Hello! I’m Santiago. I’ve been living in Switzerland for the last two and a half years, and before settling here I travelled around the world exploring different cultures, landscapes and stories. I’m passionate about history, photography and discovering the hidden corners of each city. As a guide, I always try to create tours that are fun, informative and full of local insights. I’d love to share with you the Switzerland I’ve discovered — not just the famous spots, but also the small details that make this place unforgettable.

Tour description

Step into the living story of Zurich on this immersive and dynamic tour!

Wander through the cobbled lanes of the Old Town as we uncover the city’s origins, meet the rulers who shaped its destiny, and bring to life the myths, legends, and hidden tales tucked behind every corner.

Along the way, we’ll visit Zurich’s prestigious universities, stroll along the glittering lakefront, and slip into secret spots that most visitors never find. I’ll share personal stories from my own life in Zurich, along with insider tips on where to eat, how to get around, and the best ways to experience the city like a local.

We’ll even dive into the real cost of living here — mixing practical insights with rich history, captivating folklore, and plenty of lighthearted anecdotes.

This isn’t just sightseeing — it’s a journey through Zurich’s heart and spirit, where every step reveals another chapter of a city that feels like a storybook come to life.
