5.00I booked this walking tour on a whim and had a great time. Tommy and Marie were great hosts for this scenic walking tour around the UN grounds in Geneva. Ariana Park had pretty views and plenty of photo ops, especially because it was a nice sunny day. Highlights included the Musée Ariana and the Red Cross Museum. The guides shared fascinating insights about the area’s history and global significance. The walk around the parks vicinity was a perfect mix of nature and culture. I would highly recommend this tour to people who are stopping by Geneva.
