About Me

Hello, my name is John Paul Murray. I have lived and travelled throughout Switzerland and France for 50+ years, and have studied history and architecture at universities. I am passionate about European culture, architecture, art and food, with a particular interest in the history and heritage of the Geneva region. It is my pleasure to share my insights and tell you stories about the old and modern ways of life, including government, religion, industry, design, banking, chocolate, watchmaking, winemaking, gastronomy and more.

I hope that you will follow me on my guided walking tours around the cities of Geneva, Nyon and Lausanne, and/or my excursions to towns and villages in the neighboring Swiss and French countryside ! Whether you are looking for a private guided tour or a group outing, I can provide standard or customized experiences to suit your needs.
