Ghost walk of Zurich
Yesterday I participated in an unusual city tour called “the ghost walk”. The guide, a Brit, was probably a comedy performer in theaters and used to do similar tours in York. He said “York has the highest ghost population per square meter” but Zurich did not fare bad either.
It took almost 70 minutes and I enjoyed it very much. Historical information conveyed with good British sarcasm makes this tour a nice option for the summer evenings. And for a 15CHF it is a bargain by Swiss standards. He appearently is a professional and quick enough to tailor the jokes according with the audience.
You can find this nice gentleman in black attire (and most probably with a cane protecting himself from the evil ghosts) at Paradeplatz near the fountain at 19:30 at any warm evening till autumn. (When I mentioned by blog he said please write about me but did not even mention a discount. So exact change please...)
