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.

From Zurich to the 10,000 peak: In the footsteps of Agent 007
Overview of your Zurich tour
From Zurich, we journey to the Bernese Oberland and the cliffside village of Mürren. Perched at 1,600m above the Lauterbrunnen Valley—Tolkien’s inspiration for Rivendell—this car-free outpost offers front-row seats to the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. It is the cradle of alpine skiing, where Arnold Lunn founded the Kandahar Club in 1924 and launched the world’s craziest amateur race: the Inferno. The ultimate target is the Schilthorn (2,970m). Immortalized in the 1969 film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the summit’s revolving restaurant, Piz Gloria, remains a high-altitude temple to the 007 myth. Here, you can enjoy a Bond-themed breakfast with a 360° view of 200 alpine peaks. The Bond experience: Piz Gloria: A panoramic lunch in the legendary restaurant that completes a full rotation every 45 minutes. Bond World: An interactive exhibition where you can step into original film sets and relive 007 magic. Thrill Walk: A steel pathway clinging to the rock at Birg—pure adrenaline.
