Self-Guided Audio Tour to the Many Faces of Geneva

Pride and love, gluttony and moderation, justice and anger, envy and courage go hand in hand in Geneva. In this tour you will not only manage to see all the main sights of this city, but also look at them from a different angle — from the perspective of human vices and virtues. The monument in honour of Empress Elisabeth ”Sissi”, who was stabbed to death, is located not far from the “doing a good deed” Jet d'Eau fountain. The monument to Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds visitors of a man who promoted ideas of social equality, but at the same time confessed to affairs with married women and masochism. The building known to serve as a shelter to orphans and bread for the poor in the Middle Ages was also used to lock up beggars and the insane, but the theologians depicted on the Reformation Wall were later taunted with inflexibility, mercilessness and heartlessness. We will guide you through the key places of Geneva and tell the true story of the real people and their sins and virtues.

Gang of 10 eats chocolate and visits Geneva old town

Isabella was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable, entertaining, and.fun. Chocolate was good. Tour was consistently interesting, old town was fun, and the boat ride was an easier way to get across the lake, then swimming. There is a bit of walking involved, but nothing major, and the pace was reasonable
