Chocoalotto Great guide Olivia. , very enthusiastic and personable. Lovely walk around Geneva . Chelate shops were outstanding! Thank you for sharing Geneve with me!
We had Isabella as our guide, and she was phenomenal! It was my husband and I and our 3 kids (12, 9, 7). We learned SO MUCH about the history of Geneva and we tasted a TON of chocolates in all varieties. Taking the boat taxi to the other side of lake was also a bonus because it broke the walking up a bit. My kids all really loved the tour and they all said that our guide was so fun and made it really special. I agree! I definitely recommend this tour if you are in Geneva, even for a short trip. Gives a really great overview and introduction. We were so much more comfortable navigating the city after taking this tour because you really cover so much ground with the guide who is very helpful at pointing things out and giving recommendations. 10/10 highly recommend this!!
Great way to see the city and our guide Olivia was excellent. All the chocolate shops had gorgeous chocolates . I had a really nice time.
I'll be short - all the awards this tour won aren't just smoke and mirrors, it is really an experience worth your while
It was nice that the tour included local and historical history
