Geneva City Tour with Private Guide & Optional Lake CruiseA private guided tour of Geneva lasting two hours, covering the international district around the Palais des Nations, the old town with St. Peter's Cathedral, and the lakeside parks and fountains — with hotel pickup included and an optional boat cruise on Lake Geneva available in summer. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or French and travels with you by private vehicle, so the route and timing stay fixed while you move between stops.Is it for me?Choose the tour-only option if you want to see Geneva's main sights without committing to the boat, or pick the tour with cruise if you're visiting in summer and want to see the city and Alps from the water. The two-hour pace works for a morning or afternoon slot in a longer Geneva stay, leaving time for lunch or museums before or after.
Geneva Old Town Private Tour with Lake Geneva CruiseA private walking tour of Geneva's Old Town with a licensed guide, followed by pre-booked tickets for a 50-minute round-trip boat cruise on Lake Geneva. The guide leads you through the narrow streets to St Pierre Cathedral, Temple de la Madeleine, the Flower Clock and Quai du Mont-Blanc, then hands you tickets and an audio guide at the pier; you explore the lake, the Jet d'eau and the Palais des Nations by boat while the guide steps back. Available in English, French or German.Is it for me?The walking portion is a steady pace through narrow Old Town streets, and the boat cruise is self-guided once you board—if you want a guide's commentary throughout the entire day, this tour splits that role between the walk and the audio guide on the water.
Lake Geneva: Private Boat Sunset & Fondue DinnerYou board a private boat with a professional skipper who adjusts the route to your group's preferences. Depending on your choice, you get a daytime cruise with optional swimming stops, a sunset aperitif, or a Swiss fondue dinner on the water with views of Mont Blanc and Geneva's shoreline. The boat stays small and intimate, and you return when your group is ready.Is it for me?Choose this if you want a private boat on Lake Geneva without arranging your own vessel or planning every stop — the skipper handles the navigation and timing, leaving your group free to decide whether to swim, watch the sunset, or linger over fondue.

Geneva City Tour with Optional Lake CruiseA guided city tour of Geneva by coach and foot (or mini-train, depending on weather) that covers the UN headquarters, the Broken Chair sculpture, the Flower Clock, and the Jet d'Eau fountain, with an optional boat cruise on Lake Geneva. The tour runs year-round; the mini-train operates only when weather permits, and the cruise option is available April through October. A live guide in English or French leads the group through the international district and the Old Town's original market square, arsenal, and cathedral.Is it for me?Book the city tour alone if you're visiting in winter or want a focused afternoon in Geneva's Old Town and international quarter. Add the cruise if you're traveling April through October and want to see the Jet d'Eau from the water — it changes the angle and adds a full lake crossing to your day.
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.
Half day and longer (2)
Geneva & Annecy: Alpine Town & Lake Cruise OptionYou board a coach in Geneva, cross into Annecy for a guided walk through the medieval Old Town with two free hours by the lake, then return for a two-hour Geneva tour covering the UN district, Flower Clock, and Old Town by mini train or foot. An optional one-hour Lake Geneva cruise follows if you choose it and travel between April and October. Hotel pickup is not mentioned, so confirm your meeting point when you book.Is it for me?Book this if you want both Annecy and Geneva in one day without arranging your own transport or timing between towns—the fixed itinerary and coach handle the logistics, leaving you free to absorb the medieval streets and international landmarks without planning the route.
Lavaux Wine Tour: Vineyard Walk, Tastings & Boat CruiseA full-day wine tour from Geneva through Lavaux's UNESCO-listed vineyards, led by a guide in English, Spanish, French or Turkish. You visit two wineries—one organic, one traditional—walk the terraced slopes of Saint-Saphorin, enjoy a three-course lunch with Alps views, and return by Belle-Époque boat cruise from Vevey to Lausanne. Hotel pickup in Geneva is included; children from age 1 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to taste wines at two different producers and walk the actual terraced vineyards where they grow—the combination of cellar, slope and boat gives you the full landscape of Lavaux in one day. Children from age 1 can join, though the 10-hour length and vineyard walks suit families with older kids or adults better than toddlers.
