8.Audioguided sightseeing cruise of Geneva

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 144 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $25

See Geneva from Lake Geneva on a one-hour CGN cruise, with views of the Jet d’Eau, United Nations, lakeside villas, and an optional phone audio guide.

“There is no audio guide or any information about an audio guide anywhere. I had to read other reviews which mention downloading an app. I didn’t bother downloading the app as I’m not even sure what app I was supposed to be downloading! The trip around the lake was nice enough but only lasted just over 45 minutes. So I paid for an hour long audio guided boat trip and in fact got neither!”

“What a great way to see and learn about Geneva on Julien’s “patio boat!”. We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the city, the fountain and the buildings along the lake! Julien shared with us not just the history of every building along Lake Geneva, but also many aspects of Swiss life. This boat trip really filled in our understanding of Swiss culture and economy and of Geneva’s special place in its history! Besides, we enjoyed Julien’s wine and excellent snacks!”
