Annecy is a lovely city and well worth the visit. The historical and geographical context the guide, Gabriel provided was very helpful too. A good tour well worth doing. Gabriel has a somewhat unique style and contributed significantly to it being a good tour.

Gabriel was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared a lot of interesting information about the area on the way to Annecy. Once we arrived, Gabriel led us on a walking tour of the city before leaving us to explore on our own. Annecy is beautiful and so close to Geneva - it's worth a day trip! My only feedback would be that I wish we started the tour an hour or so later. When we arrived, a lot of shops were still closed and it was very quiet around the town. The market was on so I recommend walking through there before exploring the rest of the town - if you like to shop.
