One of the best tours we’ve been on! The food was unbelievable, and the guide, Robert made it an even more memorable experience. His knowledge of the area, and friendless made the tour even better!
Lucas was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable. He was a pleasure
Ludivine was everything on this tour!! We really appreciated that she knew a lot about history- and not just the regular history that you would hear from a tour guide -but she also gave us context as to why certain historical events occurred in Geneva. The food was excellent too. But my husband and I are both easy to please because we like food, period. Ludi loves food too, and so that made the interaction even more fun. It was nice to take the afternoon to walk around Geneva, learn about different iconic places and get a real taste of the meats, the cheese and the chocolate that makes Geneva what it is. I can't say enough about how engaging she is, and you can really tell that she enjoys the opportunity to teach others about her city. I would highly recommend making a reservation with her!
Robert was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable & thoughtful. I was traveling with my aunt who was struggling a bit with heat and jet lag. Robert was extremely accommodating and pleasant throughout and made our first day in Geneva pleasant.
We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, the sights around the city, and the personalized tour with our guide. Robert was very interesting, personable, and knowledgeable. The meats, cheese fondue, and chocolates were perfect portions. We would happily do this all over again. We highly recommend seeing, tasting and getting to know the city some through this food tour.
Our tour guide, Robert, was fantastic! We enjoyed his personalized tour around the city and would happily do it again all over again. The food portions were just right and gave us a perfect taste of some food highlights in Geneva sprinkled with some historical commentary. Highly recommend!
The G7 meeting had prompted unrest in the city the night before and many shops remained boarded up the day of our tour. Robert reached out to us in advance to give us the option of continuing or canceling. We decided to forge ahead and had a great time enjoying the tastes of and learning a bit about Geneva. Robert was a friendly, articulate and considerate host who went above and beyond.
Robert was a very good guide! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Really love the tour and all the little hidden facts about the city. I recommend this experience a 100%😊
