What awaits you on the city tour

The guided tour of Thun combines history, the present and personal insights. Your group will walk through the old town, past historical sites, hidden details and well-known landmarks.

This is what characterises the tour:

  • Guided by local city guides
  • Personal, dialogue-based and easy to understand
  • A mixture of history, everyday stories and topical references
  • The pace and content are tailored to the group
  • Can be ideally combined with an aperitif or a meal together

The tour creates a shared experience without being overwhelming. It has a unifying, calm and inspiring effect at the same time.

The tour is organised exclusively for your group and the content and pace are tailored to your event.
