Emilie Bissardon
I've been a professional guide in Geneva since 2009. I studied at the University of Geneva for the Certificate of Advanced Studies "Patrimoine et Tourisme". I work with the tourist office of Geneva and the museum of the Martin Bodmer Foundation. I'm passionate about the history of Geneva. It's so rich that there's always more to discover and I love that! I also appreciate the melting pot of cultures from around the world in a human-scale city where you can do everything on foot and go from the lake to the historical center to a park in a flash.
