    The tour was wonderful and our guide Carlos was fantastic. He went at a slow pace to accommodate us and went to the places we wanted to see.

    Well worth the detour.

    Bern is a charming historic city and a UNESCO world heritage site. Franca is an excellent and engaging guide.

    Amazing tour to see hidden gems of Bern

    We had an awesome time seeing the hidden gems of Bern. Our tour guide Elmo was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bern and treated us to a great experience. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn more about Bern.

    A Beary Brilliant Stroll in Bern

    Nur was a lovely guide. We got a nice intro to the city’s history, some key areas of interest, and a little key into what living in contemporary Bern is like. Nur took a leisurely pace with us and gave us some time to take it all in. Not sure if we’d classify uncovering any hidden gems, but that may have been more representative of doing this tour on a holiday weekend. Thank you for the morning stroll!

    walk with Elmo

    Ray_B, May 2025
    Elmo was great. Very knowledgable and moved at our pace. Took his time to explain everything and made sure he answered all our questions

    Incredible City Experience!

    What an absolutely FABULOUS way to see a truly unique town! Being with a guide who knew the history of the city helped bring the vibrant cityscape to life! We hit all of the stops as well as the hidden gems. Our tour with Nikolai was private, just my partner and I, and he reached out beforehand asking if we had any “must-sees” or places we wanted to hit, ensuring we had the best time possible. He was incredibly knowledgeable and we had an awesome time exploring Bern with him all afternoon!

    Wonderful day exploring Bern

    Ron_H, Jan 2025
    This was one of best walking tours I’ve had! With only two days in Bern I wanted to make the most of my time. My guide, Elmo, reached out immediately to ask if had any requests. He was very flexible and planned an amazing day in Bern. It felt like visiting a friend who showed me around the city. Elmo was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and how it had evolved over the centuries. I would highly recommend this operator and Elmo in particular. This was really a fantastic experience!!
