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 Zurich tour

As its name promises, Zermatt is the gateway to the legendary Matterhorn — one of the most photographed mountains on the planet. Sometimes nature speaks to us in the language of pure beauty — no words, no filters. That’s exactly how I feel standing in Zermatt before the Matterhorn. This mountain isn’t just a symbol of Switzerland — it’s a natural work of art, perfectly sculpted by the earth itself. Its flawless lines, iconic shape, and light you can’t capture in any photo. You just stand there, unable to believe it’s real. Surrounded by dozens of four-thousand-meter peaks, glaciers, and endless blue horizons — every detail feels like a painting by an old master. And every cent you spend here isn’t a cost — it’s an investment in memories you’ll carry with you forever. If you’re searching for a place to breathe deep, live in the moment, and let nature blow your mind — this is it. And I’d be happy to show you how to experience this alpine masterpiece in all its glory.
