A good way to get to know the city, we were fortunate with the weather being sunny. The cathedral was closed for a private wedding so we did not get the opportunity to go inside. Good commentary.

This gives you a good overview of the city of Geneva on land and on the lake.

Boat tour offers excellent view of the lake, but tour guide sounds like reciting from a book. :o(

This tour ruined for me by rude people who talked whilst guide was speaking in other than their own language and a man who conducted his business, loudly, on a mobile phone for the duration. Mobile usage should be banned from tours! Guide knew her stuff and some interesting information. One had to follow the pamphlet for the boat tour however, automated vocal announcements in a number of different languages, not all applicable to our Group - this segment disappointing. Glimpse of the old city was great.

Good trip, but not outstanding. Informative and worth doing. Great view of the fountain! Good tour guide.

Very nice day , enjoyed the bus tour. Our guide provided a lot of interesting information about Geneva. Our small train ride through old town Geneva was very overcrowded and not all that interesting. the boat ride was super enjoyable!

The mini-train/tram tour was very uncomfortable. I was afraid that the bumpy ride would injure my back!

The cruise and train was good. The bus was a waste of time. It didn't stop or slow down for photos and you did not get off the bus once. You can book the small train and cruise when you get there yourself for much less than half the cost of this tour as these are run by other providers and the guide just buys your ticket at the public cruise counter and then leaves you at the jetty, you don,t see her again. I could have done this myself and saved heaps.

Excursion wasn't so interesting as we expected. Also guide's english was pretty bad :(

Boat cruise around the lake was nice, but I recommend you to take a little break for lunch or something after bus tour and then go by yourself at boat cruise. Because you can choose any departure time you want.

The bus tour showed us relevant sights of Geneva which we would not have seen otherwise. The noise of the boat tended to overpower the commentary making it hard to understand.

The guide on the city tour tried to give us info in three languages and did not wait until the party was assembled before giving us details of the sites during the walking part of the tour . you should also be aware that a fair bit of walking is involved although this is not obvious from the tour description. The boat cruise was much the most successful of the tour

I felt this tour was lacking. As we rode around the city, the tour guide drove rather qulckly and casued for some missed photo opportunities. The cruise was boring and lacked historical information. We took this tour two days prior to President Obama being named the Nobel Prize winner and no mention was made that he was even nominated. However, it was noted the former Vice President Gore was nominated in the past but that was it. The tour guide lacked personality and it hendered the tour.

The boat cruise was nice - city cruise not worth it.

The city tour was pretty quick, so I would suggest doing this when you first arrive and then you can explore in more detail the parts of the city you want. The lake ride was very nice, but we couldn't hear the speakers and found it a little difficult to follow the brochure to know what we were seeing. But it was still a great afternoon excursion.
