개요

The tours in our catalog are fun, interactive, and adaptable. You will receive the standard historical data but also the quirky anecdotes that make a town a home. Your guide: Native of the French-speaking part of Switzerland, I have been guiding Swiss-curious groups since 2020. I enjoy sharing my joy at hearing new historical anecdotes about places and their people. I can take visitors with me on those journeys in English, French or German. English has become my natural language, after spending a few years in London, training as a theater technician and working in a cinema. I have also extensively traveled the USA.

View of the Grand Pont with historical explanations. Part of the designs by engineer Pichard to avoid the traffic jams in the old town, the Grand Pont is the first in several colossal urban projects. Work began in 1839 and was finished, with much pomp, in 1844 due to safety concerns

Lausanne experience.
Our tour with Ilona was a pleasure. A resident of Lausanne, she had intimate knowledge of the city. Her own traveling experiences allowed her a wide range of comparisons to convey a cultural picture of life in Lausanne and Switzerland as a whole. A tour way beyond ordinary sightseeing. Highly recommended.

Super interesting tour by historian.
Elona, the tour guide, is a historian who clearly loves Lausanne, and so we had a wonderful afternoon with her. Super interesting, super informative. Learned so much about how the past informs the present in Lausanne, all the while walking through interesting streets and looking at historic buildings and beautiful sights. Highly recommend this tour.

Get to know the city from...
Get to know the city from someone who loves it. There's a lot of information about the history as well as on recent developments. You also get to see different quarters and their specific groove. Ilona is a great expert in history. She is a very nice person who cares about her audience.
