The bar service on the boat was very good. For a tour boat I had expected some guide description but there was not. There were Very few seats on the outside upper deck so we had to stay inside.

Sat in the bar with fantastic views. Service was excellent and friendly. Happy to try my French but the staff spoke beautifully back to me in English! The heat was amazing so welcomed the breeze on the boat. Next time I'll probably do the day trip further down the lake, but this suited us right before dinner in the old town.

It was so easy for a wheelchair user to get on and off the boat. The crew was very kind. It was fantastic 50 mins cruise trip.

We arrived late and there were only a few places left. We chose to sit on the aft deck and it's true that it was a quiet corner if unfortunately it wasn't infested with midges! Too bad, for us, otherwise better places on the boat I think... on the other hand difficulties to find the pier, not very precise on your plan. Finally, the staff were very pleasant and attentive.

A pleasant 55-minute boat trip. Next time, we'll take a longer route to enjoy it for longer!

Your Experience

When you've explored Geneva enough on land, it's time to hit the waters and drink in views of the city from a new perspective. Your cruise begins from the Pierres du Niton, where you will cruise towards the Pointe à la Bise. Gaze out at Geneva’s famous Jet d’Eau here, an iconic fountain the city is known for! You'll also get views of the Mont-Blanc Mountains, the surrounding Alps, and world-renowned landmarks like the United Nations office. You'll find elegantly manicured gardens lining the lake shores, and stunning flora and fauna enveloping you! This scenic sightseeing cruise promises an idyllic setting, and is an absolute must for first-timers in Geneva!

You may download an app with relevant information about the cruise at the cashier's desk (a free WiFi zone) for additional context during the cruise!
