Had some confusion finding our guide at the meeting spot and the guide and phone number given in confirmation were not the same as the guide we did meet up with. (Although she had our name and number). The stops along the way were enjoyable and Slyvie was very personable
Great food!

Maeva took us to five places on the food tour. She was very knowledgeable about Annecy and gave us suggestions on what to do/eat for the rest of our trip as well. We went to 1) a truffle store where we got to sample different truffles, 2) a local restaurant where we had a local dish called Tartiflette, 3) a cheese shop, 4) pastry shop, and 5) a chocolate shop. I definitely recommend.

The food and the company were both superb, an excellent introduction to Annecy. I liked the focus on the Old Town and I learned a lot. Sylvie was lovely, felt like I made a friend.
