Best of Geneva historical walking tour through the old town and across the Rhône
How and why did Geneva change from being one of Europe's most heavily fortified cities to the international city it is today?
Come with me to learn about its fascinating history and culture while exploring many of its most beautiful locations!
We will touch the remnants of massive defensive walls that used to surround the fortified city as we explore how the Protestant Reformation and wars of religion shaped Geneva's history, learn about the city's culture, visit photogenic sites such as Cathédral Saint-Pierre, and discover some great places popular with locals, such as les Bains des Pâquis.

I am a dual Swiss/Canadian citizen and high school teacher with a passion for all the subjects I have taught my students: languages (Je parle aussi couramment le français 🇫🇷, bir de Türkçe konuşuyorum 🇹🇷), history, and music. As a resident of Geneva, I am enthusiastic about sharing what I have learned in my own research about the history and character of this fascinating place. I hope to convince you on a tour, through an exploration of the forces that have brought change to Geneva over many centuries, that there is so much more to Geneva than its stereotypes might suggest.
