Great short lake tour. Good for solo travelers. Wonderful views and plenty of opportunities for photos.
Departure from downtown and just a few minutes from the train station. This boat tour offers a magnificent view of the entire city on both sides of Lake Geneva. A few minutes after leaving the dock, one can admire the powerful water jet, which is the main emblem of Geneva. Mainly, this boat tour makes a circle to allow us to see and discover Geneva from several angles. One can see the city, the mountains, the Ferris wheel, and the bridge, among other things. In short, it is a beautiful overview that allows one to relax and enjoy our visit to this magnificent part of Switzerland even more. It costs 20 Swiss francs. Several restaurants, shops, and hotels are nearby the boarding dock.
Easy booking and online payment process. Friendly staff at boarding point and on-board. Great view of Geneva from the beauty of Lac Leman. Really enjoyable ride and got some great photos to take away as forever memories.
Well what can I say, for being jam packed on a small boat with about 50 other tourists it was an okay experience.
Poor. Not interesting for children. No activity on board. No guide. I strongly advise against it.
Merci pour votre retour. Dans le descriptif de la croisière il n'a pas eu d'activités promis. Nous ne comprenons donc pas votre deception. Pour l'audioguide il aurait suffit de lire le descriptif pour savoir qu'un audioguide sous forme d'APP peut être téléchargé sur votre téléphone. Salutations Martin
It is Monday, April 27th on the 11:25 am panoramic cruise. I would like to acknowledge the incredible service and kindness of the restaurant and bar staff. They made our cruise magical! The company can be proud of this team!
The boat ride said there was an audio tour. While the view was nice there was no audio tour. I wouldn’t have paid what I did had I know that there wasn’t any description of what we were seeing along the lake
On the Viator website and the practical information it is mentioned how to access the audioguide which is an APP that can be downloaded on the mobile phone. We regret that you didn't get the information .
The paddle steamer was amazingly restored and it was great to see Geneva from the lake. Unfortunately while there was a bar on the boat there were no drinks available and the audio wasn’t available so we never got to know anything about the city and the surroundings towns. Still a nice way to spend an hour
Thank you for your feedback. We regret that you didn't get the information in the descriptif of the cruise concerning the audioguide that you can download on your mobile phone (called CGN Tours) which would have allowed you to get explanation about the view. Regarding the drinks service this depends on the type of boat used. Due to the change of the catering company we had a few weeks without service. We apologize for this situation. According to the product description there is no food and drinks service.
This is quite an ordinary experience….it’s just for someone wanting to get on a boat… Nothing exciting whatsoever!

This was a sweet way to see Geneva. You have to download the app and bring headphones to listen to the audio guide but it was informative and a fun way to spend an hour, especially on a rainy day.
Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed the tour although the weather was not good.
