Overview

Explore Zurich from different angles on this unique tour that combines ALL of the city’s iconic transportation modes. Whether you’re climbing up a hill by a cogwheel train, overlooking the city, riding a historic funicular to the university campus, or cruising on a boat across the lake, this tour combines secret perspectives of Zurich with the typical sightseeing highlights along the way.

More than 17 years of experience as a high school geography teacher allow me to offer you this tailored tour you won’t find in conventional guidebooks. This journey has been designed to showcase Zurich’s unique means of transportation while enjoying breathtaking views from surrounding mountains, exploring the old town, vibrant squares, historical landmarks, and learning local customs - enhanced by insights from my academic background in geography and natural sciences.

Join me, a passionate Swiss local, as we venture into both renown and hidden gems of my hometown for an unforgettable experience.
