🙋♂️ 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.
