Annecy with David

We had a wonderful tour from Geneva to Annecy in a lovely sky-top small bus. The tour itinerary was great, but the very best part was our driver/guide David. His insightful and interesting and entertaining dialogue was greatly appreciated. We increased our knowledge about the area and the city of Annecy. It was the best tour i have ever taken.

Disappointing

To be honest, we felt a bit cheated. We were advised that the tour would be for 5 hours, but were not aware that the 5 hours would include transport time which left us really with about 3+ hours for the tour. Before you know it, we had to leave. Secondly, we asked for a guide (English) but only the driver arrived to get us, and while he spoke good English, he was NOT a tour guide. So we really completed the tour simply by using our own observations (information provided at the various locations) and Google. For the amount we paid US$700 for two, there was absolutely zero value. Our driver was friendly and sociable but that hardly made up for the experience. So make sure you know beforehand, what you’re signing up for. Overall this was a disappointment.

Great trip!!!

Great guide, Thomas!!! City was beautiful, but a bit crowded/very touristy. Happy that we included in our stay in Geneva.
