To start with the cost of the entire tour was really reasonable. The tour started at around 2:00 in the afternoon allowing us enough time to have a good lunch. We explored the entire city by bus. The entire journey was comfortable and the guide was also really helpful. The great thing about it was that even though it was a bus, it offered a more personalized experience. For the limited time we had, we were able to capture a lot of great tourist spots and finally a walk around the c Annecy town was really amazing. Towards the end we got on a cruise and enjoyed some really scenic views. Just the kind of relaxation I was looking for. I definitely recommend it. You can also enjoy a number of delicious local cuisine at Annecy and learn a lot of their local culture from the friendly localities. Thank you Thrillophilia.

The tour around the city was really amazing. The bus was on time and the guides handled the entire tour really professionally. They stopped at various major tourist attractions and Me along with my family got to click a ton of photos. I just wish that the halt time at the Annecy town could have been a little more. The bus dropped us off at the right spot and even gave us a happy farewell.

Geneva Top Attractions

Lake Geneva

One of the largest lakes in Western Europe, Lake Geneva is shared between Switzerland and France. Located on the north side of the Alps, the natural beauty of the lake and its surrounding area, make it a popular tourist attraction.

The Geneva Water Fountain (Jet d'Eau)

Geneva’s most treasured tourist spot is the Geneva Water Fountain, better known as the Jet d’Eau, one of the tallest fountains in the world. The Geneva Water Fountain was not originally designed to be a tourist attraction, though. Its creation as a hydraulic plant during the 19th century was to meet the city’s rapidly growing water requirements.

St. Pierre Cathedral

Dating back to the 12th century, The Cathedral of Saint Pierre is perched atop the hill on which Old Town sits. This Romanesque-style cathedral was built over a span of 100 years and has gone through several renovations since then. Its present Neoclassical architecture is inspired by the 18th century. Besides the rich history that the church has seen, it also affords a stunning panoramic view of the city’s sprawl, including the massive Jet d’Eau.

Palais Des Nations

Also known as the Palace of Nations, Palais des Nations Geneva is the current home of the United Nations Office. Coated with grey heat resistant titanium, the modern architecture is set against the mesmerising backdrop of snow capped mountains.

L'horloge Fleurie (The Flower Clock)

Home to over 6,500 flowers and plants, the Flower Clock, better known as L’horloge Fleurie, features the world’s longest second hand, which measures 2.5 meters in length! Built in 1955, this giant clock is redecorated multiple times a year to represent each season.

Reformation Wall

Facing the famous Parc des Bastions, the Reformation Wall is an international monument erected in the memory of the people and events of the Protestant Reformation in Geneva.

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

One of the most visited tourist places in Geneva, the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent offers you a rare insight into the history of “The Humanitarian Adventure”.
