  • 5A perfect walking tour with a rock star guide!

    Based on a couple of reviews we took a chance on this relatively new company and they did a fantastic job. We had been in the city a day and walked the streets but the walking tour made it all come together and come alive. We chose the Private 90 minute walking tour and booked in the evening at 6pm for the next morning. They got back to us immediately and all the arrangements were sorted quickly and easily. We were matched with Theo and absolutely loved him. Theo was a perfect blend of well informed educator and historian and fun, playful guy who was a pleasure to be with. He arrived armed with maps and photos that helped orient us. At the end he even gave tips on restaurants and other places to visit. This company was a bit more expensive but they were worth it!

  • 4Quick Tour of Annecy

    Heidi was lovely and very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Annecy. This tour gives you a very brief overview so I would do it early in your stay.

About Annecy

Annecy, in the French Alps, is a town of canals, an old castle and pastel houses beside a clear blue lake ringed by mountains.

Annecy's old town sits on the Thiou canal, where stone bridges, arcades and pastel houses frame the Palais de l'Isle, a medieval building shaped like a ship's prow in the water. A castle with a museum stands on the hill above, and the Pont des Amours spans the channel between the lake and the town gardens. The lake itself, Lac d'Annecy, is fed by mountain springs and is known for its clear water.

Top-ranked sights in Annecy: Lake Annecy (Lac d'Annecy), Island Palace (Palais de l'Ile), Annecy Castle (Chateau d'Annecy).
