What people are saying about Lake Geneva

Overall rating

5.0 / 5

based on 2 reviews

Cute little loop around the Geneva side of the lake with plenty of space for everyone. Lots of indoor seating with plenty of windows if you don’t like it breezy. Easy to move around from side to side for different views. You do get close to the fountain as well. My trip was about 50 mins so not sure why other reviews are saying it was shorter.

Excelente experience, despite the rain. The tour is very informative and it stops at main attractions for 5 mins for photos which keeps everyone on time. Great trip and I would recommend.

Nice cruise. Could have used more direction and information prior. Make sure to read everything about the apps and where to go. Get there early if you want a prime seat.

Boarding was easy and efficient. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Cruise is very scenic and relaxing.

Great boat ride and the restaurant on board was major and the food was realy good
