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.

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!

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!

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!!
