The tour has a very rigid structure. It should be accommodated based weather conditions. We had the heat wave so the walking tour in the morning followed by the boat tour in the afternoon would be better. The driver and guide tried to be flexible and accommodate our requirements. We enjoyed as much as we could but there is room for improvement.

Don't sleep on Annecy! A true gem!
Annecy was one place I NEEDED to go back to after seeing it 30 years ago when I did a study abroad! Tim was an amazing guide and the company was very accommodating picking me up in Geneva and dropping me off at my hotel in Chamonix due to change in plans last minute! Highly Recommend!

First class company for group transfer
We used this company to transfer us from Geneva to Talloires. Communication, punctuality and quality of vehicle was excellent. Driver was very good and even had to deal with taking luggage up stairs in the rain. Would highly recommend this company.

Private Tour is the way to GO!
This is a tour that you MUST BOOK. Doing this tour as a private trip made a huge difference as we had flexibility. Our local guide was amazing, providing an illustrated visual tour using printed pictures and maps. Our driver Timothy was great as he was available whenever we were ready to depart and provided flexibility in our timing.
