Overview

With a PhD in the humanities and years of experience exploring different countries and cultures, I offer more than just a guided tour — I offer depth, perspective, and human connection. I bring history, culture, and current life in Switzerland to life with insight, enthusiasm, and storytelling. My background in political and social engagement, my love for languages, and my genuine care for each guest make every experience thoughtful, meaningful, and personal.

What to expect

  1. Neuhausen am Rheinfall
    30m
    Get ready to experience the power and beauty of Europe’s largest waterfall! At Rheinfall, you'll feel the roar of the rushing water up close. We’ll explore the best viewing platforms, take a scenic walk along the river, and, if you like, you can even take a boat ride close to the falls. I’ll share with you the history of the site, fun local legends, and show you the most beautiful photo spots.
  2. Stein am Rhein Town
    30m
    Step into a real-life fairy tale! In Stein am Rhein, you’ll walk through charming medieval streets filled with colorful frescoed houses. I’ll guide you through the town’s fascinating history, show you hidden corners, and share stories of daily life from centuries ago. We’ll visit the iconic town square, see the best-preserved old buildings, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere along the Rhine River.
  3. Egg
    30m
    Perched high above Lake Zurich, Hochwacht Pfannenstiel offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake, the Greifensee, and the distant Alps. Surrounded by lush forests and peaceful walking trails, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, take in the scenery, and enjoy nature at its best. A climb to the iconic observation tower rewards you with one of the most beautiful vistas in the region. Whether you come for a peaceful hike, a scenic bike ride, or a relaxing meal at the panoramic restaurant, Hochwacht is a true hidden gem just outside the city.
  4. Ritterhaus Bubikon
    30m
    Visit one of Switzerland’s hidden medieval treasures — the Ritterhaus Bubikon, a former Knights Templar castle. This well-preserved commandery offers a deep dive into the world of the legendary knightly orders. Explore ancient halls, the chapel, medieval weapons, and a historic herb garden, all surrounded by peaceful countryside just outside Zurich. A must-see for history lovers and curious minds!
  5. Bachtelturm
    30m
    Enjoy breathtaking 360° views from Bachtel-Kulm, a scenic peak in the Zurich Oberland. From the observation tower, you’ll see Lake Zurich, the Alps, and rolling Swiss hills. A perfect spot for photos, peaceful walks, and a meal at the panoramic restaurant surrounded by nature.
  6. Kaltbrunn
    30m
    Walk through a blooming green valley surrounded by the majestic Alps — a peaceful mix of fresh-cut grass and wildflowers. This scenic route leads from the village of Wald to the charming Waldegg restaurant in Bilten, offering stunning views and a taste of authentic Swiss nature.
  7. Bilten
    30m
    We’ll visit the chocolate museum in Läderach Bilten, where you’ll discover the secrets of Swiss chocolate making — and even create your own delicious chocolate to take home.
  8. Walenstadt
    30m
    In the town of Walenstadt, nestled on the shore of the crystal-clear blue Lake Walen, you’ll enjoy the tranquility of Swiss nature at the foot of majestic mountains, whose snowy peaks rise up to nearly 3,000 meters.
  9. Kloster Einsiedeln
    30m
    Visit the magnificent Einsiedeln Abbey, a 10th-century Benedictine monastery and one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in Europe. Inside, you’ll see the revered shrine of the Black Madonna — a powerful symbol of faith and mystery. For horse lovers, the abbey’s historic stables offer a chance to meet over 50 beautifully kept horses, continuing a centuries-old monastic tradition.
  10. 30m
    Atzmännig is a hidden retreat in the heart of the Zürich Highlands, perfect for families and nature lovers. You’ll enjoy wide views across the Swiss Alps — stretching toward the horizon in the direction of Italy. This peaceful spot offers plenty of fun for kids, including a summer toboggan run, rope park, petting zoo, and scenic hiking trails. It’s an ideal day trip full of fresh air, alpine charm, and adventure.
  11. Zug
    30m
    Zug is a global business hub and tax haven, home to the headquarters of major international companies — yet behind its modern profile lies a charming old trading town. Once part of the spice route from Italy into Europe, Zug's historic center still holds centuries-old wooden beams you can touch with your own hands. Visit an open-air animal park on the shores of stunning Lake Zug, and even dive beneath the lake’s surface — without getting wet — thanks to a unique interactive exhibit.
  12. Lucerne
    1h
    Join me on a journey to Lucerne — a city rich in history and charm. Unlike the reserved, Protestant character of Zurich, Lucerne proudly reflects its Catholic heritage with ornate architecture and lively traditions. Walk across the iconic wooden Chapel Bridge, explore the winding alleys of the Old Town, and visit the city’s medieval fortification wall, where you can view some of the oldest working clock mechanisms in the world — from the inside.
