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 stroll through Zurich, where history comes alive through stories of figures who shaped the city. We’ll explore ancient streets and the hidden narratives of the original Roman settlement. To understand Switzerland, one must look beyond the surface. For the Swiss, quality is a pillar of culture. In the atmospheric alleys of Niederdorf, we’ll visit an intimate boutique where the owners will guide us through a curated selection of artisanal delicacies: Charcuterie & Cheese: Additive-free meats and rare raw-milk cheeses from alpine dairies. Ethical Craft: Learn how stress-free farming creates superior quality. Local Pairings: Fresh bread with Zurich wine or craft beer. Afterward, enjoy a scenic boat ride on Lake Zurich for a unique vantage point of the city. We conclude at the Lindt Home of Chocolate, immersing ourselves in world-renowned Swiss craftsmanship. It is the perfect sweet finale to a day of cultural and culinary discovery.
