good tour to discover the whole city

arriving in Geneva by train the station is not far from the departure Very good tour of the city exterior and center The boat trip is pleasant but not very interesting

Not up to standards expected.

Tour was 1 hour 20 minutes not 2 hours. Tour was in 4 languages not just English. First half ( on the bus) was very rushed. It was a local holiday with reduced traffic. Bus did not have time to slow down for pictures of the United Nations / International buildings. Guide was always rushed to meet up with train. Train ride thru old Geneva was marginal with engine cutting in and out. Needs new batteries. Tour was not well planned and not as advertised. Fortunately, we did not sign up for the additional boat ride.

Very rushed. Tour lasted one hour 20 min Would have been nice to separate tour by language spoken. Disjointed to have 3 languages

Great architecture, rich history, diverse culture. We really enjoyed the tram ride and the boat cruise was very enjoyable and relaxing.
