You’ll learn about Bern in a nutshell, the history, local lifestyle and modern transformation of the city of Bern, in this private walking tour. During our 1-1 1/2 hour walk you will learn about Switzerland’s capital, learning about local politics and lifestyle. Our tour starts at Bern Bahnhof, learning about the history of the station as well as the Heiliggeistkirche, the church of the Holy Ghost. We will then walk through the old town of Bern stopping at the famous Bärenplatz and Bundeshaus. Following a brief history of Swiss government we continue on our way through town visiting other local attractions including the famous clock tower, Einstein’s apartment, and the Bern Cathedral the tallest cathedral in Switzerland. We will visit some of the more famous fountains along the way stopping for a drink of water if you need one, bring your own water bottle and fill right up at the fountains. We will continue on to the oldest church in Bern, cross the Aare River and finish at the Barengraben and BarenPark. Just a glimpse of the beautiful city I will leave you with tips on the best views and must see museums and landmarks. Other things to note This is a walking tour and as such we do quite a bit of walking please wear appropriate footwear the tour is about 2 km. The weather in Bern is often all seasons in one day I recommend bringing a light jacket even in the summer months, and a warm coat during the months of October to March.

I know Bern, the capital of Switzerland, inside and out. It is a wonderful city with a lot of charm and there is really a lot to discover. This is also the reason why I would like to show the guests the absolute TOP sights of the capital: On foot we explore the beautiful old town and visit the Cage-Tower, the magnificent Bundeshaus (our parliament), watch the computer-controlled water-fountain, walk over a 40m high bridge (Kirchenfeldbrücke) with a fantastic view, admire the Zytglocken-Tower with the impressive Bell-Play, the impressive church (the Münster cathedral), the former poor quarter of Bern, the Bear-Pit (where real bears live), the Aare (this is the river that flows around the city), the Tramdepot (a restaurant where you can drink a variety of different beers) and maybe, if we still have time, the Rosengarden (a big park with lots of flowers and roses and a fantastic view of Bern)! But that's not all: As a "Bern expert" I know many mysterious places and stories like nobody else...read on! Other things to note Good shoes (e.g. sneakers. NO flip-flops), because we walk approximately 3 km. Sun protection (hat and sun cream). Rain protection.

Release the shorelines, hoist the sail, steer the boat, navigate and maneuver - or simply sit back and admire the majestic panorama of Alpine peaks. How active or passive you want to be, is up to you, and nobody is judging you. We're sailing on the magnificent Lake Lucerne - it doesn't get much better than that. Experienced sailors and absolute first-timers are equally welcome. And I'm equally happy to operate the boat myself, or guide you gently so you can develop and safely practice your sea-skills. Our starting point is Marina Lützelau on the North shore of the lake. After a short safety briefing, we release the shorelines and set sail across the lake to the foot of the dramatic Bürgenstock, towering 700m (2300ft) above us. Care for a dip in the cool water? This could be our refreshing swimming stop. Hungry? we will savour fresh specialities from a local cheese factory and neighbouring farms. We continue towards Weggis, a serene, 900-year-old village on the slopes of Mount Rigi. Sailing gives us unique views of the village, often termed the 'Riviera' of central Switzerland. Our trip ends back where we started, at the Marina Lützelau. For your peace of mind: I've never seen anyone feeling sea-sick on the lake, not even those who suffer at sea. The cockpit is safe: accidentally falling overboard is impossible. Cancellation due to rain includes a full refund. Other things to note Boat etiquette: if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right. Sailing in the rain is no fun, and unsafe, so in case of unfavourable forecast 24h in advance I will cancel with a full refund.

Our tour starts in the late afternoon at the pier of Neuhaus/Interlaken which is located on the beautiful shore of lake Thun. We will start the boat ride towards the St. Beatus Swiss caves and have a view on the waterfalls. Afterwards we will cruise on the lake and head westwards towards the hilly vineyards of Spiez. Depending on the wind and sun position, our boat will halt at the best scenic spot where we will be surrounded by mountains, lovely evening lights and sunset vibes. This setting will provide an amazing backdrop and experience to taste the local cheese that we have carefully selected for the enjoyment of our guests. Traditionally, we offer 4 different Swiss cheeses: hard cheeses like Gruyere, Appenzeller, Emmental,...and a softer variety (Tomme Vaudoise, Brie,...) The cheese is accompanied with some with some nuts, fruits and crakers. For those of you who feel a bit more adventurous, you will also have the opportunity to have a swim before in the refreshing deep blue lake of Thun. The tour finishes after the sunset by returning to our departure point where you could extend the evening at the loca Tiki beach bar and/or at a local restaurant.

Real enthusiasm of a participant: This was WONDERFUL, a once in a lifetime experience, and Rene is the real deal! (Kaitlyn Feb. 19) Easy snowshoe tour through paradisiacal landscapes. At the meeting point at the post bus station in Langis we first do some warm-up exercises and then I instruct and adapt the equipment. I'll show you the basic knowledge you need for snowshoeing and we'll start on a route that leads through beautiful landscapes and isn't overcrowded by tourists. Especially when it goes through deep snow, I will go ahead and you can follow me in the trail. After about 2.5 hours we take a longer break. Here I cook a delicious lunch for the guests. For this I offer you hot tea or punch. Strengthened we go on through the wonderful landscape of the high moor Glaubenberg. I am convinced that you will also be enthusiastic about this varied nature with forest, water and of course snow. A guest told me that this is like heaven here, or no, even like paradise. If there is no or too little snow, we do the tour with hiking boots. The beautiful landscape is also absolutely worth seeing as a moor without snow. Other things to note We will never go to dangerous areas, so there is no avalanche danger. All areas are officially approved for snowshoes and are safe.
