• 5Good walking tour for getting to know Geneva

  Claudia's two-hour tour of Geneva was exactly what I expected. Claudia knew her stuff, was prepared, and adapted to us.

• 1The guide was a NO SHOW. Viator was great, the local tour company, not so much!

  Our Geneva private walking tour guide was a no show. We were at the designated location 15 minutes prior to our time and waited another 45 minutes after. I have submitted photographic proof. (A photo of the restaurant where we were meeting 8 minutes prior to the time). The tour company then proceeded to call me a liar and said that I wasn’t there. The messages they sent were unbelievably rude and insulting. They not only called me a liar but called me elderly (which I am not), and that I should brush up on my IT skills. They claimed I have What’s App (which I don’t). They said it’s 2026, who doesn’t have What’s App? Well we don’t use it much in the US. They also said that they called me over and over. Then I sent proof with screen shots of my call log and there were no missed calls, only outgoing messages to them that were not answered. All they had to do was say “I’m sorry for the mix-up” and it would have been fine. Mistakes happen. Instead they continued to rail on me over and over. Luckily the messages were all on the Viator app and saved. When I got a hold of Viator they were helpful and apologetic. They are refunding me my money which I appreciate. I just hope they cancel their contract with this company. What terrible professionalism.

• 5Wonderful Tour and Guide

  Claudia was a wonderful guide who took pains to get to know us, our interests, and our special requests. I needed additional sun protection, so she loaned me her umbrella; my wife developed knee soreness, so Claudia found her a return taxi. Finally, after a very enjoyable tour of Old Town, she led us back to our hotels on the tram.

About Geneva

Geneva is a lakeside city in French-speaking Switzerland, home to the Jet d'Eau, a hilltop Old Town, many international bodies and views of Mont Blanc.

Geneva lies at the western end of Lake Geneva, where the Rhône flows out toward France, with the Jura and the Alps on either side. The Jet d'Eau, a fountain that shoots water 140 metres into the air, marks the harbour. The Old Town climbs a hill to the Gothic Saint-Pierre Cathedral, where John Calvin preached, and the Reformation Wall in the Parc des Bastions shows its leaders in carved stone.

Top-ranked sights in Geneva: Geneva Water Fountains (Jet d’Eau), Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), St. Peter's Cathedral (Cathédrale St-Pierre).
