Traveler reviews
Pearl Ada Pridham
★★★★★3 years agoMy sister and I enjoyed our three days in Geneva last October. Walking around in the old city up to the cathedral was a highlight, plus the lake with the waterspout and swans. We splurged on a bus tour into the mountains to visit a chocolate factory and the Gruyeres cheese factory. Well worth the money!
