THE CITY AS LANGUAGE
Revealing Meaning behind the Facade
DEEP
THE ARCHITECTURE OF IDENTITY
– How stones reveal a society –
« Having Dr. Piano as a guide provided the benefit of being lectured about the many historical monuments that one traveling encounters across the country: the spectacular edifices of great age and of exceptional construction marking the very center of Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, Zurich and Basel. Each presentation amounted to more than an introduction to the heritage of Switzerland. It was the sort of education that expands one’s appreciation of the unique culture of a society in all its diversity ».

ILLUMINATING
A WHOLE NEW WORLD OPENED
– One Walk. Lasting Insight –
« My wife and I signed up for Natacha’s 90 minute tour of the old city of Bern. It was obvious from the start of the tour that she had an unusual extensive and thorough knowledge of Bern. She opened a whole new world of early Bern history that riveted our attention for the entire time. Her depth of knowledge and details of the City were amazing. We came away with a knowledge that enhanced the next three days of our trip as we continued to explore ».
Thank you so much Natasha !

« I cannot express how joining YOUR tour was so key in creating such a wonderful first day of our trip ! I enjoyed so much all of the historical, sociological and cultural perspective you shared. From the evolutions of the three gates to the water works, to the iconography, the Zytglogge inner workings, the fountains – all of that ! The laugher and just good time together. It was a priceless experience. Thank you, thank you !
