Tours of Zurich

Where the River Limmat meets the lake, Zurich unfolds as a city of pure contrasts – cosmopolitan yet calm, contemporary yet unmistakably Swiss. It’s Switzerland’s financial powerhouse, but also a lakeside retreat, a cultural hub, and a gateway to the Alps.

Our tailor-made tours of Zurich are crafted to help you experience the city 
the way locals do, opening doors that most visitors will never even notice.

For some, the perfect day is an intimate Zurich day tour of the Old Town, where colourful guild houses and hidden courtyards whisper centuries-old stories. For others, it’s a private cruise across Lake Zurich followed by dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Whether you’re spending 3 days in Zurich or embarking on a multiday private tour, our expert guides turn each moment into a story worth remembering.

    Highlights of Zurich

    Bahnhofstrasse

    Elegant, lively, and effortlessly chic, Bahnhofstrasse is Zurich’s most famous boulevard.

    Old Town (Altstadt)

    Zurich’s Old Town is a tapestry of history and culture.

    Lake Zurich

    Few sights feel more inviting than Lake Zurich glistening in the afternoon sun.

    Uetliberg Mountain

    If you’re craving nature without leaving the city, Uetliberg delivers.

    Kunsthaus Zurich

    Art lovers won’t want to miss the Kunsthaus, Zurich’s leading art museum.

    Beyond its reputation for luxury shopping, it offers a glimpse into Swiss craftsmanship at its finest – from world-class jewellers to the heritage watchmakers who shaped the country’s identity. On our Zurich private tours, we’ll show you the hidden ateliers tucked between flagship boutiques, where artisans keep old traditions alive.

    Winding lanes reveal colourful facades, gothic churches, and charming squares, where locals linger over coffee. It’s easy to get lost here, but with our insider knowledge, you’ll uncover stories etched into centuries-old stone. A highlight on many Zurich tours, the Old Town is also the place to sample authentic Swiss cuisine in historic guild halls.

    Few sights feel more inviting than Lake Zurich glistening in the afternoon sun. In summer, the promenade is alive with walkers and cyclists, while sailboats drift across the water. Our guests can enjoy exclusive access – a private boat ride at golden hour, champagne in hand, or a lakeside picnic in a private park prepared by a Swiss chef. 

    The lake also serves as the perfect gateway for day trips from Zurich, leading to the vineyards of Meilen or the peaceful hills around Rapperswil, known as the “town of roses.”

    Guests on multiday Zurich tours often enjoy the lake as part of a longer journey through central Switzerland, linking Zurich’s lakeside charm with alpine towns like Lucerne and Interlaken.

    Rising above Zurich, it offers panoramic views stretching to the distant Alps. It’s especially striking in autumn, when the forests glow in shades of gold and crimson. Many of our day tours from Zurich, Switzerland include a stop here – it’s the kind of view that stays with you long after the trip ends.

    Art lovers won’t want to miss the Kunsthaus, Zurich’s leading art museum. Home to masterpieces by Munch, Picasso, Monet, and Giacometti, it rivals many of Europe’s great collections. With our insider connections, we can arrange private viewings or expert-led tours, turning this into more than just a museum visit – it’s a journey through art history in an intimate setting.

    When is the Best Time to Visit Zurich?

    The best time to visit Zurich is June to September, when the weather is warm, the lake is perfect for swimming, and festivals fill the city with energy. That said, Zurich is a city for all seasons. In spring, blossoms line the lakeside promenades, and the mood is fresh and lively. Summer invites you outdoors – think boat rides and open-air concerts. 

    Autumn brings vineyards heavy with grapes and landscapes awash in colour, making it ideal for day trips from Zurich, Switzerland, to the wine country. Winter, meanwhile, is pure magic – the Christmas markets fill the city with light, and it’s easy to combine a visit with nearby ski resorts on Swiss tours from Zurich.

    Our Reviews

    Our goal was to see as much as possible in 6 days while maintaining an unhurried approach. From the first contact, our experience was detailed perfection. Marc and his team managed everything from airport pickup to hotel and restaurant recommendations.

    We hoped to relax and not worry about anything — this expectation was exceeded. The team clearly listened to our preferences.

    Our main stops included Zurich, Appenzell, Liechtenstein, Lake Lucerne, Interlaken, Thun, Zermatt, and the vineyards around Montreux.

    The best element of our time was our top-tier guide, Manuel. His personality, knowledge, energy, and pride in his country were exceptional.

    Thanks to Luxury Tours Switzerland, our group of ten had an unforgettable experience. Everything was seamless.

    They created an itinerary that felt ambitious yet perfectly paced, giving us an extraordinary glimpse into Switzerland without feeling rushed.

    The booking process was clear, well-organized, and attentive.

    We can’t thank Luxury Tours Switzerland enough for crafting a journey that blended culture, nature, and relaxation. Switzerland exceeded every expectation.

    Donna M Donna M - October 2025

    I regularly book tours with Luxury Tours Switzerland for our hotel guests, and I can’t recommend them enough. Guests always come back happy. Josh and Marc are super knowledgeable and easygoing.

    I recently went on a tour with coworkers, and we were blown away. They took us to incredible hidden spots far from tourist crowds. Riding mountain scooters down a secret alpine road was a highlight.

    Their tours always feel fresh and tailored, like exploring Switzerland with friends.

    Concierge Uros Concierge Uros - October 2025

    My family visited Switzerland for ten days and had an unforgettable trip. I dealt primarily with Jana but also received assistance from Joshua and Fabienne. We had an idea of certain places we wanted to see but also received invaluable guidance on beautiful places and hidden gems.

    Starting with a tour of Old Town Zurich, we went on to enjoy Appenzell, Lucerne, Mt Titlis, Jungfraujoch, Gimmelwald, the Schilthorn, Interlaken, the Goldenpass Express, Thun and Bern.

    Our guides Bruno and Elia were personable, knowledgeable, and professional. They ensured we saw as much as possible at our preferred pace.

    They also provided excellent lodging and dining recommendations, and the drivers were professional and safe. We never had to think about logistics. I can’t recommend Luxury Tours Switzerland enough.

    Thomas R Thomas R - September 2025

    We had the good fortune of selecting Luxury Tours Switzerland for our two-week visit to Switzerland. Our first communications with Joshua, Jana and Fabienne set the stage for an impeccably curated trip. We collaborated with the team to develop a customized trip.

    The itinerary was prepared with amazing detail and provided on a great app.

    The most impactful element of our holiday was our tour guide Manuel. He took us to places we would have never seen on our own and prepared delicious snacks daily. Manuel’s love and enthusiasm for his country made him an incredible ambassador and a pleasure to travel with.
