Breathtaking Annecy: Alpine Venice Charm from Geneva (5-Hr)

It was a last minute trip. Nice to not think about where to go because there are no stops on the bus. 75 francs was the last minute price for the geneve to annecy tour. Flix bus was about 15 francs each way also last minute. The tour was very short so maybe it's better to take Flix bus and then a separate tour guide in annecy. However, the tour guide for swiss tours (Arnault) was very nice and definitely cared about our learning. Perhaps they could expand by 1 more hour to allow some more time in annecy.

The starting point was easy to locate, a friendly tour guide gave us a brief overview of the destination and was also given plenty of time to explore.

Annecy is a beautiful and charming town. I’m so happy that we took this excursion, and our quide was great!

Enjoyable side trip from Geneva to Annecy. Our guide Hector was very knowledgeable and struck a nice balance of informing enough without too much. We appreciated the flexibility in Annecy with the option for a short 30 minute guided tour or choosing to explore without a guide.

We enjoyed the trip very much. The tour guide was very nice. He explained the history of the places that we visited. We had a wonderful time in Switzerland.

On reaching Annecy, the tour guide just went on his own after disembarking from the bus with no effort to get the group together to follow his lead, leaving half of the tour party on their own. We had to explore the town using google maps. Truly my first bad experience with booking tours with Viator.

I have one good day in Annevy, weather was perfect , sunny day . Everthing was fine . Thanks to our guide

I joined the tour in early November with my 2,5year old son. The coach and drive were very safe. The driver and guide were both very helpful and made my life easier with the stroller. Our guide even more helped me throughout many steep stairs. The guide was interesting, friendly and shared tones of information! I only wish we had some more time in Annecy. I even would have enjoyed a longer drive in the bus, enjoying tue french countryside. The cost was a bit high but it is OK compared to the train ticket price.

No wonder they call it rhe pearl of the French Alps. This is the most beautiful lake and surrounds I have ever encountered, the water is crystal blue, the lake surrounded by 16 century castles now modern day Hotels run by Michellan chefs! Fabulous parks filled with happy families, exercising, relaxing. Beautiful restaurants, fabulous markets!! Just go. It is beautiful!

What a beautiful city I can see why they call it "Venice of the Alps" Pictures speak for themselves ❤️ Our tour guide had plenty of history to share which always makes the experience better. Thank you
