The bus ride and the tour guide is kind, but the stay in Annecy is way too short. We didn’t even have time to sit down and enjoy time at a cafe. I understand this trip is was designed to be half day but half a day is too short here! If you want to really explore annecy you are better off taking a bus yourself to annecy. You can easily spend more than one day exploring this beautiful place.

This was a fun & quick trip to Annecy! A great way to explore somewhere new without the hassle of having to rent a car. Our guide was nice and we learned a few things along the way. She gave us info on the bus and a quick tour of the area (while walking up the hill to the castle). Then we were able to break off and explore on our own. My husband and I walked around the town, went into shops, went to the park, and got lunch & some amazing ice cream! Definitely worth the trip!

The bus ride was perfect and Gabriel -the tour guide- was very polite and nice but... talked WAY much. He talked nonstop for 40 minutes about nonsense really (no one will rent apartments in Annecy). About 20% was useful and 80% was headache matedial. Annecy is beautiful super scenic. But the bus arrives there at 10 when almost everything is still closed. Very awkward time. You cant even get lunch..
