The tour at CERN was broken into two parts for me, the first began by unintentionally walking by a guarded gate and into the main campus. After 30 minutes of walking around with my large and increasingly heavy duffle of camping equipment I thought it best to give myself up and make my way back to the front of the campus. This "self tour" was uneventful and simply involved walking around buildings that seemed common above ground, not the Star Gate or holodeck technology I was hoping for.
The second half of the tour began at Building 33, the Registration Building and was simply comprised of two short films punctuated by a walk to the Atlas detector facility. May sound boring and could have been more involved, but I had a great time and most certainly impressed.

Geneva was interesting with several old churches. In particular the cathedral of St. Peter.
