Anna was lovely and gave us a fantastic waking tour of Geneva! We learned so much from her about the history of Geneva which was our priority. She made sure to confirm that we were seeing everything which was a priority and was super flexible.

It was everything we wanted. Saw so many sights and love the history. Anna was personable, warm and full of knowledge. The cheese tasting with wine was lovely, followed by touring more of the city and off to experience Chocolates. Lovely day. Thank you!

Thank you for your prompt responses, for the flexibility and individual approach to the request. I didn´t attend the excursion by myself, my task was to find a guide for my colleagues who had a business trip to Lausanne. Anna took on communication with them and my colleagues were absolutely satisfied. Thanks again!
