Itinerary

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

The guided walking tour covers the city’s history, notably its governance by the House of Savoy. Annecy, with its renowned canals, is referred to as the ‘Venice of the Alps.'

The 45-minute tour includes key locations such as the Château d'Annecy castle and the Island Palace, which served as a prison during the Renaissance and World War II.

Post-tour, enjoy 2 hours of free time to explore the historic quarter and have lunch (food not included).

Afterward, we will return to Switzerland for a panoramic tour of Geneva. From an air-conditioned bus, you will view main attractions like the United Nations headquarters, the flower clock, and the Jet d'Eau.

The day concludes with a ride on the mini tourist train through Geneva's historic quarter.
