You'll go to the site of the first Anabaptist martyrs in Zurich and learn about the milk soup that put an end to a religious war.

You'll learn how the Jewish community fared over the millennia, and how the Swiss ban on building new Minarets affected the Muslim community

Rumor 
has it !

I took the walking tour with Samantha with my family and really enjoyed it. We live in Ontario but I grew up in the Zürich area and know the city well. Wanted to show my adult kids the outer cracks of the old downtown with a slice of history attached. Samantha gave me exactly that in a fun way. Samantha is very professional, high-energy, knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend her.
