Half Day Stop in Geneva - Train journey thru Geneva roads and the boat cruise were memorable . Don’t miss out the boat cruise for anything . The Geneva fountain is to be seen and experienced from near. The boat powered by a 1914 Suzler engine was so nostalgic! I

Terrific!! - We liked all three of the sections - the bus, mini-train and the boat. The bus covered so much of the city; the mini-train gave us a more intimate view and, the boat gave us a wonderful view of the city from a different perspective. The wine, cheese, crackers and chicken pate on the boat was great and just what we needed!!

BEST of Geneva Tour - This was truly the BEST of Geneva tour. You saw the city and lake from 3 different modes of transportation: by bus, tram and boat. We also heard about the many wonderful things that have made Geneva what it is today. As noted in other reviews, Gabriel was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and accommodating tour guide. I highly recommend this tour for those who want an opportunity to know the best of the best of the city in a varied and comfortable manner.

My recommendation - skip the cruise. - The bus part of the tour was ok and our guide Gabriel seemed fairly knowledgeable. The mini train was a useful method to get round the old town and the commentary was good. However, the boat cruise was very disappointing. There was no commentary as to what could be seen from the boat and the welcome from the captain gave an accurate description of the cruise - something similar to " we're going for half an hour up there and half an hour back."

Sad - This was disorganized and not up to Viator standards. The guide was nice but the information provided was unclear. The restroom facilities at the office meeting point was disgusting with crap all over the toilet. Do no waste you time.
