Walk Zurich old town in 2 hours with a local guide and the Central Polybahn cable car, plus hidden walls and churches for $43.94.

“My wife and I enjoyed the walking tour of historic Zürich even with the rain. Our guide, Maria, was informative and adjusted the pace to accommodate all parties. She even shared her umbrella. We really enjoyed the basement viewing of the old city walls that if not on the tour would have never heard or seen. We even got a cherished cat story that only a local would know. If it had not been a Sunday, I am sure we might have seen more interior settings as they were closed.”

3.Highlights of Geneva: Dark History Quest Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 16 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $6Cheapest of these

Walk Geneva on a self-guided phone game that links sites like St-Pierre and Sissi, mixing dark themes with interactive clues in about 2.5 hours.

“So we bailed part way through and didn't finish. It was interesting to get to the first few sites and read the history we wouldn't get otherwise, but it wouldn't advance if it didn't detect you were at the next location. GPS was bouncing around and we got hung up. I also didn't like that it didn't tell you the next location (where Google maps might have helped) since it was trying to be mysterious. Just too glitchy in the end.”
