Annecy is known as the “Venice of the Alps”. On this guided tour, you will explore this beautiful French city and 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. A guided walking tour will commence, highlighting the history governed by the House of Savoy. Annecy is known for its canals, prompting its nickname the ‘Venice of the Alps.'

During the 45-minute tour, we will visit significant locations such as the Château d'Annecy castle and the Island Palace. This citadel was a prison during the Renaissance and the Second World War.

You will have 2 hours of free time to explore the historic quarter and have lunch at one of the many local restaurants (food not included).

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

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