Our tour was actually quite disappointing. The longer we stay in Geneva, the more we realize how little was covered on this 5 hour tour. We expected a tour of the old town, however Phillip just took us to the Cathedral and then we immediately left the old town without seeing any other parts or hearing anything interesting about its history. We did not see the Armory, the Madeleine Chapel or the Reformation wall, did not hear any stories about the old town. instead we spent hours walking along the waterfront and in the parks. When I asked about seeing the Broken Chair, Phillip said it is really boring and took us back to the waterfront. We learned very little about the history Geneva and Switzerland. When we returned to the hotel, i looked up what one would consider must see spots in Geneva and was disappointed in how little had been covered during the tour. Today we went on a chocolate tasting tour with another company and the guide took us around the old town, and shared so much information about different buildings and their significance even though it was not the focus of today’s tour. She did not miss an opportunity to tell us something interesting about what we were walking by. Phillip on the other hand missed every opportunity. A good example-we walked by the mausoleum with him, he did not mention anything, whereas today we heard a very interesting story about it. I imagine there were countless other opportunities missed on sites and facts that should have been covered by Phillip yesterday. i cannot with clear conscience recommend this tour or Phillip as a guide to anyone.

This was a custom private tour. As expected, we did a lot of walking during our 3 hours. Our guide enabled us to see several venues from Old Town to the Jet to the United Nations venue. She escorted us around on the convenient buses and a short boat ride. Without her assistance, we would not have seen as many venues so we were pleased with our experience.
