Geneva Lake Cruise Audio Guide: Jet d'Eau & UN HeadquartersAn audioguided sightseeing cruise on Lake Geneva that departs from Mont-Blanc pier and passes the Jet d'Eau, the Palais des Nations, and the residences of famous personalities. The "CGN Tours" audio guide—available in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian—downloads to your phone before boarding, and there is no Wi-Fi on the boat, so preparation is essential.Is it for me?Solo travelers and small groups will appreciate the flexibility of the audio guide—you listen at your own pace and don't have to follow a guide's schedule or group rhythm. The 50-minute duration works well if you want to see Geneva's major sights from the water without committing a full morning or afternoon.
