Annecy and Geneva Tour

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

Itinerary

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

The tour includes a guided walking tour of Annecy, notable for its canals. The city was governed by the House of Savoy and played a significant role in the counter-reformation, serving as a bastion against John Calvin's influence from Geneva.

The 45-minute tour will cover key locations such as the Château d'Annecy castle and the Island Palace, which historically served as a prison.

After the walking tour, you will have 2 hours of free time to explore the historic quarter and have lunch (food not included).

Following the break, we will return to Switzerland for a panoramic tour of Geneva. You will have views of attractions, including the United Nations headquarters, flower clock, and Jet d'Eau.

Finally, we will take a ride on the mini tourist train through the historic quarter of Geneva.
