Great tour of international highlights of Geneva and Old Town! - Our tour guide Gabriel was knowledgeable, approachable, and upbeat! Despite the rain, our guide kept the tour lively and we had a great time! Learned way more about the city of Geneva than I expected to, specifically about the history of the international organizations based thete. Would highly recommend!!

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

Good overview of the city - Good overview of the city. The first part is by bus and the international district. It was interesting bit mostly looking at business buildings. The second half of the Old Towne was much more interesting and enjoyable.

Take a trip round the old town and lake - A tour of two halves. We preferred the second half, the train tour of the old town. The first half was ok and Gabrielle, the guide is a nice man, but he needs to appreciate he doesn’t need to talk constantly. Literally, he spent the first 10 minutes talking about the train station. Not its history but just what it does! He waffles on sometimes about nothing, when silence would be better.

Meh - An underwhelming tour of two parts. The first is a drive by a few international organizations, including the UN. The second is a team ride through old town. The second part was nice but the first, unless you are a big UN fan, can be skipped. Guide is pleasant but.information provided was superficial. Not bad all in all.

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.

Geneva Key tours ( not punctual) - This was the worst trip in timeliness( so much for Swiss punctuality) we reported 45 mins before the bus showed up as requested
The ladies in the office was so rude and disrespectful and insulted my county and asked “are things perfect in you country” with racist undertones
Think twice before booking
PS| the guide and driver were friendly after the LATE start

Viator booking 1535166009 - I feel the need to review the tour described below. This was a 2 hour bus tour. As we departed the lot the guide announced it would be a walking tour because the driver had to get to the airport. He knew about this but alllowed us to board the bus anyway. I am sure we would have cancelled as I am scheduled for knee surgery and wanted a bus tour. 45 minutes into the tour the bus stopped and made us deboard and start the walking portion. While our guide was knowledgeable, he hurried and only those surrounding him could hear him or see him for that matter. He then when off script again and had to walk part of our group to the doc to catch a boat making the walk even farther.
