Train journey thru Geneva roads and the boat cruise were memorable . Don’t miss out the boat cruise for anything . The Geneva fountain is to be seen and experienced from near. The boat powered by a 1914 Suzler engine was so nostalgic! I

Amazing!

We liked all three of the sections - the bus, mini-train and the boat. The bus covered so much of the city; the mini-train gave us a more intimate view and, the boat gave us a wonderful view of the city from a different perspective. The wine, cheese, crackers and chicken pate on the boat was great and just what we needed!!
