개요

The tour is carried out by an independent Guide, local passionate about the history and local life of his city at heart. You are often in small numbers (from 2 to 6 on average, max 10 people) , see in private group. I want to offer an original tour, different from those sometimes offered by the city, with a duration adaptable according to your pace and desires. I offer a digest and a balanced mix of history, urban development and local life with facts and anecdotes. I can give you suggestions for typical or unusual Things to do, places or food to allow you to extend your experience in Lake Geneva or Switzerland. See you soon!
