Bonjour! I'm Ana, a private tour guide with over 10 years of experience in the travel industry. In 2015, I transitioned from a career in journalism to pursue my passion for tour guiding. While it wasn’t always easy, the joy of doing what I love has made the journey worthwhile. One of the highlights of my career was being Rick Steves' guide in Bucharest in 2016 for his TV show about Romania. Since then, I've organized hundreds of customized private tours, mostly for small groups from North America and Australia. After moving to Switzerland to join my husband (whom I met during a tour in Bucharest), I’ve continued guiding in my new home. For the past two years, Geneva and the Swiss Riviera—Lausanne, Vevey, and Montreux—have become the focus of my tours. I specialize in creating personalized itineraries that reflect the unique interests of my clients. If you’re planning a visit to this part of the world, feel free to explore my tours and get in touch for a customized experience! As a side note, I don't drive, so all my tours are on foot or using the public transportation network such as trains and buses. Also, I do not lead tours inside museums where local museum guides and organized tours are available.

Overview of your Geneva tour

Just an hour away by train, the Swiss Riviera (the stretch of shore between Lausanne and Montreux) boasts stunning panoramic views of Lake Geneva from UNESCO-protected vineyards nestled in the hills. This area has long been a favorite destination for artists, including Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, Lord Byron (who wrote The Prisoner of Chillon here), American culinary icon M. F. K. Fisher, and the legendary Charlie Chaplin. It's also been a favourite destination for some of the biggest names in rock, such as Queen, Deep Purple, and The Rolling Stones. Join me as we explore the charm of Switzerland's picturesque towns and the natural beauty of the countryside. Together, we'll discover the hidden gems and unforgettable experiences that await in the Swiss Riviera.
