Descrizione
Escape to Annecy on a private full-day trip from Geneva. Stroll the old town canals, cross the lake by boat to Menthon, and take in the Col de la Forclaz panorama with your own local driver.
Discover Annecy, the "Venice of the Alps," on a private, guided day trip from Geneva or Lyon with door-to-door service and a set itinerary you can personalize. This is a structured experience, not just a transfer: your English- and French-speaking local driver-guide picks you up at your hotel or address and leads a walking tour of Annecy's old town, so you leave with real stories, not just a lift.
Suggested itinerary (approx. 10 hours door to door):
- Pick-up in Geneva or Lyon at your hotel or address (included). Scenic drive to Annecy (approx. 1-1.5 hours from Geneva), with commentary on the region along the way.
- Guided walking tour of Annecy old town (approx. 1.5 hours, included). Your driver-guide walks you through the medieval lanes, flower-lined canals, and the iconic Palais de l'Ile, sharing history and pointing out the best viewpoints and photo spots.
- Lakeshore stroll and free time (approx. 1 hour) along one of the purest lakes in Europe.
- Lunch break (approx. 1.5 hours, at your own expense) at a lakeside restaurant your guide recommends - fresh lake fish, Savoyard cheese, or a terrace with a view.
- Afternoon boat crossing to the village of Menthon-Saint-Bernard (approx. 45 min) beneath its medieval chateau, then up to the Col de la Forclaz for one of the finest panoramas in the French Alps.
- Return drive to Geneva or Lyon (approx. 1-1.5 hours to Geneva), arriving in the early evening.
Because this is a private tour, the suggested itinerary is fully customizable: linger longer in the old town, add the Gorges du Fier, stop at any viewpoint you like, or extend the day for a sunset dinner by the water. Just let your guide know and we will adapt the day around you.
You travel in a private, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle - sedan, van, or luxury van depending on your group - with round-trip service from Geneva or Lyon at the same price from both cities. The full day described above (approximately 10 hours door to door) is included in the price: the guided old town walking tour, all driving, fuel, tolls, parking, the boat crossing ticket, and all of your driver-guide's time and waiting time for the whole itinerary. There is no mandatory extra charge to complete the advertised experience. Just bring comfortable shoes and your camera.
