    We had a wonderful time touring the city with our guide, Olga. She was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and brought the city alive through history.

    Shiva was INCREDIBLE! She showed us so many amazing things in Geneva and recommended so many fantastic experiences to explore on our own! We even had to reschedule because of an illness and she was incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend. You will learn a lot and find things to do on your own this way. I recommend taking this tour first day in Geneva so that you have time to explore more after.
