SWITZERLAND
Switzerland's most popular.
The 10 most popular cruises & boat tours. For each one: how the day runs, what it costs, and who you'll be booking with.
3-hour Geneva chocolate tour with Lake Geneva boat ride. Old Town sights, Jet d’Eau, and 12 award-winning tastings.
“Everything you wanted to know about chocolate and didn’t. Paul was an amazing and exceptional guide. Great subject matter expert, kept the tour interesting with facts and relevant questions. Highly recommend, ask for Paul!”
Gondola and cableway to Mt Pilatus, steep cogwheel descent, then a Lake Lucerne boat cruise from Lucerne.
“Really nice. Enjoyable, and beautiful. The rides were nice and the scenery was fantastic. The modes of transportation were interesting.”
Prebooked Lake Zurich cruise, a coach-and-old-town highlights loop, and Lindt chocolate tastings plus optional FIFA Museum add-on in one half-day.
“There was a short walking tour prior to us taking a boat to get to the Lindt museum. The tour was quick but informative and pointed key attractions in the city centre. Once you’re there you have the option of meeting back up with the guide after, or taking your own form of transportation back…”
Ride the Dragon Ride gondola to Mt. Pilatus, descend on the 48% cogwheel railway, then cruise Lake Lucerne from Zurich.
“This was an amazing trip. Our tour guide was Jean, and bus driver Victoria. They were amazing. We also lucked out with beautiful weather.”
A small-group Zurich day mixing old town walking, a Lake Zurich cruise, and a cable car or train up for big views and great stories.
“The tour was leaded by Greg and he’s a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable and professional. We all had a great time! Zurich is BEAUTIFUL!”
A small-group Lucerne walk plus an optional 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise, from Chapel Bridge to towers and city walls.
“It was informative, fun, and interesting! My brother and I enjoyed learning some of the history of this area. We also enjoyed the many meaningful sites our guide shared with us.”
Coach, tram, and optionally a Lake Geneva boat cruise: see Jet d’Eau, Flower Clock, UN HQ, and Old Town in 2–3 hours.
“Missed the tour due to poor meeting instructions. Was just given instructions to meet at a busy bus stop and it was not clear which bus to look for and/or no specific place to meet.”
A 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise from Pier 7 with audio commentary, Wi‑Fi, and great alpine views, plus an onboard bar for snacks.
“Very little information. I was hoping to get more information about the city and country. The information they have was not relevant. They also sailed very far from the coast so capturing photos was difficult. It’s just a short boat ride. Nothing more. I would not recommend this.”
Zurich to Mount Rigi, Lucerne, and Lake Lucerne by cable car, cogwheel train, and boat—mostly self-guided with flexible free time.
“Excellent tour, so much to see and it was a nice pace. Guides were very helpful and informative. Highly recommend to those not wanting to figure out how to see these areas on your own.”
Enjoy a 1-hour Lake Geneva solar cruise with wine, aperitif snacks, and landmark views like Jet d’Eau and the UN district.
“Christoph was very friendly and knowledgeable. We loved his sense of humor! It was a great little cruise around Lake Geneva.”
