A small-group Basel walking tour in about an hour with a local, covering Münster, Town Hall, Les Trois Rois, and city gates.

Zurich in 60 minutes with a local guide, river crossings, church exteriors, old-town lanes, and personalised tips to explore confidently.
“David was well organised including messages and a phone call before the day, he arrived at our meeting place right on time and was well prepared. The tour was great - we found David well informed on Zurich geography, history and culture and he answered all our general questions about life in Switzerland. The tour was really interesting, an easy walk and not too long. Coming from NZ, this was an ideal introduction to Zurich.”
A 60 to 90 minute small-group walk through Lucerne’s top old-town sights, led by a local, from Torbogen to Chapel Bridge.

“This is a wonderful experience, totally worth it especially with Adrienna. She was marvelous and made it educational with facts, fun and very flexible”
A fast 60-minute walk with a Local through Zurich’s key landmarks, Dada origins, and church clocks, ending near Predigerkirche.
“Zurich is a beautiful city and we were able to cover a lot of ground in an hour. We had hoped the tour would cover some local history but mostly walked away with restaurant and bar recommendations. Good if you want to see the sights fast but not a good choice if you want to see the sights in context.”
A 1 hour small group walk in St. Gallen with a local guide, covering the cathedral, Vadian Monument, and key stories.
“Thanks for my tour guide, Ms. Laetitia! She offered great time and it was very enjoyable time to explore city. It was just an hour tour but I spend few hours in St. Gallen. Laetitia gave me good advices and tips how to look around and recommended places to visit. Great to know city and history background!”
1-hour Basel walking tour with an English local, covering Porte St. Alban, Basel Minster, Town Hall, Bar Les Trois Rois and Spalentor.

A 60-minute private walking tour of Bern with a local, hitting Zytglogge, Bern Minster, Nydegg Bridge, and Käfigturm.
“Elicit showed us the gems of Bern in the short 1 hour. Lovely tour. The historical significance of the monuments and statues is worth the walk”
60-minute Lausanne walk with a local, from the cathedral to Montbenon, markets, and Rôtillon. Small group, mobile ticket included.
“Annie, the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and committed. It was a nice, brief tour of the old town of Lausanne and an interesting experience about city's history . There was a meeting point issue due to agency miscommunication. I am likely to use and recommend this agency in the future.”
