14.Self-Guided Audio City Tour in Zurich

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 15 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $13

Review of Zurich’s $13.29 self-guided audio walk, covering Old Town churches, Roman baths, Dada, Zwingli, and river views.

“I learned so much about the fascinating history of Zürich. The views of the river are spectacular! The audio guide is full of details about Roman baths, labor guilds, and other aspects of Zürich history. I went at a leisurely pace by myself, and got to about 65 of the 111 landmarks in the audio. You can access it for up to a year, so I will try to finish the tour today since it’s my last day in Zürich. My only criticism, and it’s a small one, it that the music sounded like it was for a Hallmark movie.”

College leaders also enjoyed, but took a more leisurely pace and finished in 3 hours (we had to try the Calvinus beer after learning about it!). Have decided to use program again at our next stop in Lucerne.”
