Join us for a fun stroll uncovering Zurich’s coolest spots, secret stories, and most beautiful views you won’t forget! Meet your guides: The "Original" Local Team 🇨🇭 Hi! We are the team that started it all in 2013. But we aren't just a company—we are a collective of Zurich’s most passionate friends. Because we are a team, we can offer what others can't: Variety. When you book with us, you’re getting a unique personality every time, backed by 10+ years of polished quality. Meet Maria, who breathes life into local legends, from headless saints to the courageous women who saved the city from siege. 🏰 Meet Patrick, who can point out the Roman ruins hidden in plain sight and explain how a small toll station became a global financial powerhouse. 🏛️ Meet Jonathan, who delivers the city’s wildest stories with the charisma of a TED Talk speaker. Expect zero boredom and 100% engagement. 🎤 Meet Julien, who like Einstein studied science in Zurich, and will hit you with a good punchline 🎓 🚀 Why choose the Original? Don't settle for a boring history lecture. We believe a tour should feel like a walk with a smart, funny friend. 🎁 Exclusive Bonus: The "Swiss Insider" Kit 🎁 Zurich is beautiful, but it can be expensive and confusing. When you join our tour, every guest (or group) receives our Swiss Insider Card, which includes: 🗺️ Custom Zurich Map: Hand-marked with the "Secret Spots" we visit so you can find your way back later. 💰 Local Discounts: Special deals at our favorite authentic chocolate shops, fondue spots, and boutiques. 🚀 The "Cheat Sheet": Our guides’ curated list of the best "Free & Cheap" things to do in the city. Note: This is a physical card you can keep as a souvenir of your trip! Less "Blah Blah," More "Wow": We skip the dry dates and focus on the scandals, the secrets, and the vibrant culture of today. The Best Photos: We know the exact spots for that perfect panoramic shot (better than the postcards!). Local Hacks: We’ll show you how to survive the "most expensive city in the world" without going broke. 🗺️ What we will explore together: In 2 enjoyable hours, we unlock the city: The Money Shot: Paradeplatz & Bahnhofstrasse – How a pig market became the world's banking vault. 💰 The Views: Lindenhof – The ancient Roman castle with the absolute best view over the Old Town. 📸 The Legends: The graves of the city saints (and the story of how they walked with their heads cut off!). The Culture: Dadaism, Einstein, and Lenin – Why all these came to Zurich. The Hidden Gems: Secret medieval alleys you would walk right past without us. 👀 The "After-Tour" Bonus: At the end of the tour, your guide will share their personal favourites: • The most impressive viewpoints in the city, • Hidden gardens or swimming spot for summer, cozy cafes for winter, • The best place for affordable Fondue. 🧀 • The coolest rooftop bar locals love. 🍹
