  3. Train ride to Lucerne

  4. KKL

    Jean Nouvel's architectural masterpiece. Сoncert hall with a capacity of 1700 people, has become an emblem of the city. The imposing and elegant roof stretching over the lake serves to bring clearly distinct architectural features together: the Concert Hall, Lucerne Hall, conference rooms and art museum.

    The world-famous wooden bridge is the most photographed spot in Lucerne.
  7. Fritschi fountain

    There is a legend in Lucerne about a fun-loving farmer named Fritschi. Every business trip to Lucerne ended with him visiting taverns and having fun. He bequeathed all his money to one of the guilds to serve wine to the poor during carnival. To this day, the guilds fulfill his wish.
  8. Lion Monument

    Have you ever heard the expression: "No money, no Swiss"? it's not about the banks at all. The mercenaries are the history and the present of Lucerne. We'll talk about how it all began at the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.

We contacted Lullia early on and told her the kind of tour we wanted. A mix of history, where to go, mountain hiking, lake cruise, etc. She got back with us quickly and proposed some activities, we responded with what sounded good and left it up to her to organize. We started early in the day so we could fit everything in. When we finally met she was very relaxed but diligent on how we went thru the day. She recommended places to visit mixed in with in depth history about how Luzern came to be and evolved. We had a relaxing hike on top of Rigi, ate lunch on top at a mountain cheese maker, wandered around mountain paths, cruised the lake, strolled thru the city. Never rushed but very pleasent. It was a long day but exactly what we wanted. Probably the best guide we have used in all of Europe. Luzern how you like it!

luliia is the perfect guide for a tour of the beautiful city of Bern. She is very knowledgeable about the city, and she can answer any questions you have about the city.1 would not consider using any other guide if you can get luliia. I feel like we made a friend for life just spending a few hours with her. Thank you for a wonderful experienceWonderful Experience!

Lulia was a last minute substitution because we changed our timing due to a rain forecast. What a treat! She has a wonderful personality, and we laughed a lot as we walked around. Yet she is also very knowledgable and well traveled herself-so we also learned a lot, We call this kind of tour a "lay of the land" tour, to acquaint us with the city where we have just arrived and would spend a few days. It was perfect.Perfect

luliia is an amazing guide. Having lived in Ukraine, Italy, and now Switzerland, she has wonderful perspective on the history and culture of Europe. Her personality is incredibly upbeat. We had a lot of fun walking around Lucerne with her. Because of her nationality and language skills, she gives lots of tours for Eastern Europeans. However, her English language skills were very good. Iuliia also gave us lots of ideas about other hikes and day trips to take around LucerneAll you need to know about Lucerne

More about me

I learned to read at the age of five and quickly fell in love with fairy tales.

For 11 years, I studied the cello at the same school Oistrakh graduated from in Ukraine.

My favorite subject in school was history, my true passion. I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, but I graduated from the acting faculty and worked as an actress in the theater.

In 2008, I moved to Venice and gained experience in travel companies hosting tourists throughout Italy, France, and Switzerland. So, even before I moved to Lucerne, I knew Switzerland very well!

In 2015, I received my guide license in Venice.

In 2020, I moved to Switzerland, which is now my home. Here, I have my family and continue to work as a guide.

I promise not to overwhelm you with too many dates and names.

See you soon!
