🌏 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.

FROM TIME TO TIMELESSNESS
Overview of your Bern tour
When I arrived in Biel in 2016, I spent two years feeling as if I were permanently on holiday. Through this private signature journey, I will share with you the hidden soul of Biel, Switzerland’s capital of watchmaking, through an exclusive hands-on experience where you will assemble components of an ETA 6497 mechanical movement under the guidance of a professional watchmaker. Beyond the art of precision, you will immerse yourself in the thunderous roar of Biel’s wild waterfalls, step back in time in a fairy-tale old town, and wander through the mountain vineyards overlooking the lake as the Alps glow at golden hour.
Your Bern tour itinerary
First stop after we leave your hotel: the Omega Museum, housed in Shigeru Ban’s visionary architecture, where you discover, through the story of the brand, the rise of Swiss watchmaking in its historical heartland: the Jura region. You dive deeper with an exclusive hands-on experience in a local workshop, discovering the patience and legendary precision behind mechanical watchmaking. After craftsmanship and innovation, we leave the city behind to enjoy a traditional Jura fondue in a mountain restaurant with a spectacular view over Lake Biel. The afternoon reveals Biel’s hidden side: the dramatic Taubenloch Gorge, with its waterfalls and cliffs, followed by the timeless charm of the medieval old town. Finally, you ascend the mountain by funicular and wander through the vineyards. The open sky and endless lake create a moment of unforgettable connection as the Alps glow at golden hour. Optional extension: upon request, I can arrange a final wine tasting and dinner with a lake view at a local vintner’s estate.
