We had a wonderful time with Anna who asked our interests so she could customize to our desires. We learned the history of Old Town Geneva and had some wonderful wine and cheese. Thank you Anna for a truly enjoyable time.

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!
