in Zurich for 10 year but I learned so much! She is a great personality and a super friendly person who knows so much about Zurich. Do not miss a tour with her!

Thanks to Jonathan we had a wonderful time 👍

Best tour I've ever taken!!

(Translated by Google) Why Google is a heavyweight and if I don't think, ask me again (Original) Por qué Google es un pesado y si no opino me vuelve a preguntar

They gave so many useful information

Did tour with Darias he was very informative, friendly and great ambassador for Zurich.

(Translated by Google) A very nice and simple way to get to know Zurich, learning not only history but also curious or funny anecdotes of the city. At the end of the ride the tip is more than deserved for the guides so ... Don't be afraid! (Original) Una forma muy agradable y sencilla de conocer Zurich, aprendiendo no sólo historia sino también anécdotas curiosas o divertidas de la ciudad. Al final del paseo la propina es más que merecida para los guías así que... ¡¡No seáis rácanos!!

Depending on who your guide will be, will make the difference if you have a great time or a mediocre time. The central Zurich tour was super crowded but good because the guide was great and actually interacted with people. He even gave everyone chocolate! The West Zurich tour was a let down. The guide seemed like an introvert and didn't seem that comfortable guiding us. She would awkwardly stop talking and then go in another direction. We all just assumed we had to follow her. 4/5 stars for the guy, 2 stars for the girl.

Nice. 3 hour + tour of Zurich. Friendly guide, prompt and knowledgeable.

Paul was knowledgable and absolutely awesome! I feel like I learned more from taking this tour then anywhere else

(Translated by Google) Very positive surprise! Super well guided tour, informative with lots of interesting stories. I even thought it was amusing, with lots of "insider" tips for Zurich. Approximately 2 hours. No fixed price, they only accept tuition money or support for the club. I will definitely try such tours in the other cities too! (Original) Sehr positive Überraschung! Super gut geführte Tour, informativ mit vielen interessanten Geschichten. Ich fand es sogar amüsant gestaltet, mit vielen "insider" Tipps für Zürich. Ca. 2 Stunden. Keinen fixen Preis, sie nehmen nur Teinkgeld bzw. Unterstützung für den Verein an. Ich probiere solche Touren in den anderen Städten bestimmt auch aus!

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, entertaining city tour (Original) Sehr interessante, kurzweilige Stadtführung

(Translated by Google) It was great! (Original) 素晴らしかったです！

Super friendly guides, always a good experience!

Nice and informative

I did 4 of these tours, Downtown Zürich - very good and helpful with getting your bearings and shows you the main sites around the old town. Would recommend! Chocolate - Very tasty! Get to try about 6 things. Firstly mini macaroons (2 various flavours), then some chocolate that is made differently to other chocolate - white, milk and dark. I wasn’t a massive fan of this especially when the ‘milk’ choc is actually 60% Cuba cocoa but still interesting to taste as it’s very different to your standard chocolate. Zurich West - Fun, unique and quirky! If you’re into creativity/history and more unusual things then I’d definitely recommend this. I only did this tour as I didn’t know what else to do as I’d exhausted Zürich in 2 days! However I’m very glad I attended this tour. Zurich Pub Crawl - I wouldn’t recommend this although the company of the other people attending was good however I felt the guides didn’t really engage much or tells us anything interesting about the bars or the history etc. - I am however comparing this to a ruins bar crawl I did in Budapest so definitely different. Although I felt the guides were helpful in translating for us they kind of said this is the bar, get your own drinks and then 30-45mins later right we’re going. The main disappointment of this bar crawl is that we went to ‘Big Ben’ which was a British bar. Which I have nothing against but I’m in Zurich not Britain! On a positive note the guides for the first 3 tours were very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. The guides for the bar crawl were also helpful and friendly but just felt like they didn’t engage much and kept themselves to themselves.

Ok tour. She was hard to hear and understand sometimes.

The best tour with Maria! She was easy to find on Paradeplatz (she had a flag). She gave the maps to everybody. We were around 30 people for the English tour and she was easy to follow and her English is so good to understand! At the end she gave us very good advice where to eat fondeu and other specialities. Best tour so far! Thank you Maria 👍

Thanks to Jonathan for the great experience :)

We had a great time at the Free walking tour. The best part of this tour was our awesome guide. Patrick! What an awesome dude, he was very happy and entertaining. He knew so much about Zurich one could only look at him in admiration. I think I love him. Anyways it was awesome to go around the city and see new places I’ve never been! It really was a great experience for an obvious great price. Thank you Patrick for taking time to educate us on this beautiful city!

Patrick was an excellent guide and braved the cold with his dog Pedro on our walk through Zurich. His interventions were charming, intelligent and with much humour. We enjoyed it and learnt a lot.
