Traveler reviews
Noura Zaher
★★★★★2 months agoI went on the English group tour (Heart of Geneva) on June 7th with Luke and it was a delight! He was very knowledgeable, encouraged questions and showed us many special places and details. He gave us lots of tips about getting around in Geneva, such as filling our water bottles from the fountains. Meeting up was very easy to spot and on time. It was a fun and accessible experience for me as a solo traveller!
Maria Antonia Delli Gatti
★★★★★3 months agoA wonderful experience! Cosimo was an exceptional guide. He had a deep knowledge of the city, telling us about art, history, daily life, and fun facts. He was very kind and friendly, and the timing was also well-paced. Highly recommended!
