Geneva sits at the centre of a remarkable circle: Lake Geneva and its palaces, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Chillon Castle, the cheese dairies of Gruyères, Mont Blanc at Chamonix, Lake Annecy, Évian and its waters. A limousine excursion with a private chauffeur is a day inside that circle, at your pace: you choose the stops, the chauffeur drives, waits and knows the right addresses.
How an excursion works
You book a chauffeur and a car for half a day or a full day — it is hourly hire, from three hours. You leave your hotel or your address at the time you want, you stop where you want, for as long as you want. The chauffeur suggests an itinerary if you wish, or follows yours. The price is firm for the agreed duration, and you are told before any extension.

The right car for an excursion
A couple travels in an E-Class or S-Class, with comfort and the view. A family or a group of friends takes the V-Class, up to seven, with room for the day’s purchases. A group of up to sixteen leaves in a Sprinter. Wi-Fi on board in every vehicle. See the fleet →
Bookings, tickets, tables
On request, we give you the times of lifts, boats and panoramic trains, and we book a table or a visit. The chauffeur knows the car parks and the busy hours and organises the day to avoid queues.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum duration of an excursion?
Three hours. Most of the excursions described here take a day; Lavaux or Annecy can be done in half a day.
Does the chauffeur act as a guide?
He knows the region, points out places of interest and suggests stops, but he is not an accredited guide. For a guided visit, we can take a guide on board.
Can the itinerary be changed along the way?
Yes, at any time. The price is set on the duration, not the itinerary, within the reasonable limits agreed.
Are excursions possible in winter?
Yes. Our vehicles are equipped for snow; some passes may be closed, in which case the chauffeur adapts the route.
