About this activity

Discover Bern with a local on a private walking tour that blends sightseeing, Swiss food and everyday culture. Walk the medieval arcades of the UNESCO-listed Old Town to the 800-year-old Zytglogge clock tower and the house where Einstein wrote his theory of relativity. Outside the Federal Palace, hear how Swiss direct democracy really works. Along the way, taste Swiss chocolate in the city that invented the Toblerone, sample Bernese specialities where residents actually go.

Descend into the riverside Matte quarter, cross the glacier-green Aare and finish at the Bear Park, watching Bern's famous brown bears with the Old Town skyline behind them. Bern doesn't shout about itself — which is exactly why you want a local. On this private tour it's just your group and your guide, and the medieval Old Town stops being a checklist and becomes a story you're walking through.
