This is the 2nd tour we’ve done with VoiceApp (last year did Montmartre) and it did not disappoint. You can go at your own pace, it tells you when you’re off the route, gives good history and shows many highlights. Highly recommend, especially for the price!

This was actually a very good self-guided tour. We spent almost three hours slowly following the tour while heading off the track to see other things as we were in no hurry. That allowed for more flexibility than a guided tour in a group, and having arrived in Zurich the same day, it was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommended!
Never done a self guided tour before and it was so good. Just enough info and easy to follow instructions. When unpaid attention haha
Overall great tour interesting facts and spot on navigation.
This tour was the perfect balance of the right amount of information the right amount of time and a nice walk through a beautiful city. The guide was easy to understand and very interesting to follow.
A great way to see the city of Zurich!!
Tour was easy to follow, very informative and just the right length. We saw things we just wouldn’t have found without this - such as some amazing frescos. You need to allow time afterwards to explore the old town more yourself.
Very interesting information and a nice route! I occasionally had trouble identifying where I was supposed to stand or look, but mostly figured it out! Would highly recommend.
Patrica was such a wonderful guide. So kind and knowledgeable and very she was well prepared. I liked that it was a small group and felt like a friend was showing us around her home town.
What a great way to discover Zürich: at your own pace, without any pressure! You can stop at any of the beautiful spots that Cynthia's audio- tour takes you to, grab a coffee, or a bite, and continue afterwards exactly from where you had left. Cynthia's tour is very interesting, educational and her voice is mesmerising :-) My friend and I both loved this tour verry much. I will be trying Cynthia's audio- tours in other cities too!
This is the best way to see Old Town. Better and more extensive than a guide tour we did. If you enjoy self-paced tours with excellent descriptions at stopping points this tour is for you!
Flawless software. Tour was solid. A great intro to Zurich and I will use this in other cities! Only thing missing was someone to answer my dumb questions… 😆 what’s that? How is is this? Haha
What a great way to see the sights at your own pace! I loved the GPS activated tour. Just walk and listen. No crowds, no fast pace. Wish I found this earlier for other cities!
Superb tour. Ideal if you want to go at your own pace and travelling alone. I had some time to kill before my flights after my business trip. Very informative. The app is superb. You don’t have to have your phone out all the time. It picks up where you are and starts talking. Very impressed
I was in Zurich by myself in the middle of November, where it was freezing and because of COVID, not a lot was happening/open. I found this tour, and it was awesome! I turned it on and was just able to walk and look at things while I listened, and it was like having a personal tour guide because the guide shared cool stories and insights that you wouldn't get just reading about something. Highly recommend!!
The app is very easy to use and the tour was pretty interesting. A very easy way to explore the city
Cynthia’s walking tour winds through old streets, past churches, along waterways and beside fountains in central Zurich. Along the way, she weaves in history from Celtic, Roman and Carolingian eras, adding bright bursts of the modern day. This tour recreates the fabric of a city rich in more than Swiss bank accounts and luxurious chocolate. Her narration allows plenty of time for walking from spot to spot, directly or leisurely as you desire, with precise instructions on where to stand and where to look as she describes an ancient military lookout, a Roman tombstone in a wall, guild houses, and stained glass windows by Chagall. Her tips on pubs, pastries and her favorite chocolate shop offer meaningful breaks in the tour and destinations for future visits. She has a knack for including just enough history, culture, and art to impart a sense of this city. A thoroughly enjoyable way to meet Zurich for the first time or renew a longstanding affection.
