About this activity

Bern, Switzerland, the home of 3 Bears, 2 Languages and 1 Federal Government is the perfect city to discover on foot. Your guide for this tour comes with extensive experience and hundreds of 5 star ratings. Please come along for an exploration of this charming UNESCO World Heritage Site. On this tour we journey through the arcades and passages of the Old Town. Along the way you'll see not one but two clock towers, the Swiss Parliament and learn why we don't use the words, capital city. We'll also stop by Dr. Einstein's old apartment and I'll tell you where you can find more of him in town. Then there are the fountains, cheese shops, churches, chocolates and bears. In addition to seeing bears all around town we'll walk over to the Bear Park to meet the locals. Exploring a city is much more fun when you know the stories, facts and legends that shaped it.
