Top Bern Archaeology Tours

Join a Lokafyer guide in Bern for a private walking tour that’s a new concept in travel. Exploring with a Bern local is less like a traditional tour, and more like having a friend to show you around, share tips on the area, and give personalized recommendations. From a pre-tour consultation by phone or chat to the walking tour itself, the entire experience is tailored to you.

Step aboard the Glacier Express with your own private guide and prebooked ticket. Giving you the chance to relax as you ride with your guide by intercity train from Bern to Chur, the experience is perfect for those who want to experience the Glacier Express but are unsure of the logistics. After boarding the famous train at Chur, you’ll learn about the mountainous region, and gaze out of panoramic windows to see the bridges, valleys, and lakes that typify the region. An onboard 3-course lunch is also included.

Hi, I’m Natacha—Swiss, Italian, Armenian, and this is my signature walking tour through Bern’s Old Town. I still remember the first time I guided in a church in Ravenna in 1995. Those shining mosaics felt like vivid witnesses of their time, speaking from the past. I then achieved 3 MAs and a PhD in Medieval Art History and Archaeology in Geneva, Rome, Poitiers, and Lausanne. While doing research and teaching I kept working as a guide, until, over time, it became my main job. Today, I am one of the few PhD-level guides in Switzerland. I love my job. I enjoy revealing the "real essence” that monuments have never stopped “whispering” to me. With this insider knowledge of medieval sites and museums, I create immersive experiences for culture lovers, focusing on architecture, social life, and urban identity. It will be my pleasure to show you Bern’s highlights and hidden gems in a clear, engaging way and to adapt the tour to your interests or timing. I guarantee you a memorable experience!
