Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Caroline was great- super flexible and knowledgeable- really gave us a sense of both Geneva and Switzerland. We felt like we were walking around town with a close friend!"
"We booked Caroline from Canada for a bike tour of Geneva. We had a couple of days in Geneva before our trek to Mont Blanc and wanted to see the city, Caroline was very informative, the ride was easy, meeting place was close to our hotel, bikes were great. Saw a lot of the city centre and the old city, lots of stops along the way with interesting info and stories. Caroline took her time and did not rush, our 3 hour tour turned into 5. Caroline was a great ambassador for Geneva..thank you."
"Myself and my wife were visiting Geneva for the first time and didn’t really know a lot about it. The service Shiva provided was superb. She kept in contact regularly with us beforehand and met us in our hotel lobby to commence our tour from there. We went places and saw things that we would never have found on our own. She also told us other places to visit whilst we were there and took us to the train station to show us how to purchase our tickets to get to some of these places. Great tour showing us both the historic side of Geneva and even the chocolate shops. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. would highly recommend using Shiva for your tour. "
"Caroline was knowledgeable about Genève's history. I do not want to be around tourists so we tailored our day to unique things. The lake is stunning lots of things to do, great wine bars and restaurants. Highly recommend Caroline."
