About The Geneva Water Fountain (Jet D'eau)

This building is right before Geneva's promenades and can be seen over most of the city. People travelling alone can see the Jet d'Eau from many places in Geneva, like the English Garden and the Pont du Mont-Blanc, which is easy to walk across. It's a great place to stop on a walking tour because it's close to the Old Town and other central areas.  For a memorable experience, consider including the Jet d'Eau in your Switzerland tour package.

Booked: Sightseeing Cruise in Lake Geneva

More than me, my kids were the ones who had the most fun on the cruise. We were looking for a cost-effective way of enjoying the city of Geneva. This cruise is perfect for the people who are travelling on budget. The beautiful view of the Montblanc along with a number of other attractions was really mesmerizing.

The sightseeing cruise is swift and the people serving on the tour are really professional. Everything was handled very carefully and in a manner that allowed us to have a great time. The cruise was also timed perfectly which did not make us miss out on our routine tour. We were able to capture various delightful spots and clicked a ton of photos. The cruise ship was clean and well maintained. Overall, I would give the entire experience a 5 star rating. We had a wonderful time during our honeymoon.

At first, we were having some trouble with the booking as our group size was very large. But thrillophilia executives helped us and got us tickets for 20 people. Thanks thrillophilia for giving us a good experience.
