My name is Oli, and guiding is truly my life’s calling, a passion passed down from my father, who proudly guided travelers until he was 81 years old. I hold a four-year university degree in Tour Guiding and have spent over two decades leading journeys across Turkey, South America, and Southeast Asia. For 13 years, I specialized exclusively in private luxury travel, curation, and guiding for high-profile global business leaders. Today, I call Geneva home, the beautiful city where my wife was raised and my son was born. I have spent the last year perfecting a walking tour that brings my lifetime of international expertise to the streets of this global hub. Because of my background, I specialize in dynamic, personalized storytelling; I love tailoring my insights to connect directly with your home country and profession.
