Wonderful experience!

Published on Aug, 2024

My daughter and I are from the U.S. and were greeted by Ana. She was wonderful. So knowledgeable, spoke English for us. Answered every question we had. Very interesting tour of large cathedral with tidbits about its history as Catholic and Protestant church. Explained so much about the city’s history and fun facts about the Lake and distant landmarks. We took public transit once to get to the Lake area. She gave great recommendation on restaurant for dinner too which we just enjoyed. Highly recommend this tour and Ana if she’s available!

Excellent Tour with Cristian!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a lovely tour with Cristian. He asked us our interests and customized the tour to cover those aspects. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Lausanne and the area. We especially enjoyed the cathedral, where he pointed out the remnants of paint on statues and explained the stories in the stained glass windows. Excellent tour!

This tour even included a great white shark

Published on Jun, 2024

Annie did a great job. She was very knowledgeable of the area and history. The tour was a nice mix of both (with a bit of nice scenic overlooks thrown in), Lausanne is a beautiful city, and we enjoyed the tour immensely.

A Beautiful Town

Published on May, 2024

Views of Lake Geneva were wonderful. I loved the winding shop filled streets. Thomas was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Switzerland. I especially enjoyed touring the Cathedral.

Lovely Lausanne
