🌏 Welcome to Switzerland ! I am Natacha, an Italo-Swiss-Armenian archaeologist and art historian based in Bern and specialized in medieval towns, multiculturalism and travels ! I started guiding for Swiss, French and Spanish universities, museums and international congresses in 1994. After graduating in medieval art history and archaeology in Geneva, Rome, Poitiers, and Lausanne, I started guiding while looking for my first position in my field and discovered another passion: helping travelers enjoy monuments, landscapes and traditions as three-dimensional expressions of history. So I became a licensed guide in Bern … and an official smile dispenser ! Since five years I merge academic approach and touristic guiding and apply my knowledge of medieval art and city’s urbanism also to modern architecture and natural landscapes. ✨ Whether you are fascinated by history, adventure, or nature and relaxed sightseeing, I design flexible tours tailored to your pace, interests and expectations. From medieval towns, hidden monasteries and watchmaking traditions to peaceful islands and scenic helicopter flights above the Alps, every itinerary is created to offer insightful and memorable experiences. My approach goes beyond sightseeing. Together, we explore not only what we see, but also why it was made, how it worked and what it reveals about Swiss history and culture, past and present. Each tour is designed to bring to light what usually goes unnoticed and help you connect more deeply with the places you visit. 📌 Qualifications: • City Guide Certificate, Bern Tourist Office • PhD in Art History, University of Lausanne • MA in Art History, University of Poitiers • MA in Archaeology, Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology, Rome • MA in Humanities, University of Geneva 👉 Are you ready to uncover the Switzerland that most visitors never get to see? Pack your curiosity, I’ll take care of the rest. See you soon in Switzerland !

Discover Bern through an expert multi-layer journey combining medieval streets, city highlights, archaeological layers, and panoramic viewpoints. This immersive walking tour reveals the UNESCO-listed old town like the Zytglogge, Bern’s cathedral, Bern’s Federal Palace and more, offering a deeper understanding of the geological, geographic and historical forces that shaped the city over time. The shift between street level and elevated perspectives with an helicopter flight over Bern, creates a richer and more powerful perception of the city, both intellectually and emotionally. It opens a final aerial dimension over the old town, the Aare river loop, and the Alpine horizon seen during the tour. A unique way to understand the whole picture of Bern from below, at street level, and from above in one continuous narrative.
