“We were unable to go because we couldn’t find parking. There was a beach volleyball tournament going on that made parking worse. There was plenty of parking at casino parking. If we would have been directed to that parking we could have found it easily and we had plenty of time to get to the meeting place. I tried to contact the operator but couldn’t get a response till too late. I was too ok told they were by casino parking but wasn’t given the option to join them.”

Taste Geneva’s finest chocolates at three respected chocolatiers, with private TaxiBike transport, local stories, and hot chocolate included.

“Met by our guide at the exact time and location and he was very nice and friendly and informative, took us round to three different chocolate shops/ makers and we were given several different samples of each one, all of which were very nice. We were given a history of the manufacturer and it was also very interesting. The taxi bike ride was fun and the driver also took to some places of interest which was nice. Not the cheapest experience ( nothing is in Geneva) but it made my wife happy on her birthday so it’s all good.”
