Take a tour of Geneva, and see the best of this cosmopolitan Swiss city by coach, tram and boat! With a knowledgeable guide on hand, you'll see exciting Geneva attractions including the city's Old Town, the Geneva Water Fountain and Lake Geneva on your three hour tour.
Departing from a convenient, central location, you'll enjoy a relaxing tour around Geneva's famous attractions by luxury coach. You'll see popular sites including the Geneva Fountain (Jet d'Eau), an impressive feature that jets water to an altitude of approximately 140 meters (459 feet), besides the equally intriguing Geneva Flower Clock (Horloge Fleurie). Have your camera poised to take photos of the stunning dial that hovers over circular flowerbeds in Geneva's English Garden.
Your Geneva City Tour will continue with a tramway tour through the city's narrow streets and alleyways. You'll learn about Geneva's rich history as you travel by unique tram, before taking a walking tour around Geneva's Old Town with your knowledgeable, local guide.
Before returning to central Geneva, your tour will end with a 1-hour cruise around Lake Geneva, often referred to as Europe's most spectacular lake. Sit back and relax while taking in views of Geneva's UN building, the Castle of Bellerive and the water fountain. Lake Geneva is framed by the beautiful, snow-capped Alps, so seeing simply the mountains themselves are a fantastic highlight in their own right.
had a good time. a good way to see the city wife thought it was a little long.

tour simple. indispensable? oui si breve visite à Genève!
Review by: Camelia, September 2017
This was the perfect tour to take if you have some time to spend in Geneva. The tour takes you to all the important places in Geneva and gives you a bit of everything from a train ride, some walking around and an astounding cruise. I would have preferred if our tour guides were a little bit more enthusiastic and kind, but over all, this was great!
Review by: Colin C, September 2017
This was a great tour. Enabled me to see everything I wanted to see in this beautiful city.
Review by: Christine B, September 2017
Very nice tour - especially the bus and small train through the old town. Boat trip was a bit of a let down as nothing really explained apart from a leaflet Great weather made the whole trip fun
Review by: Li F, September 2017
Great quick tour.
Review by: Richard M, September 2017
The program was great and it was a good way to see much of the city and learn about the history, at least a little bit of it. I would give it a higher rating but our guide was phoning it in. He just didn't seem very interested in us. Additionally, the group was too big, the tour was given in too many languages, and not enough bathroom breaks, but you get what you pay for. It was worth every penny.

Review by: Laurence L C, August 2017
Relaxing hour long float...great views and photo ops. Great way to see the city from a more relaxed room outside the center of commerce say Lausanne for instance.
Review by: lbs60flowers, August 2017
We had a great tour guide. My only complaint was that we were kept waiting by a group, from beginning causing us to depart 15 minutes late. They didn't return to the bus after stops. We finally left without them at one of the stops. The old town tram was wonderful. The boat ride very scenic on a warm, calm waters. A great day.
Review by: Sally A M, August 2017
This is a great way to see a lot of Geneva in a limited amount of time. The coach tour covered everything I wanted to see in the newer part of the city and the tram did the same for the old city. The cruise was a very relaxing end to the highlights. All in about 3 1/2 hours! The tour guide think her name was Maria was friendly and helpful and the bus location in the center of town was easy to find.
Review by: Cheruthon N, August 2017
They take you in a big bus and show you all the famous buildings such as United Nations and other buildings. The bus takes you to a park where they show you the garden. Then we take the toy train and this train is the best it takes you inside the old town and good way to see followed by boat ride
Review by: Fifi C, August 2017
Our morning city tour was cancelled because there was a celebration the night before and many of the streets around the lake was closed off. They offered us a choice for either a refund or an afternoon tour. We decided to take the afternoon tour. They also offered us to start with a boat tour first and then followed by a city tour which we ended up doing. Overall it's a good tour and the location is easy to find, very close to the main central bus station.
Review by: Mili P, August 2017
Good way to see Geneva if you are short of time. _br/_ There is a bit of waiting to get on to the train and boat as they are not available straight away
Review by: Mustafa B, August 2017
This was a great tour of Geneva City. seeing the United nations area and the parks was great. The Boat Cruise was brilliant! I would recommend this tour.
Review by: Osama E, August 2017
Firstly the starting point of the tour is in the center of Geneva and only a short walk form most central hotels in the city. Tour started on time. At the start the tour guide gave us a brief of what we were going to see and do. The tour bus is clean and the commentary of the tour guide was very good and gave us good description of what we saw. The train journey through the old city was fun. The conclusion of the tour with one hour boat tour in lake Geneva was excellent. All in all myself and my wife had excellent time during this 4 hours Geneva tour and later on we visited some of the places we saw during the tour. I highly recommend this tour to the visitors of the lovely city of Geneva.

