Visit of the main sites of Geneva. Explanations with clear audio guide, with small quizzes from time to time. The bus was covered in fact, certainly due to the capricious weather of this day. Namely the bus is taken at Place Dorcière, the bus station

The tour was superb. Olga was very organized regards meeting time and location and she was an excellent guide, providing very interesting historical insights about Geneva. I would definitely recommend a tour with her.

Great tour with the history of Geneva. It was very cold and our guide was accommodating in getting us to places where we could get out of the wind.

This was a great tour. I was only in Geneva for a day so this helped to be able to see all the sights

Very happy with everything .the tips on how to get to pick up was amazing
