Açıklama

Uncover the main tourist sights of Geneva while immersing yourself in tales that explore their connections to anger, justice, courage, and other human sins and virtues. Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours
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. 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 taunted with inflexibility and heartlessness. We will guide you through all the main tourist places of Geneva and in addition tell stories of the real people and their sins and virtues.
