This is a worthwhile tour. We learned and saw so much more of Geneva than we would have on our own..
Outstanding experience with our guide, Amaezi, who was friendly, engaging and provided excellent company as he introduced us to Geneva. Really felt that that we understood the history, culture and layout of the city after a few hours taking in some of the key landmarks and exploring the streets in a comfortable walk and conversation.
Excellent 5 hour tour with Jurabek. He did a great job covering all the key sites, history and culture. Geneva is a beautiful city with a rich history that we learned on our tour.
Jurabek was a local guide. We asked him to give us the highlights of Geneva in the city Cemtre. He did that very well and included the history of Geneva. He pointed out some nice museums and other things we could do on our own. We very much, enjoyed our 3 hour tour with him. Communication from the company and from Jurabek was excellent. We changed the spot to meet and he was very agreeable to that change.
The guide showed us the highlights of Geneva. It was helpful to know the layout of the city and this tour will give you that.
My private tour with Edouard was wonderful, i can't thank him enough for his attentiveness, knowledge, chivalry and mostly patience (he helped me with my awful french pronunciations). I thought it was a lovely touch that he got in contact with me a week before my arrival in Geneva, this meant our first meeting in the hotel lobby on tour day wasn't awkward because we had spoken and texted on a couple of occasions prior to that. Unfortunately on Christmas day my trip to Glacier 3000 & Montreux was cancelled so, I did my own tour of Geneva - taking full advantage of my free travel card. This actually worked out well because when Edouard and i met Thursday 26th we went to the places that I didn't know about so, it all came together in the end. The tour started and ended at my hotel which I very much appreciated and in-between he told me some history and information about the city. If you're unsure about what to do or where to go during your stay in Geneva, I would highly recommend this tour. Edouard is brilliant, good company and has a great sense of humour.

Great experience and Juliana our guide was personable and flexible. Was a great way to explore Geneva and see things we never saw when we lived here 50 years ago!! Highly recommend!!!
Juliana was great! My husband and I had a wonderful time walking around Geneva and learning about the city.
Unfortunately, our guide was not very good. He was a nice person, but we would like him to tell us more about the city and its history, to be better prepared for where to take us. However, Geneva is beautiful and worth visiting!
Hello, I am sorry to hear that your tour did not go as you expected. From your review, it seems as if perhaps you would have preferred a professionally guided tour rather than a Lokafy tour. In all of our information, we outline that we provide unscripted walking tours through a city with a local - just as you would see a city if you had a friend showing you around. Lokafy allows travelers to connect with locals, and learn about the city from their perspective; things like what it's like to live there, advice on their favorite restaurants, and also connecting on a personal level. As they are not professional tour guides, we do not require Lokafyers to have a detailed knowledge of the city’s history. We hope that the conversations you had with your Lokafyers helped you connect with them on a personal level. Regards, Lokafy Team
