Annecy - Venice of the Alps - Tour from Geneva

Posted By : farfoo
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.

Annecy was an amazing place to visit. The city is too beautiful and pristine. The guide too was very good. She explained things very well.

We did not get the 45 minute guided tour. This fee that you pay is basically just transportation. Call an uber or a taxi and find another way to get to Annecy. We were left for 2 hours to just enjoy the small town. You can definitely spend more! Very cute town. The tour sucked and did not offer any guidance or information. Save your money and go on your own.

Enjoyed exploring the little town of Annecy. The drive to and from the town took 2 hours and we had 2 hours to explore Annecy on our own. The guide gave us a quick tour around the area to highlight any places we wish to visit during our free time, including a French gelato and crepe restaurant to try. We went on a Sunday which was super busy with the Sunday market and there were tons of vendors in the old town so it was a little difficult to walk around and find a good spot for photos. Probably better to do the tour on another day. We got dropped off at the parking lot across the Key Tours office in Geneva which has a washroom open for visitors.
