Good tour of Geneva covered in the toy train and then the cruise. The guide was ok and gave some info as we passed by the UN buildings. The toy train has an audio running, so that worked out well in terms of explaining all the sights we were passing by. The cruise was the best part of the tour - it is leisurely and it was a sunny day, so the fountain and scenery was amazing. The boat driver was so nice that he allowed our kid and another one to "drive" the boat for a few minutes each. It made their day and the kids were so excited about the experience. He also gave us cheese and biscuits, so the one hour passed by very quickly.

I liked it all the double decker bus 1st then the little train up into the old town. A walk to where the cruise starts and then the cruise (if you choose to do ). I really enjoyed the cruise with some nibbles and a wine or apple juice.
