4.00Short ride to Annecy. Guide was very knowledgeable. Gave us a short tour round the town and then we had free time. Lovely little town and the lake is beautiful. Very quick trip with about 2 hours free time
Annecy is worth the trip.

4.00The tour guide was good, but there was not a lot of information to relay. Annecy is lovely, but it is no Venice.
Worth visiting

5.00Fantastic way to spend an afternoon. We were in luck because the farmers market was happening. The only drawback, was the tour was advertised as flexible return. They company only operates 1 bus per day instead of two, so the return was not flexible. We thought we might take a train back to Geneva, but the process was beyond our scope.
