Great tour guide! Augusto has an in depth knowledge of Switzerland past and present. I learned a lot, especially about the watch industry in Geneva. I also hired him to take me to Montreaux, CERN and Valley de Joux. He suggested these places based upon my interests. If he had not been my guide, I would have left Switzerland knowing only about cheese and chocolate. I will hire him again when I return to Switzerland.

This tour was a Perfect way to quickly and efficiently see the high points of Geneva! We covered an amazing number of local sights in just a few hours. Bruno, the tour guide did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend this tour and asking for Bruno. You won’t be disappointed!
