5.00This was an INCREDIBLE tour of Geneva - Paul was the BEST tour guide. What an incredible, and unexpected, way to see Geneva up close. Paul taught us so many fun things about chocolate, and about the history and culture of Geneva. We had a lovely walk along the lakeside, walked into city center, and got to visit some great chocolate shops along the way. This is a great tour for all - including families with young kids - super easy walk, fun time and great company. Thank you again Paul!!
