Boat trip on the lake at Geneva - Great experience but the audio never happened. Apparently you have to download before getting on the boat. I never received any instructions to my knowledge about this. The trip was great but we had no idea what we were looking at.

Relaxing hour on Lake Geneva - Very relaxing hour on Lake Geneva. It was £19 each, but if you have a Geneva Pass then it would be free. It was easy to book at ticket at the Mont Blanc pier. We went on one of the hottest days of the year and inside was a lovely temperature. It was a very smooth ride and very relaxing. We were sort of expecting some sort of audio guide, but there wasn't anything on our trip.

I enjoyed how easy it was... - I enjoyed how easy it was to make a booking. The overall boat tour is also stunning. Couple of things that could have made it better, when you copy & paste the address to go to, it takes you to a pharmacy about 600 meters from the meeting point. I then figured out that you need to click directly on Go To Google Maps, thankfully I made just in time. Another thing, I would have liked it, if it was more clear than I need to take a headset to listen to the audio.

Expensive boat trip! - Very tourist UNfriendly. No information given, no instruction,, no headphones. Very hot and no aircon or air circulation. For a guided tour, there was no ‘guiding’ Difficult car parking, not enough seats.

Audio difficult to connect to. - Too many steps and questions to connect to audio. Spoilt the trip and what else is there to say. Ridiculous to have a minimum characters to review

There is no audio guide... - There is no audio guide or any information about an audio guide anywhere. I had to read other reviews which mention downloading an app. I didn’t bother downloading the app as I’m not even sure what app I was supposed to be downloading! The trip around the lake was nice enough but only lasted just over 45 minutes. So I paid for an hour long audio guided boat trip and in fact got neither!

The cruise is not having fun - Not recommended!!!! 19 Swiss francs for an adult for a one-hour walk around the lake without any comment. The boat sails in the middle of the lake and does not even allow to observe the "buildings". As a comment you must download an app (before) boarding (in shared wifi only at the landing) otherwise you pay the operator fees outside the EU. In the end, it's a pointless activity. Instead, I invite you to move towards renting a pedalo or an electric boat.
