About Tour Guide Robbe V.

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!
