A fabulous way to learn about the watch making history of Geneva whist enjoying a very unique tour of Geneva from the open air Tuk Turks.
The tuk tuk was fun. The guides should of known more about the city. We asked questions they couldn’t answer
I really recommend this tour it was heaps of fun our tour guide was Jonnas make sure you ask for him he has amazing knowledge of watches and makes the tour a lot of fun
Dmitriy our driver cum guide was very kind and acxommodating. But this tour is not related to watches only which I expected
I booked this tour for myself for some free time that I had while I was in Geneva for two days. I was hoping to get a city tour along with some historical and cultural information about Geneva in addition to Geneva’s role in watch-making. The entire tour lasted about an hour and a half. Aside from pointing out some public clocks scattered around town, driving past one the Rolex buildings and seeing some but not all of Geneva’s famous sites, there wasn’t much other material. The guide was good when he was talking, but he didn’t really impart that much material because he was busy driving the Tuk Tuk facing forward and I was seated behind him. You’re probably better off doing a general city tour rather than a “watch-focused” tour. There’s so much history of the watch-making industry tied into the city of Geneva and so many of the public spaces are related to clocks that you’ll get a lot more content in a general tour and still fill your desire for watch-making knowledge. The Patek Philippe museum, toured with one of their expert tour guides, gives a terrific history of watch-making in general and Geneva’s role in particular. This Tuk Tuk tour will drop you off there, but doesn’t tour you inside it.
