Tour description

Welcome to Geneva, a city of beautiful landscapes and a cosmopolitan and historical atmosphere with much to offer.
 Join this tour in which we will walk from one to the other of two must-see water spots in the city.
Of course, without leaving behind the basics of the historic center so that your experience in this destination is unforgettable :)

For now, tours are in Spanish , but tours can be arranged in English , French , Italian , Portuguese or Catalan if you wish. This requires a minimum of 5 people and contact me in advance (at least one week in advance) to see if there is availability.

El tour nos gustó mucho!! Mario conoce muy bien la ciudad y su historia, es una persona con mucho conocimiento y le gusta compartirlo, fue muy atento con todo el grupo. Descubrimos sitios a los que no hubiéramos ido por nuestra cuenta y disfrutamos todas las anécdotas. Recomendamos mucho el recorrido 😊
