The tour guide never showed up. The worst possible experience.
This has never happened to me in all the years I have taken a tour. The tour guide just didn’t show up. No communication from the company either. Horrible experience.
I booked this walking tour on a whim and had a great time. Tommy and Marie were great hosts for this scenic walking tour around the UN grounds in Geneva. Ariana Park had pretty views and plenty of photo ops, especially because it was a nice sunny day. Highlights included the Musée Ariana and the Red Cross Museum. The guides shared fascinating insights about the area’s history and global significance. The walk around the parks vicinity was a perfect mix of nature and culture. I would highly recommend this tour to people who are stopping by Geneva.
Very informative visit. The guide mastered her subject and put me at ease. I highly recommend this activity.
Hi, make sure to read all the details. This tour, does not go inside the UN. However, it does go to the surrounding areas. Marie was an awesome tour guide. Thank you Marie 👏
Enriching experience if you want to learn more about Geneva and its organizations. Franco-Swiss guide who allows time to take pictures.
