This guided tour of the Old Town in Geneva was memorable one. The tour guide took us through its narrow streets and alleyways and talked about its 2000 years of history. We sipped some coffee and savored a selection of local pastries by the side of square, where there are medieval fountains. The tour also covered other landmarks of Old Town Geneva. Great for memories.