This was a most interesting and enjoyable tour. An excellent introduction to the city and its lake.
Review by: mike.machin, August 2017
There was a problem with the coach which meant although most passengers were 15 minutes early we left 30 minutes late. The Guide was good but we had to make up time which meant the coach tour was rushed and we did not get much time to see what we had paid to see._br/_ We also had a group of girl guides from the Bahamas who were not interested in the tour but took up half the space.
Review by: Mark H, July 2017
Good way to understand a new city. Gives you a insight of what you want to explore further.
Review by: kazzaperfect, July 2017
A good tour to get an overbite of the beautiful city - nice introduction to the start of a few days in Geneva
Review by: Yves P, July 2017
Great tour for those with little time in Geneva. We took the morning tour, just 3 hours, but had a coach tour of the UN area, then the little train around old Geneva, and finally a short boat ride on Lake Geneva. Would highly recommend and good value
Review by: Lisa G, July 2017
This was a very good city tour. I liked the combination of a bus, then a small rail car and finished with the boat tour. Very good value for the price.
Review by: Theresa, June 2017
The day that we did this tour in July was a very hot 40 degree day but found the city of Geneva fascinating as major sites were pointed out to us. We were taken to vantage points for photo ops and a short boat ride on Lake Geneva gave us a great view of the city away from the shoreline.
Review by: Leah c, November 2016
Lovely trip. Friendly staff. We really enjoyed getting to see so many different places in one day. Very fun getting to jump from train to boat!
Review by: Donald C, October 2016
The city tour and boat cruise. The city tour is mostly by bus, you do transfer to a small tram because in some parts of town the roads are steep and narrow. The tour is very interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable. There is a about a 45 minute break between the bus and the boat, which did not seem very efficient because you dont have time to really do anything but stand around on the dock not much seating. However, the boat cruise was very enjoyable and informative.

just an awesome day
Review by: William S, September 2016
I was OK. A bit boring. Could have easily been reduced to 2 hours.
Review by: David H, September 2016
Thoroughly enjoyable tour
Review by: viator, September 2016
It was good tour. As the group was small and the guide had to repeat her talk in 2 languages. It ended with a boat tour. I was surprised that the boat did not take us near the fountain.
Review by: Otto L, September 2016
One gets coach tour of main international centers of Geneva that would be hard to find, then minitrain around commercial center, then refreshing boat tour. Guide's English was sometimes hard to understand.
Review by: John K, September 2016
Boat part of tour was very noisy. Could no hear at all what was said. Translation French/Englisl was very bad. Took too long, people talked during translation of other language. Guides stories too long. Need to have VOX earpiece reception of guides comments. Missed most of her comments due to noise. _br/_ Your not well organized.
Review by: Babul, August 2016
This trip also good and informative, saw many places in City and Cruise tour also good, The guide from key tours Patracia she explained in English and French. I felt the the tour price is higher side.
Review by: Bernard M, August 2016
Great package......
Review by: Carolj, August 2016
Through no fault of her own, our tour guide had a heavy accent and had lost her voice so we mostly could not hear or understand her and were unable to get the info we had hoped to get. The little train ride in old town was nice. The boat ride was pleasant but again the audio was poor so we could not hear well the info being given. I would suggest for the boat and bus portion to have the headphones where u can pick your language and hear the entire tour.
Review by: James O, August 2016
Saw all the important sites with a great guide._br/_ Loved taking the little train through the old city.
Review by: John F, August 2016
Okay. The guide spoke too quickly and with a heavy accent - hard to understand.
Review by: Cheryl H, August 2016
Basic tour of city. Boat tour not interesting to us--just a half hour down and back.
Review by: Carolyn D, August 2016
I was only in Geneva for a few days, so this tour was the first thing I did! It was great because afterwards I knew exactly the places I wanted to go back and explore more fully. And the best part was they let me flex the day of the boat tour part, so I did that on my last day in Geneva, which was a beautiful sunny day- so relaxing and beautiful! Thanks !

Good way to see everything quickly with a knowledgable guide.

Review by: Carolyn B, July 2016
Worth doing. Veryexpenvive compared to other tours I and #39;ve done(big bus tour in London ) Poor directions on exactly where to meet tour group. Guide was pleasant but her English was not good enough to offer a lot of background on each site. Overall I would do it again it helps to get an overview of the
Review by: Dave T, July 2016
An excellent introduction to Geneva. I especially liked the trolly tour of the old city. Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable. The rainy weather made the boat tour a bit less scenic, but still interesting and full of great views.
Review by: Casandra D, July 2016
Too much talking and swapping btwn english and French when we booked an English speaking tour!! No stops for refreshments - quite drainibg
Review by: ian f, June 2016
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Good way get an overview of Geneva in a short time period.
Review by: Narcisa C, June 2016
The tour was a compact and efficiently organized one.. Just a reminder though, guides should think of including in their tour toilet stops. You are touring not pure souls but human beings with physiological needs.
Review by: Christine W, June 2016
I spent 4 wonderful, relaxing days in Geneva. I enjoyed most seeing the old town where most of the attractions are within walking distance. The weather was cloudy, but two of the days were glorious. People were very friendly and helpful. Communicating was easy sine French is my native language, but most people speak some English. The atmosphere of the city is calm, peaceful and agreeable. This was a welcome relief from the chaos in Paris. I plan to go back because I have many more things to see.
