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.

Vevey, a picturesque town on the shores of Lake Geneva, is famously home to Nestlé's global headquarters. The company’s founder, Henri Nestlé, revolutionized baby food in the 19th century by creating a milk-based infant formula. His partner, Daniel Peter, used Nestlé innovative product and made history himself by inventing milk chocolate we all love nowdays. The town is also closely associated with Charlie Chaplin, who spent his final 25 years at Manoir de Ban, a beautiful estate overlooking Lake Geneva, where he enjoyed the tranquility and breathtaking scenery. Today, his legacy in Vevey is celebrated at Chaplin's World, a museum dedicated to his life and work, offering visitors a glimpse into his personal and professional life. Vevey celebrates its deep wine-making traditions with the Fête des Vignerons, a once-in-a-generation festival honoring the local vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Highlights of the tour: • The Old Town is a charming, historic district filled with narrow cobblestone streets, centuries-old buildings, and vibrant squares. Its well-preserved architecture reflects a mix of medieval and Renaissance influences. • Stop at Place du Marché to explore the local farmers market • Lakeside Promenade - adorned with flower beds and sculptures, is where the iconic Fork Sculpture in Lake Geneva is. • Chaplin's World - explore the life and legacy of Charlie Chaplin at this immersive museum located in his former home, Manoir de Ban. • Funicular to Mont Pèlerin - this scenic journey offers stunning views of Lake Geneva, the vineyards, and the mountains, making it a perfect way to enjoy the breathtaking landscape.
