Lovely and vibrant city with stunning views!❤️ - Annecy, the “Venice of the Alps,” is absolutely magical. The Vieille Ville is full of colorful buildings, flower-lined canals, and cozy cafes—perfect for wandering. The iconic Palais de l’Isle is a must-see. Lake Annecy is stunning with its clear, turquoise waters and mountain backdrop. For the best views, head to Col de la Forclaz—the panorama is breathtaking, and you can even watch paragliders soaring above the lake. Don’t miss the local food! Try a hearty tartiflette or a fresh crepe. Annecy is perfect for relaxing or exploring. I can’t wait to return!

Excellent tour guide revealed the hidden gems of Annecy - Excellent guide and coach services from Geneva to Annecy. A lot of walking when we reached Annecy - one particular location was very steep and not suitable for anyone who has had hip surgery. Plenty ofvtime to grab sonething tasty to est from one of the backeries, cafees or chocolate shoos. A great tour.

Day in Annecy - It was a great day out. On the way to Annecy we stopped off at the old road and bridge which offered an amazing view. Annecy itself is stunning, grwat food, nice Christmas market and some of the clearest waters I've seen.

Visit To Annette - Venice of The Alps - is just OK - Nice half day trip from Geneva. Expansive food, clothing souvenir market. The canals are modest in number, size, and picturesque view.

Nice experience. We recommend another less cold season - The lake is beautiful. The cold was intense. Very nice streets but on a December 25 everything was closed. The lively Christmas market and the afternoon full of walkers around the lake. Sunset, beautiful with the sun setting behind the snowy mountains
