We had such a great morning walking through Bern with Graham. He was knowedgable about the city and took us to so many of the best spots in the city. We learned so much about the history and culture of the city. We booked a four hour tour which was a perfect amount of time to see so much of what Bern has to offer. I highly recommend this tour to someone who has a limited amount of time in this great city!
Graham even took pictures throughout the tour to share with us when we returned to the States.

Yvonne is extremely personable and her tour was very insightful. She took us to all the classic sites but also off the beaten track to places that we would never have seen otherwise. Very interesting and highly recommended

We had a wonderful tour of Bern with James. He was quite knowledgeable and it was like exploring the city with a new friend. Before meeting, I told him I was interested in exploring there history of the Mennonites in Bern and he did some research and showed us pertinent places. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to learn about my families history in this beautiful city.

A young Swiss woman named Severine met us for the tour. She had worked in Bern for over 10 years, and lived there for the last five.
Severine was the same age as my oldest son, so all of my boys related to her.. we Spent nearly 3 hours walking around town taking all the sites and listening to personal experiences separate had as well as local history & current culture.
Severine is a sweetheart. Although our tour should’ve ended after two hours, she stayed with us and took us to a local shop after we expressed interest in purchasing something.
Severine was a bit quiet, but very informative. The whole family felt comfortable with her, and we enjoyed the tour very much.

Yvonne was a great guide to the city! She's an American expat whose been living in Switzerland for decades. Both her husband and son work for the government in Bern, and the city has such a small town feel that we actually ran into her neighbors on the street.
It was a nice surprise that our local was American. 0 language or accent barrier, plus a great understanding of what really makes Bern unique. My wife and I took this tour one hour after arriving in the city by train, and we immediately fell in love with it. Best stop of our whole tour across five countries!
Yvonne shared a great deal of the history of many of the buildings, and lots of insight into the local culture. She also had great dining recommendations.
As a travel tip: we arrived late Saturday afternoon and just missed the street market (which I think is multiple days a week) and most places are closed on Sunday (our one full day there). There was still plenty to see and plenty of places open Sunday, but just a heads-up.
