    Perfect Intro to Zurich

    "We had a wonderful Zurich walking tour with Eligio. It was a fantastic start to our Switzerland trip. Eligio took us around Zurich and showed us not only the common spots, but many lesser known and hidden spots. He had great facts and stories about the history of Zurich. We even had a chance to take a quick break at beautiful cafe for some cheese, bread, and wine. All 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him. "

    Eligio is an Incredible Tour Guide

    "My wife and I met Eligio in Zurich for a tour of the city. I thought Zurich would not be as an exciting city to tour as some other European cities we have visited. Eligio proved me wrong. He was an incredible tour guide, showing and explaining so many interesting details of the city. He kept us excited and interested the entire time. He took us to places we did not even know existed, including a secret underground area below the old Roman castle grounds, the oldest bakery in Zurich and many more places I had no idea about. Eligio really made our trip to Zurich priceless and it felt like we were with an old friend the entire tour. If you are booking a tour, make sure you get the greatest kindest guide in Zurich. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Eligio!!!!!"

    Awesome Chocolate and Town Tour with Giada

    "Giada gave the four of us an amazing chocolate tour of Zurich. We went to a variety of chocolatiers, each of which illustrated a different aspect of chocolate making. Along the way, Giada provided interesting information about the older part of the city and its buildings. She provided excellent recommendations about what to taste and purchase. She is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and will use her again for other tours when we return. "

    "Thomas is an excellent guide. We used his services the first day of our visit to Zurich. We needed the relaxed pace as we were a bit jet lagged. He provided a full tour with needed information so we could explore the city on our own for the following 3 days. His recommendations helped us plan for meals. See were made comfortable with an understanding of the culture. "

    Rainy Zurich Evening

    "We met Eligió on a stormy evening (thankfully it let up), we ducked into an enoteca while the storm passed. Eli was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the history of Zurich. He gave us a unique insider only tour, with a special key that unlocked fascinating doors in the city. He gave us a special Zurich treat to take home. At the end of the tour he provided us with many tips on the city. We loved our evening with Eli nd would tour with him gain in a heartbeat when we return to the city"

    A Wonderfully Sweet Experience

    "We had the absolute best time tasting chocolate with Giada. Not only did she know the best places to taste chocolate and all their history, she was also a wealth of knowledge when it came to general Zurich history. It was like two tours combined into one! All of the chocolate shops offered general tastings and then Giada added something extra in each location fit to your preferences. I cannot recommend Giada and the chocolate tasing tour enough!"
