Great way to start your visit to Bern - Our guide Karina was excellent, only one suggestion, the starting point of the tour is in the Rosengarden which is covers a large area. We searched without any luck until we got a text from our guide to meet at the main fountain, that should have been part of the confirmation we received

The tour starts with one of the best views of the city and proceeds through the old town at a comfortable pace.
