Welcome to Geneva
This week Walki-Talki unveils its latest audio tour, a self-guided walk through the Swiss paradise of Geneva. The city is a living postcard full of history and one of the most diverse in Europe. The city is home to the United Nations. the International Red Cross and many other international bodies – a history of tolerance that dates back to the 17thcentury when Geneva was a refuge for persecuted Protestants from throughout Europe.
This comprehensive tour encompasses fourteen major sites and follows the Geneva waterfront into the heart the Old Town. Along the way, you’ll learn how the teachings of John Calvin and John Knox led to Geneva becoming known as the “Protestant Rome”; find out how the city was once saved by a flying tea kettle; and learn just how the Swiss knife got to be so darn useful. The tour is capped off with a visit to Geneva’s oldest Cathedral, and it ends in Geneva’s most beautiful park. This tour is a beautiful walk with plenty of history, characters and interesting facts to keep you entertained from start to finish.
So head for the crossroads of Europe and head to Geneva, Pearl of Switzerland. You have a fabulous guided tour to get you started.

Geneva is a lovely city and an ideal place for an audio tour. I sometimes feel that the city is too beautiful for the protestant tradition, that often places a higher value on other things than beauty!
