Things to do Discover Bern Free Tour: Understand Switzerland
This isn't a dry history walk. It's a journey through time in Bern's Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history, politics, legends and real Swiss life come together.
You will discover what makes Switzerland so unique, the mentality of its people, how history has shaped everyday life and why this small country fascinates the world.
The experience is filled with stories, surprising facts and fascinating details you won’t find in any guidebook — all explained in a clear, simple, and engaging way, with a bit of humor along the way, while walking through streets full of history and enjoying a beautiful walk along the Aare River.
During the tour, we’ll return again and again to one of Switzerland’s favorite topics — money — and to Bern’s symbol: the bear.
By the end, you won’t just know Bern — you’ll understand Switzerland.

“Excellent Tour with Bartos”
In just 2 hours, Bartos did a great job of introducing our small group to the city of Bern, and Switzerland as a whole. We saw many of the city's sights, and he gave excellent recommendations of what to do with the rest of the day. He is knowledgeable, personable, and full of interesting information about Bern. Thanks, Bartos!
