Geneva Private Tour
The adventure begins along the picturesque banks of Lake Geneva. Here, you will admire the stunning Jet d'Eau water fountain. This impressive jet of water shoots up into the air at a velocity of 125 miles per second, achieving remarkable heights of up to 450 feet.
A short 10-minute stroll away, you will find the enchanting English Garden. Within this lush green space, gaze in awe at the celebrated flower clock. This magnificent timepiece, crafted from 6,500 blooming plants and shrubs, features the design of an enormous clock face that changes with the seasons, captivating photographers since its inception in 1955.
Next, we will proceed along Rue du Rhône, a street lined with luxurious shops that contribute to its reputation as one of Geneva's most upscale areas. From this vibrant commercial zone, we will cross the Pont des Bergues bridge, which leads us to Rousseau Island, a charming islet at the convergence of the Rhône. There, you will uncover intriguing insights about Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an influential figure of the Enlightenment, before wandering through the historic centre of Geneva.
As we explore the Old Town, you will be struck by the neoclassical architecture of St. Pierre Cathedral. Its awe-inspiring facade is reminiscent of ancient Greek temples. Nearby stands the Madeleine Church, one of Switzerland's oldest Protestant sanctuaries.
