Guiding since 2025Hi! I’m Lucas, originally from Argentina. For more than 10 years I’ve been traveling around the world, living a bit like a nomad and discovering different cultures and places along the way.
Recently I decided to slow down and settle in Bern, a city I completely fell in love with. Its beauty, history and atmosphere make it a truly special place.
I’ve always been a very curious and observant person, and I love discovering the little details that many people pass by without noticing. During the tour I’ll share with you the history of Bern, interesting stories, local legends and some curious facts that make this city unique.
For me, guiding is also about meeting people from different parts of the world and sharing a good time together while exploring the city. I hope to see you on the tour!
