After I found them (go to the top floor of the Les Cygnes mall and follow the path), Reto was there and said he didn't have availability that morning, but told me to come back at 5 and he'd take me out on a tour. I returned at 5 and discovered he was going to take me out alone at no extra charge--great personalized customer service! And because there was a music festival occurring that made travel through Old Town difficult due to crowds, he fashioned his own tour of the lake and gardens. He was a fountain of knowledge about Geneva's history, politics, geography--anything I could throw at him he could answer. He also took a ton of candid photographs during the tour and emailed them to me promptly after the tour. If you've never ridden a Segway (I had), you ride sometimes on the streets, so it was a little scary at first, but Reto led with confidence, so it was fun. I highly recommend a tour with CityWheels and Reto!

Si les anneciens n'ont toujours fait que passer devant cet édifice, ils lui restent très attachés, le désignant comme le centre de la vie politique et sociale de la ville. Outre les services techniques, le cabinet du maire, les services sociaux, l'Hôtel de Ville abrite une salle de réception qui voit régulièrement défiler tous les cocktails mondains, inaugurations ou clôtures de festivals et cérémonie culturelles en tous genres. Au centre de l'établissement, la ville a fait construire une grande verrière, la cour intérieure étant maintenant protégée. On peut y voir une grande maquette de la ville, ainsi qu'un mémorial commémoratif des combattants de la résistance et des victimes Anneciennes de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le bâtiment constitue un passage vers les très agréables Jardins de l'Europe qui lui sont contigus.

What an incredible day in the Lavaux wine region of Switzerland with Nicholas. Not only was he…read moreknowledgeable about the region but he had such a great understanding of the everyday rhythms of the area. He seamlessly sweeps you right in to the culture and the wine. From the wineries you visit to the vistas you encounter, everything is phenomenal. The only thing that makes it even better is to enjoy an outing on the lake looking back at the shore in his Riva. Add this to your wine tour and you will have an experience that will rival any other.

Our guide was friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the wine. We did the Chablais tour in a private luxury van. It was too fantastic. We had to do another so we took the Lavaux tour too. We were immediately impressed by the views of the properties. We were able to see a lot more of the vineyards this way and it was nice to have someone who knew the good restaurants to enjoy the famous filet de perche. The wines were delightful. The Chablais was shockingly fresh. Some had bright, luscious melon and papaya aromas. This wine is all about the texture. They had a great finish that lingers for a bit with good acidic structure. The Lavaux wines were lush with tastes of dried cinnamon, spices, cherries and just a slight herbaceous note. They had nice acidity and were really mouthwatering. All were wonderful on the palette, stretching out across your whole tongue and leaving you wanting more. I wish we could find more Swiss wines in California. I guess we'll just have to come back. Thanks Nic and Swiss Riviera Wine Tours for an unforgettable experience. We cannot wait to see you again.

Sebastien Girard, the owner/operator, did much more than that. A piece of our luggage was delayed, and Sebastien made several calls and helped get us the missing bag. He was our transfer from the airport to the hotel, took us on wonderful tours of Peyrouge, the Beaujolais and Annecy, gave us suggestions for our time alone in Lyon, and was the highlight of our time in Lyon. He was punctual, charming, funny, and solicitous of our needs. His large 7 seater van was spotlessly clean and spacious enough for us and out luggage. Sebastien speaks perfect English, and is himself well travelled not only in France, but around the world. When we go back to The Beaujolais region we will not consider using anyone else.

Only reason for my 3 stars is our waiter was RUDE ! We saw another writer helping other people he was so nice to them. Other than that I would go back.
