개요

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.

Sadly Do not Recommend
PROS: the tour did a good job explaining directions on how to get from point to point. Also the tour operator responded in chat when the code did not work. Also having an audio guide is much easier than a written format. CONS: unfortunately this audio guide was very boring, and at times the commentary is simply reading passages and quotes that were not very interesting nor given a lot of context of importance. Halfway through I stopped and just listened to the rest of the tour to see if it would improve but it didn’t. My recommendation to the tour operator is to add more of a storytelling element about the city and stops.

Great Tour frustrating tech.
The tour was great. Well put together and have an interesting perspective of Geneva. Unfortunately the tech was frustrating. You need to have really good data coverage! I experienced drop outs and slow loading. Several times the whole tour had to be restarted. There was no way that I could see to down load the tour onto my device which would have saved a lot of problems.

To much philosophy, not enough history!
May be of interest to other people but I found the lengthy comments being too much about morale, philosophy and religion and not enough about historical information.
