We have taken many Viator tours and this one did not live up to the Viator standard. We drove around Geneva on large bus for about an hour and got very little information about the city. We did get to see the UN and take pictures out front. We then got on a small train that drove around old town w/commentary by the 'conductor'. This was pretty interesting but is available for anyone and I'm sure for a much cheaper fare. Overall, the tour was ok, but outrageous for the price of $110 p/person. We booked it because we thought the boat tour was included. It was 'optional', but there was no where to add when booking and we couldn't add while on the tour.

Good sightseeing, tram ride and boat tour. Our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. We had a great time.

Well worth it! Bus tour for an hour followed by tram tour of old town followed by boat cruise. Our experience lasted 3.5 hours. Very enjoyable. Included a nice snack and wine on the boat.

Though very friendly, our tour guide was not good. If she introduced herself, we did not hear her name. Her English was barely understandable, and the tour script was read robotically. We could not hear the tour description well despite the AV being turned up. For Viator, overall, instructions are sparse. How do we know which group is yours? Can you have a uniform or sign? It was unclear that the boat trip was later in the day, and not right after the coach tour. We had a nice day, but it could have been better.

Tour showed everything about Geneva. Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent and took care of us every step of the way.

This tour was very well organized and ran right on time. The bus tour gave a great overview of Geneva, my only negative for this whole tour is that on the second level of the bus, it was VERY difficult to hear the guide's words. He was very friendly and even allowed for a quick trip to pick up a cake to enjoy on the boat portion of the trip. The boat tour was relaxing g and comfortable.

Very mismanaged tour. First the bus did not arrive on time. The tour left 15 mins late and we waited 30 mins in front of Four Seasons to catch the old town trolley, which never arrived. The tour guide Berry was excellent and took ua to the boat tour instead. Would not recommend this tour.

A great walking and coach tour of this compact city. Viewed all the UN agencies headquarters here. Lots of great information.

This was a great way to see Geneva, especially if you only have an afternoon. I had recent foot surgery so was on crutches and a knee stroller. The tour guide ( Gabriel) was so incredibly helpful with loading my stroller onto and off the bus and tram and boat. He was very knowledgeable about the city and very pleasant. The tram was a nice way to get a flavor of the old town. The cruise was also great. Christov was kind and served us wine and cheese. It was a peaceful ride around the lake and to the fountain. I would highly suggest this tour.
