Our tour of Bern - Severine was lovely. She made our tour unique based on our interests. She suggested restaurants and shops and shared local cultural history. She also told us about present day Bern and what it is like to live there. It was a well rounded tour with a fantastic guide.

Great personalized and educational tour! - Ruben was an amazing guide. He shared so many interesting facts about the city’s history and the significance of the monuments, fountains, and statues around the Old Town. And he was just incredibly kind and charming!

Good walking Tour with a local Guide - We enjoyed our Morning with our Guide "Trix". So many important things to see and we felt she covered all the main points of interest. Bern is such a lovely city and we would recommend this tour company.

Worst experience ever... - Worst experience ever with Viator so far. It was not like going around with a local . In fact the guide has limited knowledge of the place. He was smoking all through the tour in spite of the fact that kids were walking close to him. I won’t be recommending this guide for anyone.
