Why this experience
You'll settle into a private electric tuk-tuk for an evening journey that weaves together Geneva's most romantic moments: fondue and wine served onboard as you glide past the Jet d'Eau, a viewpoint stop in Cologny with panoramic lake vistas, and a quick atmospheric stroll through Geneva's Old Town—Place du Bourg-de-Four, St. Pierre Cathedral, the Arsenal, and Parc des Bastions. The tuk-tuk's intimate design means you're traveling slowly enough to absorb each view, but smoothly enough to sip wine while the city unfolds around you.
This itinerary works because it compresses Geneva's highlights into 90 minutes without the feeling of rushing. The fondue service—a 75cl bottle of Swiss wine and traditional cheese served onboard—makes your dinner part of the journey, not a separate stop. You're doing what Geneva does best: celebrating good food and conversation against a backdrop of history and water.
