I've downloaded the latest version of Firefox and corresponding (64 bit) geckodriver. Added the location of the geckodriver executable to PATH. Yet, when I execute the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
to call Firefox, I get the following error:

The error you are seeing does gives us a hint about what could have gone wrong as follows :
Traceback (most recent call last):

Though you mentioned that you have added the location of the geckodriver executable to PATH but still facing the above mentioned error, so a simple solution will be to download the latest GeckoDriver from mozilla/geckodriver and pass the Key executable_path along with the Value of the absolute path of the GeckoDriver binary while initializing the webdriver and Web Browser instance as follows :
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
Additionally ensure that you are using :
