Geneva City Tour

Gabriel did a wonderful job narrating this tour. We learned so much and got to see many interesting sights.

Very simple but...

Very simple but informative tour focusing on the UN and Old Town areas of Geneva. Gabriel was very enthusiastic and helpful. Great option if you are limited on time.

Expensive for what it is

The guide was very lovely and knowledgeable and thorough but I was disappointed with the tour for the price it was.

Perfect Intro to Geneva

Great overview of Geneva with just enough info. The bus tour to international section was good and the stop at the broken chair and UN were just enough. When the bus dropped us off and we walked over the bridge, the showers began but we joined the petit train which helped stay dry and drove us all through the old town with good commentary. It would have been nice if the bus was allowed to stop by the flower clock for photos but it did not and the Jet d’eau was closed for maintenance but no fault of the tour company.
