Tour description
Geneva is one of the world's great international cities, European headquarters of the United Nations and the Red Cross, beautifully situated on the shores of a lake framed by the Alps. Behind its diplomatic role lies a charming Old Town with cobblestone alleys and a magnificent cathedral. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's history to you.
You will see the famous Jet d'Eau fountain, stroll up to the Old Town, and hear about the Reformation, diplomats, and watchmakers. Along the way, you will enjoy views overlooking the lake. Both cosmopolitan and steeped in history, Geneva is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
