Best of Bern: Walking Tour of Old Town with Expert Guide

Overview

Available languages

Spanish

2 hours 15 minutes

Mobile ticket

I guide each tour as if it were hosting close friends in my city: with warmth, patience and the context that makes everything meaningful. I take the time to answer real questions, adapt the rhythm to the group and make sure that each person leaves not only having seen Bern, but having really understood it.

I was born in Mexico and chose Bern as my home, which means I still see this city with curious eyes — and I share it in both Spanish and English. At the end of the tour, I give personalized recommendations so that travelers can continue to enjoy the city on their own.

From the beginning, she made the tour super interesting, dynamic, and full of details that you normally would not discover on your own. You can really notice the passion, knowledge, and affection with which she shares the history and essence of Bern. Karina has a very special way of connecting with people and making the tour feel close, fun, and authentic. Not only did we learn a lot about the city and its history, but she also made us enjoy every corner of the old town in a very special way. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my trip, and I recommend this tour 100% for anyone who wants to truly know Bern, beyond the touristy aspects. Thank you, Karina, for making the tour so memorable! 💛
