This is a worthwhile...

Sue_M, Feb 2026

This is a worthwhile tour. We learned and saw so much more of Geneva than we would have on our own..

Amazing Geneva Experience with Amaezi

Stephen_M, Nov 2025

Outstanding experience with our guide, Amaezi, who was friendly, engaging and provided excellent company as he introduced us to Geneva. Really felt that that we understood the history, culture and layout of the city after a few hours taking in some of the key landmarks and exploring the streets in a comfortable walk and conversation.

Great Tour with Jurabek

John_P, Oct 2025

Excellent 5 hour tour with Jurabek. He did a great job covering all the key sites, history and culture. Geneva is a beautiful city with a rich history that we learned on our tour.

Great local tour of Geneva- personal tour

James_M, Oct 2025

Jurabek was a local guide. We asked him to give us the highlights of Geneva in the city Cemtre. He did that very well and included the history of Geneva. He pointed out some nice museums and other things we could do on our own. We very much, enjoyed our 3 hour tour with him. Communication from the company and from Jurabek was excellent. We changed the spot to meet and he was very agreeable to that change.

Nice tour

James_M, Jun 2025

The guide showed us the highlights of Geneva. It was helpful to know the layout of the city and this tour will give you that.

Truly customised and well executed

Leonie_T, Dec 2024

My private tour with Edouard was wonderful, i can't thank him enough for his attentiveness, knowledge, chivalry and mostly patience (he helped me with my awful french pronunciations). I thought it was a lovely touch that he got in contact with me a week before my arrival in Geneva, this meant our first meeting in the hotel lobby on tour day wasn't awkward because we had spoken and texted on a couple of occasions prior to that. Unfortunately on Christmas day my trip to Glacier 3000 & Montreux was cancelled so, I did my own tour of Geneva - taking full advantage of my free travel card. This actually worked out well because when Edouard and i met Thursday 26th we went to the places that I didn't know about so, it all came together in the end. The tour started and ended at my hotel which I very much appreciated and in-between he told me some history and information about the city. If you're unsure about what to do or where to go during your stay in Geneva, I would highly recommend this tour. Edouard is brilliant, good company and has a good sense of humour.

A Must Book

Juliana was great! My husband and I had a wonderful time walking around Geneva and learning about the city.

A Guide who Goes the Extra Mile

Lorraine K, Aug 2019

Benjamin is a knowledge, caring guide. He specifically asked if there was anything in particular we were interested in seeing. We told him of our interestin things having to do with the Jewish community both past and present. He took us to an active Morrocan synagogue, showed us the older synagogue(Beth Yakov) in the old city and of an old cemetery ( there are actually 2) with a lovely, recently renovated chapel. We also explored the sites and views of the old city. It was a lovely informative morning!
