Top Bern Half-day Tours

The old town of Bern is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Legend states that Duke Berchthold of Zahringen named the city after the first animal he killed during a hunting expedition: it was a Bear! Here you will enjoy a medieval air of the city with its Renaissance fountains, narrow streets and historic towers... and not only! During our tour we will: - taste the best, according to the version of the last few years, the country's chocolate. And it's not about Toblerone, who, by the way, is also from Bern. - We will see a very unusual restaurant, it is better to book a table in it in advance, where the French invaders died drowning in wine. - Find out where Bernese gin is produced (you can learn how to cook it, for extra money, by prior arrangement) - take a picture at three monuments to Einstein. - We will visit a perfume studio where you can make your perfect perfume (for extra money, by prior arrangement).

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!
