“I’ve had a number of different guides in Geneva, but none like John Glass! John has done extensive research to help us understand the importance of the events that went on during the Reformation”
— Dr. Erwin Lutzer
Uncover History
You will walk the very cobblestone streets John Calvin walked in the 16th century as Dr. John Glass leads you through the rich Reformation history of Old Town Geneva. Explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world as you learn about the life and legacy of the Great Reformer.
“ Dr. Glass led my 10-year old students through the streets of Geneva several times to learn about Calvin’s life and work in this amazing city. What a thrill to see the children totally engaged in what they were hearing and seeing!”
— Felicia De Lucia
The Geneva Bible

In the videos below, John Glass tells the story of the famous Geneva Bible produced in 1560 by John Knox during the three years he was a refugee in Geneva.
