5.00Stephanie was excellent, one of the best walking tours my wife and I have done. We covered lots of ground and really got a feel for the city and its history. The highlight for me was City Hall. Stephanie took us into the building and we toured a few of the rooms. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend this tour.
We loved this tour!

5.00Our experience was absolutely wonderful. We did this tour on Saturday and our guide informed us about all the interesting things about Lausanne and we even got a private tour of the shoe museum. I believe our guide’s name was Catherine. The experience was a definite highlight of our visit.
