ZURICH CITY TOUR
Premium guided tours in Zurich – the Reformation, history and authentic insights
Discover Zurich beyond the familiar postcard views. On my guided tours, I lead you through the winding lanes, hidden corners and historic squares of the Old Town, revealing the people, conflicts and ideas that shaped the city over the centuries.
As an independent historian and specialist in Zurich’s Reformation history, I combine carefully researched facts with vivid storytelling, unexpected details and places that many visitors would otherwise pass unnoticed. Each tour is personal, engaging and adapted to the interests of my guests – bringing Zurich’s history to life where it actually happened.

Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city, yet many of its most remarkable stories can be discovered within a surprisingly compact area. Roman remains, medieval guild houses, historic churches and traces of the Reformation can all be found within a short walk through the Old Town.
Along the way, you will discover how religion, politics, trade and everyday life transformed Zurich from a Roman settlement into one of Europe’s most influential cities.
I look forward to showing you my Zurich!

Discover Zurich
An Old Town Tour for International Guests
Discover Zurich through the stories, people and events that shaped the city. This guided tour has been specially designed for international guests who want to understand Zurich beyond its famous landmarks and postcard views.
As we walk through the narrow streets, historic squares and hidden corners of the Old Town, you will discover Zurich’s Roman origins, medieval traditions, influential personalities and the dramatic changes brought about by the Reformation. Historical events are explained clearly and placed in a wider European context, making the tour accessible even if you have little previous knowledge of Swiss history.
At every stop, a new side of Zurich unfolds – full of ambition, conflict, faith, trade and human stories. Rather than presenting a simple collection of dates and facts, the tour connects the city’s past with the Zurich you experience today.
Ideal for individual travellers, couples, families, private groups and international teams, this tour offers an engaging introduction to Zurich and a deeper understanding of the city, its culture and its unique character.
My Zurich Reformation Tour and tailor-made corporate and team events are also available in English.
