🌏 Welcome to Switzerland ! Based near Bern, I am a local medievalist art historian and archaeologist with broad cultural interests and over 30 years of guiding experience. I started guiding for Swiss, French and Spanish universities, museums and international congresses in 1994, then entered the tourism field in 2018 and became a licensed guide in Bern … and an official smile dispenser! ✨I am passionate about heritage: my tours are built on over 20 years of scientific research and publications in international peer-reviewed journals and exhibition catalogues. I love my job, because it gives me the opportunity to bring history to life for others. Guiding visitors through monuments, landscapes and traditions allows them to experience heritage as a living expression of the people who created it — as a three-dimensional illustration of history. I hope you leave not only with beautiful images, but also with a deeper connection to the places you have discovered. And in my opinion, this is possible only if knowledge is shared in an accessible, lively and fascinating way. A memorable journey is not only about what you see, but also about how you experience it. Every traveler is different. Whether you are interested in history and architecture, Swiss craftsmanship, mountain landscapes, roaring waterfalls or Alpine adventures, I create flexible itineraries designed around your expectations and pace, balancing sightseeing, stories, relax, and the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment. My goal is that you make meaningful discoveries and create unforgettable memories. 👉 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 ! 📌 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 I am not a driver, but if you need one I can arrange a chauffeur for you.

Discover Gruyère beyond postcards on this private curated day tour through one of Switzerland's most iconic regions, famous for its medieval town, its Alpine landscape and its world-renowned cheese. Enter a cheese maturation cellar for a private insight into centuries-old traditions away from mass tourism. Step into the most enchanting medieval town of Western Switzerland and stroll through eight centuries of history in one of Switzerland's finest medieval castles, majestically perched on a hill framed by the Fribourg Alps. Your guide, a medievalist archaeologist and art historian, will bring the past to life, offering a unique perspective beyond standard sightseeing. Treat yourself to a delicious fondue, raclette or local specialties on a terrace overlooking the turquoise waters of Lake Gruyère, framed by a crown of Alpine peaks. Finally, ascend the Moléson mountain by cable car for a spectacular Alpine panorama and let yourself be immersed in a living painting of countless shades of green and blue.
From your hotel, we leave Bern by train or car and head first to a local alpine cheese cooperative in Gruyère region, where the producer will offer us an exclusive insight into the traditional art of cheese aging in the maturation cellars. You then enjoy a great local cheese specialty on a restaurant terrace overlooking the stunning turquoise waters of Lake Gruyère and their crown of Alpine peaks. In the afternoon, you explore Gruyères’ Castle and village, then take a funicular and a cable-car to ascend to the Moléson summit (2,002 m) for a spectacular 360° panorama of the Swiss and French Alps. Please feel free to personalize your experience. For example, I can arrange a 3-hour fondue cruise on Lake Gruyère or an early visit to an alpine cheese dairy still using ancestral methods.
