Beautiful estates, mansions and natural scenery that only be viewed from the lake unfold through a descriptive and insightful narrated tour or provide the backdrop for an unforgettable party or wedding celebration. With 8 boats that hold from 2 to 225, Lake Geneva Cruise Line is one of the areas premier attractions - including the World Famous Mailboat Tour. As seen on the Travel Channel, CBS News, and the Today Show; it is the only marine mail delivery of its type in the nation as the mailperson leaps onto the pier, places the mail in the mailbox and jumps back aboard the boat. The catch is - THE BOAT NEVER STOPS MOVING! « less

This cruise is the best way to see the breathtaking homes and foliage on Geneva Lake. A very interesting history of the lake is also given on the tour. Dress warm in fall. There is also a glassed in area where you can keep warm.

I took the cruise to Black Point with friends and had a wonderful day! The box lunch I'd ordered ahead was enough to share and good. The narration about the north side of the lake kept our attention on the way to the home where we then stretched our legs by climbing 120 stairs - at our own pace. Then,... More

Thank you for your comments. The Black Point Mansion Tour has been a favorite of many of our guests the past several years. October is a great time to not only see the Black Point Mansion but also enjoy the beautiful homes along the shoreline set in a beautiful background of autumn colors. More

We took a 1 1/2 hour tour of Geneva Lake and learned a lot about the history of the beautiful mansions. It was a bright sunny day and perfect for being on the lake. The tour was very informative without being too long and boring. I would highly recommend this tour when in Lake Geneva, you get to see the... More

October is such a wonderful time of the year to enjoy one of our many tours on Geneva Lake. With a little cooperation from Mother Nature it can be spectacular. The colors are peaking a little early this year so do try to visit soon. However, after the leaves have thinned out it offers a great opportunity for one to... More

We were in town for a day trip and took the full lake tour. It was terrific! The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour included the history of the area as well as a commentary on the mansions and properties. The dock is close to all of downtown Lake Geneva so you only have to park once to shop,... More

My husband and I took the Full Lake tour last fall where we learned about the Black Point Estate tour that we did this summer. We were very interested in the mansion although the tour was kind of long and not very interesting, we did enjoy visiting the home. This tour is not for people that can not do stairs.... More

We had looked online and knew which tour we wanted to take. Tickets can be purchased early - we bought ours at the dock the day before. The Riviera is a nice building! Boat tour left on time, narration was interesting. One of the crew was new and had a bit of trouble with the "script".

We came on a Friday for a 10AM-12:30 journey around the Lake. What you need to know is my GPS didn't guide me well. There's a main light coming into town towards the water and you need to take a right there and a left on Wrigley. You park in a metered area. You may have difficulty finding a spot,... More

We toured Lake Geneva by way of the 2 1/2 hour morning Mail Tour. It was a very unique experience watching the mail delivery boy jump on and off the boat to delivery papers/mail to docks on the lake. The driver and delivery boy told of the history of many of the houses on the lake which was very interesting... More
