4.00May be we chose the wrong time. It was hot! The place is close to Geneva so travel is short. Guide Mr Gabriel was amazing. However the tour operator Key Tours are hard to reach. They don’t answer messages in Viator and don’t have a WhatsApp number listed. So calling while you are only on data roaming is a hassle. Annece is beautiful but can finish it all in less than a hour unless you want a boat cruise

5.00It was a great trip! Our guide was very informative! I wish we had more time in the town so I should have looked for a longer tour. The tour was on time and it was worth going!
Very pretty. The markets made the canals very crowded. Out of tourist season may have been a better experience

3.00About an hr ride on a big tour bus from Geneva. The tour guide didn’t have a microphone so such a huge group and could not hear him in the crowd. The time in Annecy is about 2 hrs - and plenty of time to walk around the canals and lake.
The cute town of Annecy, France

5.00Trip was excellent. Tony, our guide was amazing, knowledgeable. He knows the trip by heart. Next trip will definitely with Key Tours Thank you Tony for making the trip memorable! The only downside was the heat wave that has gripped Europe!😕 Not the tour operator’s fault

Nice tour to Annency

5.00It's a fifty minute bus ride from Geneva to Annency which is a cute little town in France across the border. It's on a river and a lake with a promenade. Our group was maybe 18 people. The town is hilly and the guide took us up a very steep road to a plateau or something. Then down to an area of shops an restaurants. We bought a few clothing items and had coffee and wonderful crepes. The guide did a very good job, a friendly guy. The tour is a few hours not counting the bus rides back and forth. One thing, Viator should have says you will need your passports. We don't carry them but fortunately we didn't get stopped and asked. I recommend this tour. American family of four with children.
Geneva to Annecy - go!

5.00We came in a day early to Geneva before our group tour started and chose this as a side day trip. We had such a wonderful day! It took about an hour to get there. Had a short tour with the guide and then left on our own for 1.5 hours. Wished it had been a bit longer. Walked around Lake Annecy for a bit and had lunch. Great find and value.
Bad experience

2.00Key Tours is a very difficult company to deal with. I have taken many tours through via tour and Key Tours is the worst.
