Good trip - would recommend! - Coach was easy to find at location. We had a tour guide called Gabriel and he was very knowledgeable and funny. There was a few steep paths and uneven floors so definitely need suitable shoes. They do not accept Swiss Franc there (seems silly to say as it’s in France but not something we thought of!) therefore all payments were card for us as we didn’t have any Euros with us. Would definitely recommend!

Enjoyable and easy trip to Annecy - Enjoyable side trip from Geneva to Annecy. Our guide Hector was very knowledgeable and struck a nice balance of informing enough without too much. We appreciated the flexibility in Annecy with the option for a short 30 minute guided tour or choosing to explore without a guide.

A bit expensive but fine. - It was a last minute trip. Nice to not think about where to go because there are no stops on the bus. 75 francs was the last minute price for the geneve to annecy tour. Flix bus was about 15 francs each way also last minute. The tour was very short so maybe it's better to take Flix bus and then a separate tour guide in annecy. However, the tour guide for swiss tours (Arnault) was very nice and definitely cared about our learning. Perhaps they could expand by 1 more hour to allow some more time in annecy.

Short but very pleasant tour - I joined the tour in early November with my 2,5year old son. The coach and drive were very safe. The driver and guide were both very helpful and made my life easier with the stroller. Our guide even more helped me throughout many steep stairs. The guide was interesting, friendly and shared tones of information! I only wish we had some more time in Annecy. I even would have enjoyed a longer drive in the bus, enjoying tue french countryside. The cost was a bit high but it is OK compared to the train ticket price.

Beautiful town but bad tour guide. - On reaching Annecy, the tour guide just went on his own after disembarking from the bus with no effort to get the group together to follow his lead, leaving half of the tour party on their own. We had to explore the town using google maps. Truly my first bad experience with booking tours with Viator.
