Annecy and Geneva Tour

Annecy is known as the “Venice of the Alps”. On this guided tour, you will explore this city and then enjoy a panoramic tour of Geneva.

Itinerary

We will meet in the center of Geneva before taking the bus to Annecy in the French Alps.

We will start our guided walking tour, focusing on Annecy’s history under the House of Savoy and its canals. The city became significant during the counter-reformation when it served as a stronghold against Calvinism.

The 45-minute tour includes visits to key locations such as the Château d'Annecy and the Island Palace, which was a prison during the Renaissance and the Second World War.

After the tour, you will have 2 hours of free time to explore the historical quarter and enjoy lunch at local restaurants (food not included).

Following the break, we will return to Switzerland for a panoramic tour of Geneva. From the comfortable, air-conditioned bus, you will see attractions like the United Nations headquarters, the flower clock, and the Jet d'Eau, a significant city symbol.

To conclude the day, we will take a ride on the mini tourist train through Geneva's historic quarter.
