This tour in 5 sentences

Roughly two to three hours through Zurich the way locals actually experience it, not a running list of landmarks. You'll walk the length of Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world's most exclusive shopping streets, before slipping into the quiet lanes of the old town. From the Lindenhof terrace you get the classic view over the Limmat, and your guide will point out the Roman and medieval layers hiding in plain sight. A ride on the tiny Polybahn funicular takes you up for the view over the city, and the tour ends with a proper Zurich chocolate tasting. The whole thing runs at a relaxed pace, built around your group and shaped by whatever catches your eye along the way.
