Great way to see Geneva in a day - Tour was interesting and showed all the highlights. We did the bus and then tram and added the lake cruise. The lake cruise was a peaceful 1 hr on the lake. Dad has limited walking so the 3 block walk from the bus to tram was difficult. Guide was able to have the driver drop us at the dock for the lake cruise. We chose these tours as unable to walk distances

Fantastic & Informative Tour With Great Tour Guide - Excellent tour to include both tour bus journey and walking with excellent commentary. Our tour guide Gabriel was fabulous. He was polite, friendly and approachable, has extensive knowledge on Geneva and was able to answer all questions. The tour gave us a great insight to the city and we saw and learnt so much about both the old and the new town. Highly recommend

Great way to see the city! - This tour was a great way to see the City of Geneva. Gabriel was so knowledgeable and you could tell he loved this city!! He shared all the history even the little known facts. The sights came alive under his commentary. He kept a good walking pace for the entire group. Highly recommend asking for Gabriel when you take this a tour!! I recommend going on. Sunday as the city is less crowded.

Bus tour - I Booked this tour to know about the city but It was just average at best. If you have nothing else to do and just wanna do a scenic trip of the city it's a decent option but if you don't do it you're not missing much.

MISLEADING AND NOT GOOD FOR DISABLED CUSTOMERS - We were informed ita 2 hour city tour, with mini train trip at the end, instead we were given a 90 minute tour, and the last bit of the tour, we had to walk in the old town, and we were told the mini train only operates in summer. THIS WAS NOT SPECIFIED WHEN BOOKING. IF ID OF KNOW THERE WAS WALKING INVOLVED, I would not of gone on this tour, I’m an amputee. Very poor and disappointing. The guide did his best but in the end when he said walking was involved, we got off and had to get an Uber back to hotel, as our coach was on another journey.
