The tours in our catalog are fun, interactive, and adaptable. You will receive the standard historical data but also the quirky anecdotes that make a town a home.
Your guide: Native of the French-speaking part of Switzerland, I have been guiding Swiss-curious groups since 2020. I enjoy sharing my joy at hearing new historical anecdotes about places and their people. I can take visitors with me on those journeys in English, French or German.
English has become my natural language, after spending a few years in London, training as a theater technician and working in a cinema. I have also extensively traveled the USA.

5.00This was an excellent tour. Our guide Ilona was smart, funny, and very knowledgable. She designed the tour very well, starting up near the cathedral and working our way down through the city. In Lausanne, which has a lot of up and down, this was very well conceived. We hit the highlights as well as some unique and interesting “below the radar”spots. Although Mother Nature decided to sprinkle on us for much of the tour, Ilona was good at finding sheltered spots to stand and a lovely cafe to refresh in partway through. We would highly recommend this tour to all. Cheers.
Great overview of Lausanne
