Excellent experience. - This was a fantastic way to see the town and taste the food. Our guide was great. Walking the town alone is fine, but having someone to give you history and all of the best spots for a treat is the way to go!

Outstanding tour of regional cuisine - I had an outstanding tour of regional cuisine with Isaac. He was very knowledgeable about the local geography, history, and culture, and threaded this information through his talks to provide context for the food. The tasting places varied from small shops specializing in wine or cheese to a small family-owned restaurant and also a patisserie. All food was excellent, and Isaac navigated my food allergy very well to advise me on which choices were best. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to learn more about Annecy and its regional cuisine.
