5.00Nice guide, no real interaction with the driver. We got just enough information and and tour time with our guide that it was pleasant. And it was really appreciated then to have a designated amount of time to explore on our own. I also appreciated that for the most part the return of home was quiet so we could nap. I definitely would recommend it and do it again.
Nice Half-Day tour from Geneva

4.00Very nice old town, fully touristic, with nice lake nestled in a foot of the mountains. Walkable. It takes 3-3,5 hrs to circle around, enjoy a slow drink and just not be in a hurry.
Perfect

5.00What a beautiful city/village. You have a combination of old and modern but one does not impose upon the other. The lake was fantastic. Very quaint walks along the lake.
Excellent place to visit....

3.00Annecy is a lovely little town. A half day there is the perfect amount of time. The outdoor market is fantastic.
