- liamtG2038OQ0 contributionsUnveiling Geneva's Cultural CharmsOur tour of Geneva's art and culture scene with Pierre was eye-opening. He took us to stunning cultural landmarks, giving us a deeper understanding of the city's creative spirit. A must-do for art enthusiasts visiting Geneva. Thank you!Written 20 June 2023
- soophiiiieee0 contributionsSwiss charm with PierreOur Geneva tour was both informative and enjoyable. Our guide Pierre's local knowledge and passion for the city were evident as he showed us Geneva's most interesting sites in just an hour. We learned so much about the city's history and its role in international relations. A must-do when visiting Geneva!Written 24 April 2023
- leamll0 contributionsGuide had ZERO knowledge about anything Geneva.Unfortunately our guide had zero knowledge about Geneva or the tour, or even where we were supposed to go. This is our second terrible guide booked through trip advisor. We have used trip advisor for years , and it appears that they are hiring any local person who says they like their city to do tours. At one point we were literally standing in front of the cathedral we wanted to see and I asked her if that was it, and she said we passed it a while ago, I checked it out on my google maps and the front of the building and in fact that was the cathedral. She also mentioned that she was just getting over COVID, so trip advisor has no requirements for their tour guides. Our guide was nice, but again, she is not a guides and REALLY had ZERO knowledge about anything a guide should know. We will be asking for a refund, I hope trip advisor will do the right thing and screen their guides.Written 28 July 2022

Simon was fantastic - before the trip he reached out to inquire about our interests and did extra research about the things we wanted to see. It was a very easy meetup at the flower clock (which is so beautiful!) We learned so much about the history of Geneva. We saw some very interesting churches and explored old town. He showed us the model of the city when the fortifications were in place and then pointed out the places as we walked. We also took the tram to see the United Nations, WHO and other international buildings. Simon was very agreeable and lovely to chat with. I felt my understanding of the city was improved considerably thanks to this wonderful private tour. Definitely ask for Simon when you make your reservation!

Jurabek was a terrific guide! Our navigation directed us around the corner from our actual meeting place, so we were a couple of minutes late for the tour. Jurabek was gracious and dove right into the history of our starting point.
His knowledge and stories were excellent and he shared so many details about the history of Geneva, that we were impressed! Geneva is a historic city with so many world contributions, that we didn’t realize.
Jurabek was passionate about sharing the stories of Geneva and also shared some interesting information about Geneva today. He checked in with us at several points to ensure his pace was appropriate.
We enjoyed this tour and Jurabek was an amazing guide. If you want to hit key highlights of Geneva, take this tour. We highly recommend!
