Great tour from a local guide.

Published on Oct, 2024

Very fun and informative tour about Geneva and its history. Philippe was great guide, very flexible and grew up locally.

Geneva Well Covered!

Published on Sep, 2024

Jurabek was a terrific guide! Our navigation directed us around the corner from our actual meeting place, so we were a couple of minutes late for the tour. Jurabek was gracious and dove right into the history of our starting point. His knowledge and stories were excellent and he shared so many details about the history of Geneva, that we were impressed! Geneva is a historic city with so many world contributions, that we didn’t realize. Jurabek was passionate about sharing the stories of Geneva and also shared some interesting information about Geneva today. He checked in with us at several points to ensure his pace was appropriate. We enjoyed this tour and Jurabek was an amazing guide. If you want to hit key highlights of Geneva, take this tour. We highly recommend!

Walking tour guide provided wonderful historical information of Geneva as a historical setting and as an international meeting place of the world.

Amazing private tour of the Geneva with Simon

Published on Mar, 2024

Simon was fantastic - before the trip he reached out to inquire about our interests and did extra research about the things we wanted to see. It was a very easy meetup at the flower clock (which is so beautiful!) We learned so much about the history of Geneva. We saw some very interesting churches and explored old town. He showed us the model of the city when the fortifications were in place and then pointed out the places as we walked. We also took the tram to see the United Nations, WHO and other international buildings. Simon was very agreeable and lovely to chat with. I felt my understanding of the city was improved considerably thanks to this wonderful private tour. Definitely ask for Simon when you make your reservation!
