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

We took the full lake tour which takes you all the way around the lake. It's a great way to see all of the houses without walking the 26 miles around the lake. A bit overpriced but still enjoyable. More

Try to join the "mail run" trip! Fun to watch local youth deliver mail to docks- while th boat keeps moving :) Nice architectural tour with a LOT of Lake Geneva and Chicago history! More

Thank you for the recommendation. If you have the chance for the first time ever we are running a Mailboat Tours this 2012 Memorial Day weekend! Normally the Mailboat Tour only operates from June 15th thru September 15th. More

PROS: Beautiful views of the lakeside mansions. Fresh air and interesting facts during the tour. There are other types of tours available- like the mail route tour and ice cream social. CONS: Expensive fees. Children will become bored as it is an hour tour. More

Finding the boat tour was a little tricky because "Lake Geneva Cruise Line" isn't visible until you get behind the Riviera Building and see it on the Ticket booth. I'd recommend it, but feel like it is overpriced. Only did it because of a special occasion and had a Living Social Deal. More

We can honestly say it is one of our loved day trips from the Milwaukee area. The food is great and the ambiance is even better with friendly personnel. The Fall Colors when at their peak are spectacular and you can even throw in a super meal!! We experienced the Sunday Brunch, Luncheon , Dinner , Ice Cream and even... More

Just got back from a Lake Geneva day trip. My wife and I took the 1 hour boat tour that covers the mansions. It was nice to get out on the lake, and to view all the homes. The narrator of the tour was really excellent and provided a lot of really interesting information. This really made the trip for... More

We made reservations for the mail boat by phone and took the tour today. Arrived at 9 when the ticket booth opened and had a pleasant time waiting for the boat to open for seating at 9:30. Talked to others in line who had taken the tour before. We sat in the upper deck because we were more interested in... More

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the two plus hours we spent about the US Mailboat lake cruise in Lake Geneva, WI. It was totally amazing watching the mail delivery girl jump from dock to boat and inbetween delivery and pickup mail from dockside mailboxes. The narrative the accompanied the action was very informational and entertaining. Agree with others that all the... More

Tour was very informative and relaxing with the exception of 2 young kids whose parents let them run around, scream and whine for the first 45 minutes. Some tips: 1. Sit on upper deck on the right side if you want sun or in the center since all of the sights are on the right. 2. They have both a... More

My wife and I had a great time on the Lake Geneva Cruise Line to Black Point Estate on August 20th 2011. Captain John was extremely interesting and entertaining on our relaxing cruise to the mansion. It is a bit of a hike up the stairs (all 120) but there are places to rest along the way if if starts... More
