About Tour Guide Julia S.
Hi!
My name is Julia, and I’m a private tour guide based in Zurich, Bern, and Lucerne. My journey began when I fell in love with fairy tales as a five-year-old bookworm. I studied cello for 11 years at the same school Oistrakh once attended (I’m originally from Ukraine). While history was my favorite subject and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, life led me to graduate in acting and work as a theater actress.
In 2008, I moved to Venice, where I started my career in tourism in 2011, guiding travelers across Italy, France, and Switzerland. By 2015, I had earned my license as a guide in Venice. In 2020, I relocated to Switzerland with my family and continued sharing my love for history, culture, and unforgettable experiences with travelers.
I strive to make every tour both enriching and enjoyable. You won’t be overwhelmed with dates and names—my goal is to share stories that inspire and connect. I hold all certifications required by the Swiss government and am also a certified guide in Venice and Chernihiv, Ukraine.
Please note: I’m not a driver, but I can accompany you in your car or help arrange a professional car and driver for your tour. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d be delighted to help you plan your perfect Swiss adventure!
Important
Additionally, I am available for tours in Lucerne on Mondays from 8:30 to 11:30 AM.

Walking tour of Zurich "The insider's view"
Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city, is renowned for its medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, and churches dating back to the 13th century. Often dubbed the “wallet of Switzerland,” it stands as a global financial hub, housing the headquarters of some of the world’s most esteemed banks. While walking around town, you will notice that many buildings have the year of construction engraved above the entrance. Some of them date back to the 14th century before the United States even existed!
