Beautiful Annecy!

Annecy is truly the Venice of the Alps. We had a wonderful morning there. We enjoyed the town, had a wonderful French pastry break and had fun browsing the shops. The bus was comfortable and made good time. The guide was great, he had great stories and was funny and personable - however we booked an English speaking tour, and unfortunately he chose to spend half the time on our 45 minute walking tour speaking Portuguese to accommodate a couple of people on the tour. While this definitely did not ruin our tour, we felt it took away from it. I would still recommend this tour as Annecy is well worth the trip.

Sisters and their better halves on tour 😄

We had a fantastic time! Nick was warm, genuine, and very knowledgeable. He shared lots of interesting insights about the old town, the local food culture, and each of the places we visited. It was a really enjoyable and informative experience. Thank you, Nick!

Annecy was a beautiful...

Annecy was a beautiful quaint old town! Lovely canals lined with flowers and shops. The Sunday market was very busy. We enjoyed this tour very much.

A wonderful place!

An excellent trip to a beautiful and fascinating place. Easy and comfortable coach journey with a great guide. Our one mistake we made was to choose a busy cafe which ended up costing us too much time to explore as much as we wanted. That said, it was still a great trip which we would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely day at Annecy

It was very hot the day we went and being older we struggled with the uphill walk on the walking tour part but otherwise it was very good and well timed
