🙋♂️ Hello! I'm Federico, a graduate in Business Economics and passionate about tourism.
I've spent most of my life traveling and working around the world, and it was that very experience—as a cabin crew member for Emirates—that taught me the essentials of making the most of every destination.
Zurich has been my home for over three years, and I'm delighted to be able to share it with you.
This tour isn't your typical historical tour: it's a dynamic, panoramic, and interactive tour , where we walk about 4 kilometers in an hour and a half, with 20 short and powerful stops . We'll talk about history, of course—Einstein, Zwingli, Caterina von Zimmern, Charlemagne, Lenin, Giacometti, Chagall, and more—but also about contemporary culture, quality of life, local secrets, and the best views of the city.
🚠 We start by taking the Polybahn up to the ETH, Switzerland's largest technical university, for a unique panoramic view. From there, we descend toward the Old Town, passing by the most iconic landmarks: Cabaret Voltaire, Grossmünster, Fraumünster, St. Peter's, Bahnhofstrasse, Rennweg, Augustinergasse , and many more secret corners that often go unnoticed.
🎒 The goal is for you to make the most of your time in Zurich from the very first minute: by the end of this tour, you'll know how to get around, what to see, and why this city is so much more than just expensive or perfect. It's vibrant, complex, and surprising!
We'll all be together on the tour! If you have any questions, are curious, or just want to learn more during the tour, please contact me.

My tour includes the coolest places and most important buildings in Zurich's Old Town that you shouldn't miss! It's more an informative walk, than an architectural tour. The only thing you need, is a 24 hours ticket for the "Zone 110", or 1.20 CHF for the „Polybahn“, a pair of good shoes.. I do speak as well German, French and Italian.
From the main station with 400,000 commuters and travelers and four train stations, via the National Museum, to the ETH terrace with a fantastic view over Zurich! The tour continues through the old town streets, from Predigerplatz to the Grossmunster and the Wasserkirche. Of course, there's also a bit of Bellevue, where you can sit by the lake and enjoy an ice cream or a sandwich. Pass the Bauschanzli to the Fraumunster church, where you'll find a fantastic view high up at Lindenhof! Then a bit of Paradeplatz, and back to the main station..

Most visitors only see Zurich’s postcard side: the lake, the Old Town, the clean streets. But there’s another Zurich — raw, vibrant, multicultural — and that’s where I’ll take you.
I’m training to become a professional tour guide, which means you’ll experience Langstrasse with someone bringing fresh energy and curiosity to every corner. This walk is not only about uncovering the secrets of Zurich’s most dynamic district — it’s also about sharing stories with passion, honesty, and heart.
We’ll wander along Langstrasse and its hidden corners, where contrasts and stories collide:
- Helvetiaplatz & Volkshaus – the beating heart of Kreis 4, protests, markets, and community.
- Kanzlei & Kino Xenix – flea markets, independent cinema, and a touch of counter-culture.
- The Langstrasse strip – from red lights to neon nightlife, and how it’s changing today.
- Street art & urban galleries – colorful walls that tell their own stories.
- The hidden side streets
📍 We’ll finish at Limmatplatz
If you want a tour that’s different from the usual “main sights,” this is it. Langstrasse is where Zurich shows its real face — sometimes rough, always fascinating.
And because I’m a tour guide in training, you’re not just booking a tour — you're part of my journey. You’ll get the enthusiasm of someone who’s honing their craft while experiencing stories you won’t find in guidebooks.
👉 So come join me, support a guide in training, and discover Zurich’s wild side together!
