The Maison Tavel is just a few meters from our previous stop, in the heart of the old town, the oldest private residence in Geneva still standing! Unique testimony of medieval architecture in Switzerland. Destroyed by fire in 1334, the Tavels, a family of Geneva nobles, rebuilt it, giving the house its character of an urban palace. After passing through the hands of several influential families over the centuries, the City of Geneva acquired the house in 1963 and undertook an incredible restoration. This small museum, on its 6 floors, illustrates the urban development of the city, as well as various aspects of the daily life of the former inhabitants of Geneva. Inside there is the largest model of Switzerland (approx. 30 m2): LE RELIEF MAGNIN. A spectacular reconstruction of Geneva before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850.

    The protestant cathedral of Saint-Pierre de Genève has been the main protestant church of Geneva since 1535. Before that, it was the cathedral church of the bishop of Geneva for a thousand years (from the end of the fourth century). It was last rebuilt between the 11th and 15th centuries, with a portal dating from the 18th century. This cathedral is placed under the invocation of St. Peter the Apostle and was originally named "Saint-Pierre-ès-liens" (in reference to the Roman basilica). In July 2009, Saint-Pierre Cathedral of Geneva was included in the list of honor "of European heritage" because of its important historical-cultural value for European history.

    15 minutes

Agusto Made us feel like we were family!

Published on Jan, 2025

Augusto was incredibly informative, intelligent, and exceptionally kind. He made us feel like part of his family, creating a warm and welcoming experience. His dedication to our comfort and enjoyment during the tour was remarkable—he truly went above and beyond. Augusto even took the time to help us shop for chocolate and souvenirs, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to our day. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!

Geneva Private Tour, United Nations area and Old City

Published on Oct, 2024

What an absolutely amazing half day! Augusto's depth of knowledge and willingness to have robust discussion around not just Genevan history but history overall, enhanced the tour. His willingness to provide advice and guidance was great. We found it wasn't a formulaic tour, as Augusto tailored it more to our interests as he got to know us. Highly Recommend!

Augusto is the best!

Published on Aug, 2024

Augusto was the best tour guide we ever had. He was very knowledgeable, passionate about history, friendly, approachable and so accommodating. I travelled with my husband, two young children and mother-in-law. My three-year old was cranky at times and wanted to eat, rest or drink milk (which we didn't have). Augosto was super patient and understanding, he tried to engage my toddler and even told us where we could buy milk along the way. Nothing was too much for Augusto and we cannot thank him enough. We learnt so much about the history of Geneva, both from its religious and political sides. The facts he provided were truly fascinating and he made the tour a lot of fun for my whole family. Thank you so much, Augusto!

Amazing and comprehensive tour

Published on Aug, 2024

We booked with Mr. Augusto for private tour of Geneva and am so glad we did. It was excellent and comprehensive tour especially given we had only half day for Geneva. Augusto was very flexible and attentive to our needs. He was able to pick and drop us at train station and modified itinerary based on few places we wanted to see. He throughout tour was very cheerful, provided detailed history and interesting anecdotes of places in Geneva which we otherwise would not have known, and provided information about best places to shop and eat. He also was prompt in his responses when I contacted him few days before the tour and on the day of the tour. Overall it was amazing experience and worth the money. 100 % recommend the tour.

A wonderful introduction to Geneva

Published on Aug, 2024

Our guide Augusto was very knowledgeable about Geneva’s history and the historic sites he shared with us. He was a gracious and entertaining guide and taught us much about this lovely city. We highly recommend him to future visitors.
