A Taste of Lausanne

Published on Aug, 2023

This was a great way to see the city and get familiar with some of the sites so you can come back and visit during your stay

Excellent and fun tour

Published on Aug, 2023

Ana was our guide and she did a great job.  She described the buildings that we saw on our tour and went into depth about why they look the way they do and the things happening at the time that they were built.  She has studied the history of Lausanne and this region and was able to answer all of our questions.  Truly 5-stars
