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

Join me for a relaxed walk through the heart of the city, where you’ll hear fascinating stories of historical figures, followed by a climb to a height of over 60 meters for a breathtaking panoramic view of the skyline. Explore the ancient Roman origins of this vibrant city and immerse yourself in its rich heritage. To truly embrace the local lifestyle, we can stop by the historic Confiserie Sprüngli in the very heart of Zurich. Their charming outdoor seating is the perfect spot to pause for a snack, a coffee, or even a glass of wine while soaking in the city’s atmosphere. The adventure continues with a scenic boat ride on Lake Zurich, offering a unique vantage point of the city and its picturesque Alpine surroundings. Our journey then takes us to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, where you can indulge in the world of Swiss chocolate craftsmanship and see the famous chocolate fountain. This tour offers the perfect blend of culture, history, and the delightful experience of Swiss excellence.
