Amelie is such a fun guide who really engages with the group. I learned a lot about Swiss culture and especially about chocolate (their could be a tour just on chocolate). The sites were interesting and Amelie was really passionate about the city of Geneva. Highly recommend taking a tour with Amelie.

Good knowledge of local culture and traditions. Quite a number of steps and inclines so need reasonable agility
