Bern Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The tour was easy breezy no navigating trains buses etc, tour guide Laura told us where to go and we got there

3 hours was an appropriate amount of time for our one day in Bern. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable in the history of Switzerland and Bern so we learned a lot (having even read up before our tour). Willi took us to diverse locations including one’s that other guides tend to ignore. Willis was a local guide and we highly recommend him!

Our first time to Bern, and experiencing the city while tasting delicious treats was a bonus. Christian was very timely, knowledgeable and customized our tour to our likes and needs. It was very hot and he kept us in the shade as much as possible. As a Bern resident for many years, Christian was very knowledgeable about the City’s history, and we learned all about Swiss chocolate from the different stops at various chocolatiers. Was a great way to learn some history while getting treats along the way! Would highly recommend this tour and give Christian an enthusiastic 5+ stars!

I appreciated Hector’s description of the history and culture behind the sites that we were seeing. He was very friendly and a pleasure to walk around with.

We lived the cruise and got it included through our Interrail pass so a definite bargain - the scenery was stunning and we loved our stop at Brienzersee for a wander and some ice cream

This was a great trip - so much to see. Mary kept us all on time, explained all the sites, and pointed out things all along the train rides. Highly recommend.

Take hot and cold weather gear as it can be fickle. (Note: The meeting point at Interlaken West is the train station as one goes down steps and walks to the docking point - this is confusing at first so one needs to allow enough time for this).

Our group totaled three couples. We booked separately, but didn't realize that was going to put us in different groups. It was a little bit of a mess up at first, but the two guides handled it great. Either way, don't book your group separate from each other. That said, the trip was amazing, and our guide, Elmo, was fantastic. He started by taking us to a map showing the evolution of Bern over the last couple centuries, and showed us breathtaking cathedrals and banking sites. We recommend this tour. It was also an easy train ride from Lousanne, but it was $36 each way per person.

We had a wonderful walking tour of Bern with Carlos. He was wonderful. Fun and funny and extremely knowledgeable about Bern and Switzerland in general. We enjoyed our tour and felt we learned a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Jean met us promptly at our set meeting spot & took me and my 3 friends to on a 2+ hour train ride, then up the mountain on the Eiger Express Gondola, then to another underground train up to Jungfraujoch/Top of Europe for the most amazing views of the Alps, that truly felt like a once in a lifetime experience! During our trip, he kept us on time to meet our connections, helping us when ever we needed an extra hand (or group picture!) & after the mountain, we visited the quaint town of Grindelwald (Lauterbrunnen's waterfall was frozen, so we were given the option to change our 2nd stop to Grindelwald) Jean recommended to us a comfortable and delicious restaurant that was a great end to our spectacular day! We highly recommend Jean, as he also shared many interesting and fascinating facts about the area and a lot of Swiss history as well! Great tour & great guide! Thanks Jean!

Jean our guide was amazing and the views from Jungfraujoch Top of Europe were simply incredible. A day well spent with friends, I would highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

We had a large party so we had to split into two vehicles. Both drivers were excellent and knowledgeable and worked with us when we wanted to tweak the base itinerary. And both were really friendly and enthusiastic.

I loved discovering this spot — it offered genuine local culture, delicious food, and great value. Perfect for travelers seeking authentic, budget-friendly adventures.

We bought a first class ticket which took us upstairs on the ferry , we had a beautiful lunch on board and a glass of wine , scenery was magnificent and crew were fantastic .

We took advantage of having a weekday off to be able to enjoy the lake crossing and its panorama to the fullest...

This UNESCO city is full of surprises! We absolutely loved it, and our guide showed us all the beautiful spots. Her enthusiasm made the tour truly wonderful. Definitely recommended!
