Very mismanaged tour. First the bus did not arrive on time. The tour left 15 mins late and we waited 30 mins in front of Four Seasons to catch the old town trolley, which never arrived. The tour guide Berry was excellent and took ua to the boat tour instead. Would not recommend this tour.
A thorough tour of this interesting city

This was a great way to see Geneva, especially if you only have an afternoon. I had recent foot surgery so was on crutches and a knee stroller. The tour guide ( Gabriel) was so incredibly helpful with loading my stroller onto and off the bus and tram and boat. He was very knowledgeable about the city and very pleasant. The tram was a nice way to get a flavor of the old town. The cruise was also great. Christov was kind and served us wine and cheese. It was a peaceful ride around the lake and to the fountain. I would highly suggest this tour.
