Lac Léman cruise was wonderful

Our tour guide and captain on the cruise of Lac Léman was exceptional. He engaged us with light humor while sharing interesting information about the lake and many spots along the shore. The snacks and beverages were a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend taking the cruise. However, we were disappointed with the bus trip to and from Annecy and the walking tour of the village. Our guide was long-winded and repetitious.

Hot Tour

The tour of Annecy was great. The tour of Geneva was just ok. I would have preferred a walking tour of the old city. It was really just driving around seeing buildings. The air conditioning went out on the bus and it was HOT. I would have liked more history of Geneva and Switzerland.

Wonderful Experience!

I had a wonderful time during this tour all along! I can't say anything else but it's been just sensational! Hector and Orlando were the best! Attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. We had enough time in Annecy to explore this beautiful town, small train trip around Old Town of Geneva and the Lake cruise...all was absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend this tour to everyone!
