Hello everyone, my name is Julia, and I would love to introduce you to the Switzerland I know and love. Switzerland for me is not just a travel destination — it is my everyday life. I live and work in the very heart of Zürich, surrounded by the rhythms, traditions, and quiet beauty of Swiss life, and create tailor-made journeys across Switzerland, offering private tours in Zürich, Lucerne, and Bern. My partner’s family comes from Bern and Zürich, and through these close local connections I have become deeply immersed in Swiss culture and community. My story began with music and theatre: I studied cello at a specialized music school and later graduated from the acting department of the Kyiv Theatre Institute, after which I worked in theatre. This background shaped the way I guide. I spent over ten years living and working in Venice. I started out in a travel agency, which gave me a deep understanding of how trips are organized, and later obtained my official guide license. I led tours in Venice and the Prosecco wine region, combining historical sites with fascinating stories. Now in Switzerland, I continue doing what I love and offer only the experiences that I genuinely enjoy myself. I’ll show you the beauty of Switzerland and its hidden gems. Let’s create your perfect journey together! I have all the requirements of the Swiss government to fulfil professionally my work. I am certificated travel guide of Venice and I have a guide license in the city of Chernihiv, Ukraine. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate professional car&driver. Please contact me even if I am unavailable! Switzerland with Julia.

Overview of your Lucerne tour

If you’re dreaming of a fairytale city surrounded by the Alps, Lucerne and Mount Pilatus are must-visit gems in the heart of Switzerland. Mount Pilatus is a symbol of Lucerne and central Switzerland. We’ll start with a scenic boat ride on Lake Lucerne, taking in stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Then, from Alpnachstad, we’ll board the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, passing fields and forests, and ascend to 2,132 meters at Pilatus Kulm. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of 73 Alpine peaks. We’ll visit several viewing platforms and see Lake Lucerne shaped like a cross – a symbol of the birth of the Swiss Confederation. Afterward, we’ll descend to Kriens on the Dragon Ride aerial cableway and Panorama gondolas, then take a bus back to Lucerne. Before heading up the mountain, we’ll explore Lucerne on a 2-hour walking tour, visiting the Lion Monument, Old Town, and lakeside promenade, setting the stage for our unforgettable adventure.
