Geneva Tour

Itinerary

Morning: Begin with a guided Geneva Old Town tour, where narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and historic landmarks reveal the city’s past. Your Switzerland tour guide provides context that brings the stories to life, rather than overwhelming with dates.

Afternoon: Lunch is served in true Geneva style – fondue enjoyed aboard a charming tuk-tuk, winding through the city streets. Afterwards, enjoy time for boutique shopping or a gentle stroll along the lakefront.

Evening: A relaxed evening settles in as you return to the InterContinental Geneva, where comfort and discretion define the experience.

Morning: On day 2, you’ll explore Geneva’s global identity. A private transfer brings you to the United Nations headquarters for a guided UN tour that explains Geneva’s diplomatic role with clarity.

Afternoon: The afternoon shifts tone with a visit to the Patek Philippe Museum. Intricate timepieces, enamelled dials, and centuries of craftsmanship tell a distinctly Swiss story of innovation and tradition, making this a highlight well beyond watch enthusiasts. 

Evening: Return to your hotel for a quiet evening. If you like, we can arrange a private dining experience or recommend a restaurant that suits your mood.

Morning: One of the most popular day trips from Geneva by train or private vehicle, takes you into France. The Aiguille du Midi cable car ascends high above Chamonix, revealing Mont Blanc in full scale.

Afternoon: Descend via the Montenvers Railway to the Mer de Glace, where the scale and movement of the glacier reveal how the landscape has evolved over time. For those keen to be more active, optional glacier hiking or light alpine experiences can be arranged, tailored to comfort and interest.

Evening: Return back to Intercontinental Geneva with the Alps still fresh in your mind – a contrast that defines the appeal of tours from Geneva.

Morning: Travel along the shores of Lake Geneva to Lausanne, where you’ll find steep streets, lively neighbourhoods, and the Gothic cathedral. From elevated viewpoints, the lake and surrounding hills stretch out below.

Afternoon: Lunch is reserved at the lakeside restaurant 57 Grill, followed by a wine tasting in the Lavaux vineyards. A UNESCO heritage site, terraced vines, lake reflections, and local vintages create a quietly memorable experience.

Evening: Before returning back to the hotel in Geneva, visit the Château de Chillon – a medieval fortress rising from the water. An optional stop at the Olympic Museum adds a modern counterpoint.

Morning: Head into the countryside toward Gruyères, a storybook town known for its traditions and hilltop setting. Wander the cobbled streets of the old town, with time to visit the Château de Gruyères if you’d like a deeper sense of the region’s history.

Afternoon: Visit a local cheese factory to learn how Gruyère is made, from fresh milk to ageing cellars. The journey continues to Maison Cailler, where a guided factory tour blends history, craftsmanship, and indulgence with tastings.

Evening: Return to Geneva for your final night. As the journey comes to a close, this Switzerland travel itinerary ends with flavours, landscapes, and moments that tend to stay with you long after you’ve left.
