Welcome dear visitor

My name is Eligio and I have Italian roots. I'm your local personal tour guide based in Zurich. I am doing what I love because of my various passions for history, archaeology, mythology, traveling and speaking several languages.

I offer lively and exciting tours through Zurich's historic Old Town, followed by thriling stories that will give you a fascinating insight into the city's colorful history. You will learn about historical urban legends and strange curiosities, even underground. I look forward to welcoming you personally.

Ciao, Ciao!

We were simply delighted with Eligio. The tour was very interesting, informative, yet never boring or overwhelming. Not only did we get a good general impression of the city but also had a chance to discover hidden gems. Eligio had contacted me in advance to learn more about our interests and he certainly took it into consideration; he even found a Christmas shop for me where I could buy a lovely ornament for my collection. Lots of thanks for sharing your Zurich with us! Brilliant! Never boring

We met Eligió on a stormy evening (thankfully it let up), we ducked into an enoteca while the storm passed. Eli was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the history of Zurich. He gave us a unique insider only tour, with a special key that unlocked fascinating doors in the city. He gave us a special Zurich treat to take home. At the end of the tour he provided us with many tips on the city. We loved our evening with Eli nd would tour with him gain in a heartbeat when we return to the cityRainy Zurich Evening

Eligio is not a typical tour guide; he is a talented storyteller. From the information to his voice to his facial expressions it is all about the story of Zurich. He shows you the beauty of Zurich through its history and through its people. I cannot recommend enoughMarom as a traveller

Eligio is super guide! He told me very interesting stories about different parts of Zurich, showed me around the old town, which I loved! I’m an expat in Zurich but Eligio managed to show me everything what I still haven’t known by now. Excellent communication, lively chats, good sense of humor. Although I booked two hours, it took us a little longer and he did not charge me for the extra time. Thank you Eligio!!Indre as a traveller

Eligio was a great tour guide who made me feel at home. He patiently waited for me when my flight was delayed, and he tried to help me know everything about Zurich in the little time we had together. He is a friendly, funny, and easy going person. He also took me to the point where I was supposed to meet my friend and kindly insisted to wait with me for her so I don't wait alone. He also didn't forget to teach me how to use public transportation in Zurich before we split. I really enjoyed my time with him, and I hope we can meet again one day..Noha as a traveller

Foi muito bom! O Eligio é muito simpático educado e nos apresentou o centro histórico de Zurich com muitas histórias interessantes. O passeio foi leve e o tempo passou tão rápido que nem sentimos as subidas e descidas do caminho.Maria como um viajante

Eli was just pure awesome and went above and beyond what we agreed upon. He not only gave me a valuable tour and local insight but also helped me sort out the mess I had with the hotel. Aside from being so knowledgeable of his city, he gave me insights on things that normal tour guides would. He is just the best and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.Andrie as a traveller

O Eligio demonstrou muita competência neste trabalho que realiza. Foi pontual e sempre respondeu com agilidade as mensagens enviadas por WhatsApp. Durante o percurso em Zürich, mostrou conhecimento da cidade e lugares visitados, inclusive comentando sobre algumas lendas urbanas. Embora não seja fluente, consegue comunicar-se bem em português. É um guia que recomendamos fortemente.Luis como um viajante

O Eligio, é a pessoa mais incrível que já conheci, ele é atencioso, engraçado e a todo o momento me explicou tudo conforme andávamos pela cidade! Foi um achado que deixou meu coração quentinho! Obrigado Eligio e obrigado ao suporte da IFriend em especial ao Jhonatan. Vocês são incríveis! S2Danusia como um viajante
