Exploring Zurich’s Iconic Streets with a Private Photographer
This Instagram-focused tour in Zurich offers a fresh way to see the city—through the lens of a professional photographer. For around $250 per person, you’ll spend an hour wandering some of Zurich’s most famous sites, all while getting personalized tips on posing and composition. The promise of receiving your edited photos within 48 hours makes this experience both memorable and efficient.
What I really love about this experience is how it combines sightseeing with a tailored photography session.

A private, tailored approach to capturing Zurich
What sets this tour apart is its focus on personalization. Unlike generic photo sessions, this experience is entirely private—your group, your moments. The guide, Foty – Local Photographers, ensures that your photos aren’t just snapshots but polished images you’ll want to share. Since no prior photography skills are required, it’s accessible for everyone.
The emphasis on helping you pose naturally helps you avoid stiff or fake-looking photos. The photographer, who is experienced in capturing the city’s essence, will suggest simple poses that look effortless. This approach makes the photos feel authentic and spontaneous, which is often the hardest thing to achieve on your own.
Itinerary and site highlights
In just an hour, the guide takes you through Zurich’s most famous sites—though exact stops aren’t listed, expect classics like the Bahnhofstrasse, Lake Zurich, the Old Town, and perhaps the iconic Lindenhof Hill. Each location offers unique backgrounds, from bustling streets to tranquil waterfronts.
The beauty of this tour is the combination of at least two things: stunning views and a chance to get creative shots. The guide helps you find the best angles, making even well-trodden spots feel fresh and special. Plus, since the tour is flexible and tailored to your ideas, you can request a focus on particular sites or themes.
The photography process—simple, effective, fun
The main goal is to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. The guide will assist with posing and framing, which is a huge plus for people who find photo shoots intimidating. The experience is designed to be fun rather than formal, with candid moments captured naturally.
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive all your photos—unedited versions, plus 30 of your favorites professionally enhanced. This quick turnaround is a huge perk, especially if you’re on a tight travel schedule.
What’s included and what’s not
For the $250 fee, you get high-quality professional photos, the editing of your chosen images, and access to the full gallery via a Wetransfer link. The edited photos will stand out with clarity and vibrancy, perfect for social media or keepsakes.
However, keep in mind that transportation costs are not included, so if you want to visit several sites, you may need to organize your own transit. Also, printed photos aren’t part of the package, but that’s typical for digital-focused experiences.

While $250 might seem high for an hour, the included editing, quick delivery, and tailored guidance offer good value—especially when compared to traditional photoshoots in tourist spots that can be more expensive. Plus, it’s a time-efficient way to get high-quality images without the hassle of trying to DIY or hunt for a photographer on your own.
