Catherine showed us the Red Cross tour around the old town. We were a group and Red Cross workers from all over the world and Catherine reminded us why we joined the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement to start with. Her energy, passion, engagement and love for the topic came across strongly and she completely captivated us. This was the best tour that any of us had experienced. Mille mercis Chatherine!

Une visite plus qu'agréable avec une guide qui a su rendre interessant et compréhensible ce moment d'histoire! Un grand merci à Catherine!

This was a fantastic tour of Geneva that shed light on the contributions of women to its history and the international community. We are a group of master's students, many of whom are new to Geneva, and this was a great way to learn about the city and explore real life examples of the topics we are studying. Catherine was incredibly knowledgable and made a point to tailor the tour towards the specific interests and backgrounds of our group. We would highly recommend this tour to any academic group!

Toute la classe de seconde européenne gardera un souvenir mémorable de cette formidable journée passée avec Catherine ! Nous avons commencé la visite de la vieille ville avec l'histoire de la ville de Genève cité internationale. Catherine a été une guide très accueillante, elle a pris en compte les attentes de chacun et veillait à ce que les élèves comprennent les commentaires qu'elle faisait en anglais. Nous avons ensuite déjeuné au bord du lac puis pris les mouettes pour traverser le lac, sur ses conseils avisés. Tout le monde était enchanté. La visite guidée du Musée de la Croix Rouge et du Croissant Rouge fur également un moment très fort : émotions, partages, jeux, réflexion. Tout était parfait ! Merci Catherine !

We had an amazing tour with Catherine who combined her knowledge of the Red Cross with snippets of information about women who had had an impact on the story of the Red Cross. We had organized this tour for our colleague who was retiring. It made for an amazing and memorable event. We loved the stories and the history came alive for us, thanks to Catherine’s passion. Many of us have lived in the area for years and yet we learned so many new facts — great experience and lots of fun. I would highly recommend!

The lived experiences and voices of women and girls that have lived and worked in Geneva become visible through the fantastic and interesting guided tour about women. We, at Plan International, did the tour as a team building and learning event! I would highly recommend it.

Not your ordinary tour guide, Catherine made us discover real hidden gems and kept us entertained while taking us on a tour of Geneva through the ages. She made the story come alive, both for the adults as for the children (11 and 13), comfortably answered all questions, and impressed us with her detailed knowledge and her capacity to weave it into a story that left us wanting to spend more time in her company. Highly recommended.

Magnifique ballade pour tous ceux qui désirent en savoir plus sur les femmes illustres de Genève
