The expanse of Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman to the French) forms a natural border between France and Switzerland.

Take a bottle along to taste the famous water from the Source Cachat on the Avenue des Sources.

Everything was fine, and we shall be looking at other tours you offer. Our tour guide was exceptionally helpful, well informed and an excellent communicator. She made the best of the very poor weather we experienced.

Although the accommodation was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful I think that the hotel should consider having tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. My wife, in particular likes to have a hot drink immediately before retiring to bed.

Excellent trip but a bit a lot of travelling made it a bit tiring. Personally would have preferred two free days rather than just one.

Couple of things. The actual itinerary seemed a bit tired. The weather didn't help but I would drop Geneva and perhaps replace with a visit to a house or a boat trip. The food was good at the hotel but we had duck twice and chicken twice. Probably more thought needs to go into the menu selection. The tour manager was great and the staff at the hotel were lovely.
