Peter was great!! We wanted to see scenic spots to take nice photos and he showed us so many beautiful spots. He went through alley ways and little lanes and the river view with the bridge was amazing! Felt like we knew Bern after the tour

The tour gave us a good overview. We were also in a neighborhood where there were no tourists. All in all it was cozy and interesting. Can recommend the tour, the tour guide was friendly and competent and he is from Berne.

Bern tour with our local guide
Leah_E, Mar 2023
We had a great time with Maya! She crafted the tour around our interests and shared historical and cultural information easily and helped us with ideas and recommendations for what to do during our stay. She is really local and that's what we liked. I have to say, that we had three different tours now with this company and always had a local Swiss guide. This is how it should be.

our capital tour
Samina_A, Mar 2023
The guide, Mike, met my wife and me on time at the hotel. He was very knowledgable of the Bern history and buildings (much more than the tour description suggested). We walked through the old part of the city and he pointed out and explained various sites. It was great having a personal guide that we could ask questions and converse with. At the end of the tour, he suggested a few other things to do including where to eat. Overall, an excellent tour that I would highly recommend and well worth the money.

we loved it!

We were picked up at the hotel and, despite the bad weather, we were able to walk under the arcades of Bern without any umbrella. Mike was our tour guide and he told us a lot of everyday-things about Bern. We really enjoyed getting a few insights away from the main road. All in all a leisurely walk.

Cindy T, Oct 2017
It's a very expensive 'tour' and Bern really isn't that big. Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice, but it was not worth the price. Yes we learned some things, we didn't know, but for the price, it was a horrible investment.

HenryC_B, Apr 2016
Dominique was perfectly delightful and we walked around the old town area for at least 3 1/2 hours. We took a much needed break at a wonderfull coffee house. She was very knowledgeable about the area and her English was exceptionally good! The weather was not ideal, but we made the best of our time together.
