Superb discovery of Geneva in electric tuk tuk - A great experience with Welo. Everyone loved it: child, teenager and adult! Aubin has plenty of anecdotes to tell about the history of Geneva throughout the tour. The views of Geneva and the surrounding area are beautiful. Aubin was extremely welcoming and available. I highly recommend calling on Welo to discover Geneve.

Brilliant - The person that took us around was very informational and very friendly would highly recommend it, definitely would recommend to have the sides down on the Tuktuk in winter as it was a little chilly

Rediscovering my city with welo - I had the pleasure of rediscovering Geneva in a unique and memorable way, thanks to Welo and their incredible Tuk Tuk fondue experience. The ride through the city on the Tuk Tuk was not only entertaining but also very informative. Our driver, who was very friendly, showed us the hidden charms of Geneva I highly recommend it if you want to discover Geneva in a different way

Great high-level tour. - A good overview of Geneva attractions with a bit of history on the watch industry and beginnings. Our guide was personable and willing to tailor the tour to our liking. We would have liked for it to have gone a little more indepth on the watch industry, but over all enjoyed the tour. This tour was listed as 1-hour, but the guide thought it was 2-hour. Keep in mind for scheduling purposes.

The name is quite misleading as its not purely a watch tour - Dmitriy our driver cum guide was very kind and acxommodating. But this tour is not related to watches only which I expected

Watch Out. This Tour Needs More Material - 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.

Poor knowledge of watch knowledge, VERY basic tour - Driver didn’t provide any blankets or covering other than what you see in the picture. So make sure you are dressed for the conditions as there are no sides so cold in the wind in the winter. But was expecting a lot more history and overall knowledge of watch making. He only had 8 things to talk about, 5 of which were clocks around the area. Defiantly not worth the cost imo for 4 people. Buy yourself a Tissot watch and just take a walk around and you will be happier.
