Excellent tour to Annecy... - Excellent tour to Annecy with our guide Gabriel, who was first class. Plenty of free time to explore the old part of the charming medieval town after a short guided tour. If you are lucky as we were, and it is market day, it is a real bonus! This is one trip not to be missed and really would recommend.

Great snapshot of Annecy - This was a highlight of my short European trip. Comfortable bus, great driver (Daniel) and knowledgeable host (Hector) combined with fantastic weather made a truly great combination. The town is incredibly picturesque with the mountains and water views. We didn't have lunch but did grab some amazing gelato and had a wonderful time in the market. 10/10 would do again

Excellent - This tour was amazing. Tony was our guide and he was charismatic, informative, and fun. There were great recommendations and I felt like I got to see some of the most beautiful places of the area. The Lake was stunning and the ice cream was unmatched. I would strongly recommend this tour.

Perfect little day trip from Geneva - I absolutely loved this experience. Our tour guide was very informative and on the way told us a lot about Geneva. We had a half an hour guided tour of Annecy and were left to explore for a couple of hours. Annecy is a must see!

Very relaxed, very good last day excursion - Short trip, and little chat about history, was pleasant in Annecy despite drizzling rain. Lots of options for food and shops to browse. Had just enough time to see the old town and have brunch before meeting back at the bus. The old town is small but very picturesque. Had some time open up on our last day in Geneva, so booked the monday tour on Friday without any hitch. Got back in time to be able to leisurely get our things packed before dinner.
Also, this is a good side adventure for someone who is limited to relatively short, relatively flat walks.

Great half day trip to see the beautiful countryside and lake. - The driver and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We admired the ability for multiple languages. Hill to cathedral was steeper than anticipated. Overall we had a lovely time exploring the town on our own. Beautiful location.

Annecy is a beautiful... - Annecy is a beautiful town on a lovely lake. Gabriel was a good guide told us lots of facts. Then had 2 hrs free time to wander the town. I personally liked the lake area, the flowers and the canals. It was a lovely sunny day which enhanced the experience.

Quaint town. - Annecy is a nice quaint community. It has some great restaurants and ice cream options. There is a beautiful lake. The ride thru the countryside was nice and our guide Gabriel was extremely informative and polite. We walked all thru old town and it was great. I would allow more time there to take a river cruise. We stopped at a suspension bridge that was cool. I would have wanted a little more time there. For the price it was well worth it.
