Dubbed the ‘Venice of the Alps,’ the French town of Annecy is a feast for the eyes (and all the other senses, really). Board a coach in Geneva for an easy 1-hour drive to this romantic village at the base of the snowcapped Alps. Follow your guide on a brief introduction of charming Annecy Old Town to visit iconic Palais de l'Isle, Château d’Annecy and glittering Lake Annecy, the third-largest lake in France. Afterward, you'll have 1.5 hours to spend as you please in this storybook Alpine town.

El lugar precioso.
El guía, Gabriel, fantástico, desde que se presentó siempre estuvo contándonos acerca del lugar y su historia, hubo una pareja que no llegó puntual y el se preocupó de buscarlos.
Muy amable y preocupado de darnos datos del lugar para recorrerlo.
Además puntual‼️👏👏👏

This was a bit disappointing - The main thing in D'Annecy is the Chateau - please be aware that this is closed on Tuesday and this was not made clear to us - the other key historic site was the Le Palais de I'Île - also closed on Tuesday - so we were really upset and felt we had been sold a pup - I imagine this is fine most days but avoid Tuesdays!!!

The bus was delayed 30 minutes and the speakers on top level didn’t work. To her credit, our guide kept alternating between down and upstairs, which was appreciated but didn’t really help as she is soft-spoken. Not sure the tour added much to a solo visit. If you can save money by getting there on your own and read a Google entry on town you’d be as well off.

This tour was fine but the guide wasn’t. She did not communicate very well. She told us she would let us know when she was ready and never came there. We had to find the group. On the bus because it was a double-decker she spent most of the time on the top deck or with the driver because the intercom system didn’t work. We were on the lower level because I can’t climb stairs. There were about 17 people in the group. It was very difficult to hear her when she was talking. In a Annesy she had no communication system The other tours you have did. When we left we were three people short. She never did a headcount. Luckily, the three came running towards the bus as it was leaving. Everyone was yelling to stop the bus for the people. We love Viator and have gone on many tours. This is probably least satisfying.

The tour guide was lovely, upbeat and quite informative. I think her name was Salla. It was just the right amount of free time and our guide gave us a tour of the town. Annecy is a lovely little town. We were lucky to have sunny weather too today morning. Don’t miss this

Annex is a charming town in the French alps. It is picturesque and the lake is beautiful. However a portion of the resident population is not enamored with all the tourists. I fear without us their lovely town would not be as charming and well kept. It is a shame they feel this way.

It rained from the start of the tour (boarding the bus at the Geneva Bus Station) to the end of the tour at the Geneva Bus Station.
Tour guide was in a hurry since she needed to to be back in Geneva at 14h00 for another tour and did not give much of a tour in Annecy.
She highlighted 2 structures and then gave us free time until we had to board the bus for our return trip to Geneva.

the location is really lovely, little Venice on one side and lake and views on the other side. Perfect half a day trip.

Really good trip. Smooth drive, very pleasant guide who showed us the highlights of Annecy and then we had a couple of hours free time to wander about and get our pics etc.
Excellent and recommended if in Geneva for a few days

Overall my daughter and I enjoyed this trip as Annecy is a pretty town and the lake in particular is beautiful. The reason I have only given 3 stars is because we arrived 10 minutes before the start time and waited with another couple...we asked everyone we could and were told the coach wasn't there yet. Then we went across to the office and a woman rushed in saying we were late and lucky they waited for us! The trip felt a little rushed, with a 15 minute guided walk and 2 hours independent time in Annecy. So we felt it was not amazingly well organised and a little overpriced. Annecy worth a visit, but trip could be improved.
