“Great way to get to know the city of Geneva and its rich history! Paul was quite knowledgeable and was a wonderful tour guide! He taught us the proper way to taste/eat chocolate. :)”
Geneva in 2 hours: UN and Broken Chair, Jet d’Eau and Flower Clock, then Old Town by mini-train or foot with a guide.
“Unfortunately the tour was altered due to the last day of the "lake festival". So, no access to the roads near the lake. Be aware that most stores are closed on Sundays in Geneva. Best part was the little train through the old city.”
E-bike Geneva highlights in about 2 hours, from UN and Red Cross to Jet d’Eau, Old Town sights, and optional Auer chocolate.
“We were able to see many of the highlights of the city that would have been a challenge to do on our own. Our guide was very personable so it was a pleasure to ride with her.”

“Ero in tour com la mia famiglia e la nostra guida Tiziana stata super , hai dato tanti consigli hai spiegato tutto, lo consiglio a tutti perché è una esperienza fantastica..”
Geneva Old Town self-guided GPS audio tour for $11.99, English narration with offline maps, from Bourg-de-Four to Parc La Treille.
“Long process to download the map. The actual tour, while interesting enough about a small part of old down Geneva, is like attending a history lecture albet with a good voiced teacher. The church it covers extensively is interesting but you don't really need the tour for that. The navigator in the app is slow to upload so you walk a ways, think you're good, then it uploads and you're in the wrong place. Uggh.”
Glide through Geneva’s Old Town on an e-bike, hit top sights fast, then enjoy free time inside the Museum of Ethnography.
“Bonne balade pour visiter les sites "éloignés" comme la "Broken Chair". Par contre il faut prévoir une visite (à pieds) du Centre en complément. La guide ne nous a pas appris grand chose (à part que Gustave Eiffel était Suisse !) et nous n'avons pas apprécié le parcours qui se fait à 50 % sur des lieux interdit aux vélos. Les remarques des passants puis finalement de la Police, bref très désagréable. Enfin les signalisations n'étaient pas respectées ce qui était gênant voire dangereux. Pour le prix prévoir un parcours qui respecte la loi me semble un minimum. C'était proche de l'amateurisme.”
2-hour private walking tour of Geneva’s Old Town, Place de Neuve to St Pierre Cathedral, with human rights stories and UN/Red Cross views.
“This guided tour of the Old Town in Geneva was memorable one. The tour guide took us through its narrow streets and alleyways and talked about its 2000 years of history. We sipped some coffee and savored a selection of local pastries by the side of square, where there are medieval fountains. The tour also covered other landmarks of Old Town Geneva. Great for memories.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
