Private Geneva TukTuk Tour: 5 Landmarks in 75 MinutesA private guided tour of Geneva's highlights aboard a small eTukTuk, covering Lake Geneva, Monument National, the Flower Clock, Jet d'Eau and Cathédrale Saint-Pierre in 75 minutes with a live guide in English or French. The tour operates with multiple daily departures and holds up to four passengers per vehicle, making it an efficient introduction for first-time visitors or those with limited time. Children under 10 need advance notice so the operator can arrange appropriate seating.Is it for me?Book the 1 TukTuk option if you're traveling solo or as a couple and want the full vehicle to yourself; choose 2 TukTuk if you're a larger group and want to split across two vehicles while staying together. The 75-minute duration works best if you're new to Geneva or have only an afternoon free—it covers the essential landmarks without eating a full day, and the eTukTuk pace means you're not walking between stops.
Private Geneva City Tour: Jet d'Eau, Flower Clock & Old TownA private guided tour of Geneva covers the Palais des Nations, the International District, Lake Geneva's shores, the Jet d'Eau fountain and the Flower Clock in the Old Town, with a guide in English, Spanish or French and transport by private vehicle. The tour runs two hours; you can add a one-hour lake cruise at checkout. Pickup is included.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a private pace through Geneva's main sights without coordinating separate transport — the guide, vehicle and timing are arranged, so you move through the Jet d'Eau, the Old Town and the International District as a single coherent day. Add the lake cruise if you want to extend into the afternoon and see the shoreline from the water.
Geneva Private City Tour: Old Town, Jet d'Eau & CarougeA private half-day tour of Geneva with a local guide and dedicated driver covers the Old Town, St. Pierre Cathedral, the Jet d'Eau, Carouge's bohemian quarter, and the Jardin Anglais with its Flower Clock. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the guide tailors the route to your interests. The tour runs 3 hours and operates in English or Spanish.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a guide who knows the neighborhoods and can adjust the stops to match your interests—the private vehicle and dedicated guide mean you set the pace instead of following a fixed group schedule, and you see both the famous landmarks and the quieter corners a local actually chooses.
Chamonix Tour: Aiguille du Midi & Mer de Glace Private TripA private guided tour from Geneva to Chamonix takes you by car through the French Alps to two signature moments: a cable car ascent to Aiguille du Midi, where a glass box called the Void suspends you over a 1,000-meter drop, and a rack railway descent to Mer de Glace glacier with entry to the ice cave. Your own driver handles the route; a live guide in English, French or German narrates the stops. The tour runs 10 hours total, including travel time. Lunch is available on some options; you choose at checkout whether to add it.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want both Alpine landmarks in one day without managing separate transport, tickets or timing—the private format means the guide paces the stops around your interests, and the driver eliminates the need to coordinate group departures or navigate mountain roads yourself. Children from age 5 are welcome; the tour is not suitable for travelers with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns, or pregnancy, and moderate fitness is needed for the cable car and glacier walk.
Geneva 5-Hour Private City Tour: Jet d'Eau & Old TownA private Geneva city tour with an English-speaking guide covers the Jet d'Eau, Reformation Wall, Old Town and Flower Clock in 5 hours, with air-conditioned transport and Swiss lunch at Café du Centre. Pickup is included; the route holds together without arranging stops or transport separately, so the morning stays intact for the rest of your day.Is it for me?Five hours is enough to see the main landmarks and eat without rushing, but it leaves the afternoon free for museums, shopping or the lake. If you need a full day in Geneva or want to linger in one neighborhood, a longer tour would suit you better; this one is built for travelers who want the essential Geneva in a half day.
Geneva Private Tour with Watchmaking or Knifemaking WorkshopA private guided tour of Geneva covering the International District, Old Town and iconic landmarks, followed by a hands-on workshop where you choose between assembling a Swiss watch or crafting a Swiss knife with expert artisans at Initium Genève in the Arsenal. Hotel pickup is included; the tour runs six hours and your guide speaks English, Spanish, French or Greek. You pick your workshop focus at checkout.Is it for me?Book the watchmaking option if you want to take home a functional timepiece and learn the precision behind Swiss horology; choose knifemaking if you prefer metalwork and design. Either way, the workshop turns the tour into something you make rather than just observe, and the private guide means the pace stays yours throughout the day.
