Positive family experience on the water - This trip was in a boat that could accommodate approximately 120 people...there were approximately 100 on our trip and it was not crowded at all. The air conditioning on the main level interior worked fabulously on a hot summer day! Views of the city and surrounding areas were spectacular from the water.

Smooth Geneva Cruise - The cruise was simple and comfortable to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lake of Geneva. We also appreciated the air-conditioned indoor space especially in such a heat wave weather. Could not find instructions of how to hear the audio guide until the end of the cruise, so it would be helpful to include that in the pre-board information.

The scenery and cruise itelg eas fine but we did not get any commentary. - The scenery was great but we did not receive an english commentary so it was quite pointless. I'm still not sure if if was ment to be on the cruise or a link etc was meant to be sent so we could download it. The majority of the passengers were not listening to a commentary from what I observed.

Beautiful Cruise around the lake, but disappointed couldn’t get audio guide to work. - The cruise around the lake was beautiful and relaxing, but if you are wanting an audio guide, you will be disappointed. I was told you had to download the app and use your own phone, but getting it to work or finding any directions on how to use the audio guide was an issue.

Felt like a Ferry ride!! - There was no audio guide!!. It felt like a ferry ride with a bar. The staff was courteous but did not speak English. No interaction attempts from the staff. The main cabin was air conditioned and comfortable.

No Confirmation Email - Booked a boat trip in the morning for an afternoon departure, said I would receive a confirmation email in an hour but it never arrived. An hour before departure I messaged the help centre which was pointless because it takes 24-48 hours to get a reply. So paid for a boat trip but never got to go on it because I didn't have any confirmation. Very annoyed.
