“Excellent decision to book this tour! We were looking for something relatively quick as we are only in Geneva for a few days and this was it. Gabriel was our tour guide and he was very friendly and informative. He was descriptive and gave excellent recommendations on what to see and do in Annecy (and Geneva) and we were able to maximize our time there. As listed, it was a 45 minute drive, 45 minute guided tour, 2 hour self-tour, and 45 minute drive back. It was rainy and cloudy when we went, but it was still worth it. Norman was our driver and he got us there and back…”
