Gabrielle was a brilliant tour guide & helped provide me with information about the city e.g. where to go to collect my half marathon bib. The tour was very good & i preferred this boat cruise to the separate one i bought. This has a smaller boat & i loved it but that was during a sunny day, a wet day would be difficult to enjoy. Everyone learned a useful amount about Geneva, all the important stuff.Kelly_S

I enjoyed the bus tour but the coolest part was the little train through old town. I could not have walked it so the little train allowed me to go places I wouldn’t have seen. The boat took us right next to the jet d’eau. We couldn’t have gotten closer.

Gabriel and Emilie were wonderful. The bus tour was great - we felt a little disconnected when we joined the boat tour as we were sent to a different boat than the others who were going on the boat portion of the tour. Overall a good afternoon!

The tour was informative and very interesting my son loved the train and I liked the private cruise on Lake Geneva. The cruise was quite intimate and we were given snacks and apple juice, water also offered wine too.

I'm very upset; my wife and I were at the Geneva bus station at 1:40 PM waiting for the 2:15 bus. The bus never showed up. I asked multiple times of the people in the bus station and other bus drivers whether I was in the right place at the Geneva bus station and they told me I was. I called the 800 number and was put on hold for quite some time and then the gentleman got back on the line saying that the bus driver would call me since she said that we were not there. This is completely BS! I absolutely intend to call TripAdvisor and give a terrible review for the amount of money we paid and for how long I had pre-planned this city and Lake Geneva boat tour for the driver not to show up. It's just amazing! Of course the bus driver never called me at all and luckily my wife and I were able to hop on a city tour which was only two hours but at least it was something since this is our only day in Geneva. I have already booked a tour in Zürich on the last day in Switzerland which is October 6 and I certainly hope that this does not happen there. Again I am totally disgusted and I don't understand how the bus driver could say that she was there when we were there the entire time and saw many buses come in and out and we actually went up to each and every bus to ask it was the Viator bus and of course it was not. I would absolutely like to talk to someone. You have been emailing me and texting me almost every day since I booked a trip to remind me that I was going to go on the trip at 2:15 ,yet you did not have the decency or courtesy to email or text me saying there was some problem with the bus arriving on time!
