Beautiful city only 45 minutes from Geneva. Lots of bridges and waterways, very picturesque. Would have been nice to have stayed an extra hour on the tour to have enjoyed sitting in a cafe having lunch etc.

Absolutely fabulous morning in beautiful Annecy. Tour guide was great too. We managed to fit in a boat trip to take in the beautiful lake. I can’t fault this trip.

Gabriel was a fantastic tour guide! The tour was a perfect amount of time for my mom and I to explore Annecy. It rained while we were there but it was still a beautiful town

The old town is charming and fairly small. Some of the hills are steep but worth it and the lake is beautiful as well.

Our guide was knowledgeable, gave us good info and then plenty of time to roam around, shop and grab a bite before returning to the bus. He researched a question I asked and updated his response quickly with additional information. When three people didn’t return to the bus on time he waited for 10 mins, made sure the office knew they hadn’t returned and then left, which meant all other passengers were not also substantially delayed. We appreciated that.

Annecy might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen…. The lake, the river, the bridges, the flowers, the architecture and the food options ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. This tour was too short to see everything, so I stayed and took the train back to Geneva. Our tour guide was also excellent.
