Visite audioguidée des nombreux visages de Genève
Description
Fierté et amour, gourmandise et modération, justice et colère, envie et courage vont de pair à Genève. Au cours de cette visite, vous réussirez non seulement à voir tous les principaux sites touristiques de cette ville, mais aussi à les regarder sous un angle différent - du point de vue des vices et des vertus humaines. Le monument en l'honneur de l'Impératrice Elisabeth « Sissi », qui fut poignardée à mort, est situé non loin du Jet d'Eau « faire une bonne action ». Le monument à Jean-Jacques Rousseau rappelle aux visiteurs un homme qui a promu des idées d'égalité sociale, mais en même temps avoué des relations avec des femmes mariées et le masochisme. Le bâtiment connu pour servir d'abri aux orphelins et de pain pour les pauvres au Moyen Âge était également utilisé pour enfermer les mendiants et les fous, mais les théologiens représentés sur le mur des Réformateurs ont ensuite été raillés avec inflexibilité, impitoyable et sans cœur. Nous vous guiderons à travers les lieux clés de Genève et raconterons la véritable histoire des vrais gens et de leurs péchés et vertus.

The narrative thoroughly described the sights, with written text. Good directions. I learned a lot! Reasonably priced. I would do it again.
Thanks for your feedback! We’re really glad you found the content detailed, the directions clear, and the price reasonable. Knowing you’d be happy to do it again means a lot to us — it’s one of the best signs that we’re doing things right.
It was very informative and fun walking through the city! Good directions with pictures help. Hot day so we took some breaks and then kept going.
Thanks for sharing! One of the best things about self-guided tours is the control they give you — the freedom to choose your own pace and focus on what interests you most. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and found the directions easy to follow! Wishing you many great journeys ahead!
Perfect for some history and orientation and your own pace on arriving in Geneva. Perfect guide with interesting history and easy directions
Thanks a lot for your lovely feedback! We’re so happy the tour helped you settle into Geneva and explore it comfortably. Glad you enjoyed the stories and found it easy to follow — that’s exactly what we aim for!
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.
Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the content and unique perspective of the tour! We’re sorry that you encountered technical issues during the experience. The tour relies on a stable internet connection, and interruptions can occur in areas with weak data coverage. We recommend ensuring a strong connection for the best experience and to avoid these disruptions. We appreciate your suggestion regarding an offline version of the tour. While we currently do not offer this option, we will consider it as we continue to evaluate ways to improve our services. Thank you again for your input, and we wish you many more enriching discoveries on your future travels.
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.
Dear Eric_C, Thank you for your feedback. I understand that the focus on morale, philosophy, and religion might not have been what you were looking for. However, as stated in the tour description, the intent is to show the main sights of Geneva and explore them from the perspective of human vices and virtues. I hope this explanation clarifies the tour's unique angle and helps align expectations for future participants. I wish you enjoyable and fulfilling experiences in your future travels.
It was easy to follow the directions and nice commentary on all the locations. Glad we did it as felt more informative than walking around on our own.
Thank you for the feedback and we are really happy that you liked the tour and found it easy to follow and interesting. May your other travels be filled with exciting experiences and happiness.
Everything was just great! The tour is perfectly organized from technical and content perspectives. We followed the exact instructions throughout the route and found it very interesting! This guide not only lists some key facts about the city, its various locations and monuments but also shares exciting stories and background atmosphere of the past events - all these makes this city tour one of the best in my experience! Highly recommend for everyone who wants to explore and truly enjoy the city!😍✨
Dear 973evgen, Thank you very much for your feedback! We are happy that you liked content and did not have any issues from the technical side. This is great that you could feel the atmosphere of past events. This is what this product is created for - not only to share our knowledge about Geneva, but also to allow you to feel the city, to experience it not only as a place with many points of interest, but also as a place where people love and hate, help and harm, strive for power and are fragile... We are really proud that you name the tour as one of the best in your experience and wish you to have a lot of other exciting discoveries along your way!
We were going to be in Geneva for a short time and wanted to find a simple, inexpensive city tour. This seemed to fit the bill so we bought 2 tickets. I did not read the ‘Before you go’ instructions as closely as I should have, but a patient Viator rep pointed me to link to start the tour. You will need to use your personal cell phone and ear phones for this tour. The voice quality and directions to the various points of interest were the highlights of the self-guided tour. We didn’t enjoy the story-telling part (Sins & Virtue ) and would have preferred more city facts. We were also disappointed that the audio dropped out frequently and we would have to restart it several times. However, we were able to pause the tour for lunch and side visits without any problem. Again, the tour was inexpensive and very good with directions, but technical glitches diminished our rating.
Dear Jim L, Thank you very much for choosing our audio tour and taking time to provide your feedback, what is very valuable for us. We are happy that you liked the voice quality - we indeed aimed to create a very nice product, this is why we recorded everything in the professional studio and carefully selected the speaker. We are also glad that you found directions clear - this was our other goal that the route is super clear and easy, and one never feels lost. This is why the audio guide contains detailed directions with photos describing the way. We tested the tour many times, and it seems that you experienced technical difficulties because of slow speed of internet and here unfortunately we cannot do a lot. We are sad that you did not enjoy the story part. We wanted to be ahead of the standard excursion, where you are provided with basic facts like when the monument was erected and who the author was. Instead of putting together this standard information we wanted to create something better, more similar to the audio book, where you see many faces of the same city and get immersed into the stories related to love, pride, anger and other sins and virtues. Our experience shows that tourists usually like that approach, but we understand also that tastes differ. Once again, we thank you very much for the feedback and wish you a lot of beautiful experiences going forward.
This was a fun interactive way to see a few sights that we wanted to see and the directions were perfect! If you are like me you can read faster than the narrator or you can just sit a listen while you spend time taking in the sights.
Dear Jason H, thank you very much for your feedback! We are really happy that you liked the tour and wish you a lot of other nice experiences in exploring this world :)
