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

Experience the perfect harmony of Swiss heritage and world-class precision. We’ll begin our day in Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Switzerland’s 'slowest' city—where life moves at a relaxed, soulful pace. We’ll visit the famous Bear Park to meet the city's furry symbols, stroll under medieval arcades, and marvel at the highest church tower in Switzerland (where you can climb the stairs for a breathtaking view!). After a traditional Swiss lunch in the heart of the Old Town, we’ll fast-forward to the cutting edge of innovation at the Omega and Swatch museums in Biel. From ancient clock towers to modern watchmaking icons, this interactive journey shows you the true soul of Switzerland. This tour is designed to be enjoyed like a local using Switzerland's world-class public transport system (scenic and stress-free!). However, if you prefer a more private experience, a chauffeured car can be arranged upon request for an additional fee. 100% customizable to your interests!
