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).

Discover Bern with a local on a private walking tour that blends sightseeing, Swiss food and everyday culture. Walk the medieval arcades of the UNESCO-listed Old Town to the 800-year-old Zytglogge clock tower and the house where Einstein wrote his theory of relativity. Outside the Federal Palace, hear how Swiss direct democracy really works. Along the way, taste Swiss chocolate in the city that invented the Toblerone, sample Bernese specialities where residents actually go. Descend into the riverside Matte quarter, cross the glacier-green Aare and finish at the Bear Park, watching Bern's famous brown bears with the Old Town skyline behind them. Bern doesn't shout about itself — which is exactly why you want a local. On this private tour it's just your group and your guide, and the medieval Old Town stops being a checklist and becomes a story you're walking through.
