What are people saying about Geneva

A Breathtaking Day at the Top of the World
This was literally a breathtaking trip to the top of the world. My mother and I joined a group of wonderful fellow travelers, and together we shared lasting memories — and a few scary, daunting moments high above Chamonix. Our guide Niels went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. The day began with a scenic bus ride to Chamonix, with excellent driving by our driver Norman. Throughout every part of the tour, Niels kept us entertained with informative, enthusiastic commentary, sprinkled with jokes and plenty of fun back-and-forth banter with Norman, our driver. Chamonix itself is a beautiful mountain town full of shops and restaurants. The food was top notch, from simple pastries and coffee to lunch. Then came the ascent to the Aiguille du Midi, the adventure of a lifetime for my mom and me. The first stop at the midway station, Plan de l'Aiguille (about 2,300 m / 7,600 ft), let us acclimate while taking in gorgeous views of the French Alps, ominous and snow-dusted in their majesty. The second cable car took us to the summit at 3,842 m (12,605 ft). The clouds and mist rolled in and limited the views of the steep drops and surrounding peaks, but it was still a heart-pounding, adrenaline-filled experience. For anyone who's never felt high altitude: imagine a swimmy, dreamy delirium, like rocking on a boat with a wine buzz! We braved every viewing platform, and honestly, I was grateful the mist hid some of those sheer drops. We even stepped into "Step into the Void," the glass box perched at 3,842 meters (12,605 feet) above sea level and suspended over a sheer drop of more than 1,000 meters (about 3,400 feet). My heart was pounding — it beats any rollercoaster by far. The descent offered more stunning views of the craggy, majestic peaks, with another stop at the midway point for postcard-ready photos before returning to Chamonix for lunch. In the afternoon, we rode the little red cogwheel train up to Montenvers to see the Mer de Glace, France's largest glacier. It was beautiful the whole way. Seeing how much the glacier has receded was a real moment of reflection on climate change, but there was still so much beauty all around us. We walked past the historic Grand Hôtel du Montenvers, built in 1880 to host the first mountaineers and lovingly restored in 2017, then up to another gorgeous vista of granite peaks and a colorful forest tapestry in its October glory. I took a quiet moment of solitude there and wished it could have lasted longer — the views brought me to tears. I can't emphasize enough how amazing this tour was. Every part of the day came together perfectly. I would absolutely go again. Highly, highly recommend!

Tasty chocolate and enjoyable company
My wife and I ended up being the only ones in the tour, and Isabelle was a lovely guide. Her English was excellent and she was lighthearted throughout the tour. I enjoyed all of the places we visited for various chocolate treats. I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who is ok with walking 1-2 kilometers over the course of several hours.

Great way to spend an hour + in Geneva!
Excellent leisurely tour on the lake in Geneva. Captain was so kind and attentive, let me daughter drive the boat which she loved. Snacks and drinks were great and also got some great views and information on the city from the water. Highly, highly recommend this!

Fun and Food
Francois was an outstanding tour guide. He has excellent knowledge of the culinary culture in Switzerland and we had a lot of fun as well! He also shared a lot of info on the history of Zurich which gave us a great background to the city. We highly recommend him on your next visit to Zurich!
