What a wonderful day! Thomas was very knowledgeable and explained the history and the culture of Zurich very well. He took his time and did not rush us through the day. If you want to get to know Zurich in an afternoon, Thomas is the best.The best!

I live in Zurich and I’m a big hiker, so I'm always looking for ways to blend my love for hiking into everyday life. Zurich Urban Hikes was such a cool surprise! It gave me a whole new appreciation for the city - taking me through hidden paths, "secret" passageways, and green spaces I hadn’t explored, even after years of living here. Giada even included some Swiss treats at the end! Definitely recommend as a fun, active way to explore the city.Fun way to discover the city!

She came to our hotel to get us, knew all of the history, helped us get fondue dinner reservations that day and lunch reservations at an impeccable Italian restaurant the next day as well, and didn't charge us time for getting us to a boat trip and continuing on our own to Burgenstock that was the highlight of whole trip.Favorite tour stop with favorite guide

Giada was the best tour guide! This was action packed! She was knowledgeable and caring! So many activities up on the mountain! Breath taking views! The sun was shinning above but it was sooo cold! The rotating gondola on top was amazing! She explained what we could do and gave suggestions! We were on the suspension bridge, amazing! The ski lift thing, something Flyer had spectacular views and you watched people skiing! We liked walking inside the glacier, but very slippery, hold on tight! They had tubing, but we did not do that. So much fun, all day! We ate at the snack shop! I highly recommend going on this tour! Enjoyed it so much!!!Outstanding, a must do!!

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
