Perfect Intro to Geneva

Great overview of Geneva with just enough info. The bus tour to international section was good and the stop at the broken chair and UN were just enough. When the bus dropped us off and we walked over the bridge, the showers began but we joined the petit train which helped stay dry and drove us all through the old town with good commentary. It would have been nice if the bus was allowed to stop by the flower clock for photos but it did not and the Jet d’eau was closed for maintenance but no fault of the tour company.

Operator response

Dear guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the overview of Geneva and that the Petit Train helped you explore the old town despite the rain. Regarding the Flower Clock, we are happy to stop there whenever it’s possible, depending on bus parking availability. As you mentioned, the Jet d’eau closure was due to maintenance, which was unfortunately beyond our control. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Kind regards
