Ok. Not great.

2.00Though very friendly, our tour guide was not good. If she introduced herself, we did not hear her name. Her English was barely understandable, and the tour script was read robotically. We could not hear the tour description well despite the AV being turned up. For Viator, overall, instructions are sparse. How do we know which group is yours? Can you have a uniform or sign? It was unclear that the boat trip was later in the day, and not right after the coach tour. We had a nice day, but it could have been better.
Fantastic tour of Geneva

1.00Missed the tour due to poor meeting instructions. Was just given instructions to meet at a busy bus stop and it was not clear which bus to look for and/or no specific place to meet.
Very friendly guide

5.00This tour was very well organized and ran right on time. The bus tour gave a great overview of Geneva, my only negative for this whole tour is that on the second level of the bus, it was VERY difficult to hear the guide's words. He was very friendly and even allowed for a quick trip to pick up a cake to enjoy on the boat portion of the trip. The boat tour was relaxing g and comfortable.
Mismanaged tour

2.00Very 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.
