“Unfortunately I cannot recommend this tour, what an absolute nightmare! Firstly, this is the first tour in over 10 years of using Viator all over the world, where I did not receive any contact from the tour operator prior to the tour. Usually I receive a call or WhatsApp message with name and number of the tour guide and photos of meeting point - for this I received nothing. I turned up to the Geneva Bus Station as per the meeting point, with endless coaches and no sign or instructions what bus to hop on or who I was looking for. After asking several people, I finally was told to…”

“This was a great way to see Geneva, especially if you only have an afternoon. I had recent foot surgery so was on crutches and a knee stroller. The tour guide ( Gabriel) was so incredibly helpful with loading my stroller onto and off the bus and tram and boat. He was very knowledgeable about the city and very pleasant. The tram was a nice way to get a flavor of the old town. The cruise was also great. Christov was kind and served us wine and cheese. It was a peaceful ride around the lake and to the fountain. I would highly suggest this tour.”

“Gabriel was our guide. He was very warm and friendly.

It rained the day of our tour, but it was still a good tour. We rode the tour bus for an hour and transferred to the tram for the second hour that had encased plexiglass so we wouldn't get wet. The tram tour was multilingual so it was easy to understand where you were and what you were seeing. Gabriel met us back at the end to answer…”
