We booked Caroline from Canada for a bike tour of Geneva. We had a couple of days in Geneva before our trek to Mont Blanc and wanted to see the city, Caroline was very informative, the ride was easy, meeting place was close to our hotel, bikes were great. Saw a lot of the city centre and the old city, lots of stops along the way with interesting info and stories. Caroline took her time and did not rush, our 3 hour tour turned into 5. Caroline was a great ambassador for Geneva..thank you.Canadians in Geneva

On a trip to do the trek Mont Blanc, found ourselves with 3 days spare prior in Geneva . Having previously wandered around aimlessly in tourist cities, not really getting full benefit of the history nor attractions- decided to engage the services of a private tour guide. We were very fortunate to be put in contact with Caroline, who was able to offer us 3 whole days, each with vastly different experiences. This included Day 1- a visit to the United Nations neighbourhood of Geneva, where we benefited from Caroline’s knowledge, she having previously worked for the UN, then a walk through the botanic gardens and along a shore of Lake Geneva, then a walk through the old town Day 2- after a captivating train trip, a walk through the beautiful vineyards of Lavaux, then a visit to Chillon castle- Day 3- another train trip - this time to Gruyère, to have a surprisingly interesting visit of a chocolate and cheese factory, then a walk up to the medieval town of Gruyère and the medieval castle -a totally different experience compared to the chilling Chillion castle from the previous day. At all times, Caroline was charming, punctual, informative, knowledgeable and patient. She certainly did not try and hurry us at any stage- all tours were genuine all day experiences. I can thoroughly recommend Caroline as a tour guide , and her recommended tours. Paul and Trish ( Australia) Caroline- Geneva

Carolina was a great guide, very knowledgeable and outgoing. She’s passionate about what she does. she’s patient, and we adapted together as the tour progressed. The vineyard walk with the lake view was magical. The medieval villages walk was a plus. She gave different opinions for the lunch at different locations which was very nice of her not to let limit on specific option. The chillon castle tour was very interesting for me and loved it. Thank you Carolina. A day to remember

We booked with Caroline who provided the most comprehensive itineraries for our 3 days. She understood our interests completely and adjusted her tours accordingly. Walking through the vineyards was magical. She was nimble with our schedule to maximize the weather. She would make fantastic dinner recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed! You will be thrilled with her knowledge and enthusiasm for her role. Felt like we made a new friend in Geneva. 3 Fantastic days in Geneva and Lausanne

My husband and our adult children took The 10 Tastings of Geneva tour with Caroline. She was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the city and its history. We thought going into the tour that it would be more about the food, but the food we did have was very good. Overall we enjoyed the experience. Geneva Food Tour

My friends and I went on a tour of the UN neighborhood and old town Geneva with Caroline. We leaned so much about the history of the city and life there today. We’ve been traveling Europe for a couple of weeks and this was the best tour we’ve had to date. Amazing tour!

We booked three tours with Caroline a couple of weeks ahead of our scheduled trip. A half day tour of the old city, a half day tour of the United Nations area and a full day tour in Lavaux and Chateau Chillon. When booking the tours and deciding the itinerary to make best use of our time in Geneva we liaised with Caroline who was very helpful in shaping an appropriate itinerary. She communicated with us in a very responsive and friendly way and with an enthusiasm which made us look forward to our travels together. Caroline maintained an appropriate level of contact with us ahead of our arrival and made sure that we were comfortable with all the arrangements. Caroline was knowledgeable and very good company on all three of the tours and we feel that we have really made the most of our time in Geneva. We would have no hesitation in recommending Caroline as a private tour guide. Debra and Keith (both aged 65)Showed us the best of Geneva

Our Tour of Geneva UN Area and Old Town was incredible. You can’t go wrong with Caroline….she brings energy and so much knowledge about the UN and about the parks we passed through. Her story telling is great and her knowledge of the Reformation was inspiring. We would love to tour with her again and we recommend her.Great Tour, Awesome Guide…So Much Energy!

We had a wonderful introductory city tour with Caroline. It’s obvious that she loves Geneva and she’s very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. We had some specific questions about things to do while in town. I communicated this to her before we met and she was able to answer our questions and give us great recommendations for other days. We enjoyed meeting Caroline and spending part of our day with her.Outstanding Geneva city tour!

Carlos a été littéralement le rayon de soleil de Genève pendant le séjour! J'ai été très bien accueilli au delà de ce que je pouvais espérer. Vous trouverez en lui un hôte très chaleureux et disponible et d'une gentillesse incroyable. Best person you can find in Geneva ! 😊🤗Review from Salomé

Caroline was the entire reason I had a wonderful time in Geneva. She knew SO MUCH about the city, the buildings, where to eat, gift shops, how to get around the city. Honestly, I was so lost when planning my day trip to Geneva, but she made is so easy. I also love walking tours, so this was perfect. She took me to the best chocolatiers, so both my brain and my stomach were full. Can't recommend Caroline enough!Best Day In Geneva
