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.

Discover the world of Swiss watchmaking inside the workshop of one of the few independent watch brands founded and still operating in Zurich. This hands-on experience lets you work like a real watchmaker. Wearing a watchmaker's coat and using professional tools, you'll learn how a mechanical movement works and carefully disassemble and reassemble it under expert guidance. For an even more exclusive experience, you may choose a watch model, assemble your own timepiece, and purchase it as a unique personal creation. Prices start at CHF 3,600 plus the cost of the experience and are payable directly at the workshop. For groups of up to 30 guests, the experience can be combined with a visit to the Beyer Clock and Watch Museum. After the workshop, celebrate your achievement with a glass of champagne at Zurich's historic Café Odeon. Join me for a unique journey into Swiss craftsmanship and watchmaking tradition.
