External guides must use «wisper technology» (audio set) to avoid disturbing other visitors. Upon request, we provide an audio set to all participants.
At Fraumünster, only accredited guides can give groups a tour through the church. To gain accreditation, a guide must visit a half-day course organised by the Reformierte Kirche Zürich (church district one).

After we confirmed a request for a tour, the booked time is binding and the full costs apply, even if the participants arrive late or fail to appear. If a group is delayed, the guide must be informed by telephone. The private tour will not be prolonged by the delay.
If a group cancels a tour up to 10 days prior, 50 percent of the costs will be charged. Later cancellations will be fully charged. The same applies when a group fails to appear.
In case the church is occupied at short notice (e.g. for a funeral), a tour can be cancelled or rescheduled. If the tour cannot be rescheduled, no charges apply.
