Not worth the price tag
I actually feel badly about rating this tour low as the guide was nice - but I do not think that tour guide suited his personality. We spent a lot of time in silence as he didn’t seem sure of our path through the city (needing to check the metro/bus schedules each time) and seemingly consulting his phone about the places we stopped to see. He wasn’t very conversational and I felt that it largely was left to me to find out about what we were looking at and about Geneva, in general. This tour, based on our experience, was absolutely not worth the price tag. Skip this and just look up what the top sites are - it’s the exact same experience.

Fascinating focus on history, fully customized
Agnes, our guide, was lovely. Extremely knowledgeable and kind, and showed us little spots and pieces of history we never would have found on our own. 2 hours was perfect and we saw a lot.

The perfect way to start your time in Geneva!
What a wonderful introduction to the city of Geneva! We explored old town, learned the history of the city, saw a 3-d version of the historic town from centuries ago, enjoyed a lake trolly and more. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Wonderful afternoon with Tiziana!
Tiziana was really knowledgeable about the area, history, and landmarks. There was no question that she couldn't answer. She was also extremely kind and helpful and very interesting to talk to. I recommend!

Not a well organized tour
Our three hour private tour was with Kristina. She was very nice, but didn’t have any type of program in mind for us. She showed up asking what “we wanted to see.” we responded with the “highlights” of Geneva. We started by taking a short boat ride across Lake Geneva to a park which we walked through. On our way to the Old Towne. She showed us some of the government buildings and told us a little bit of the history of Geneva (some of which we found out was incorrect on our tour following day! It felt a bit like we were wandering. Often when we’d ask a question, she would have to look the answer up on her mobile. We’ve taken a lot of private tours over the years, and would recommend that she have a repertoire of tours in mind so if a client is unfamiliar with Geneva she could have planned optional tours, she could outline for them to choose from. Ultimately, we felt rather bored.

Great tour of Geneva in under 2 hours
Was an excellent walking tour around the city - we especially loved hearing about the protestant / calvinist history as well as seeing the cathedral and the old city replica.
