Start your journey from Geneva on a comfortable bus, escorted by a knowledgeable driver-guide who will lead you to the charming town of Annecy, also called the Venice of the Alps. In Annecy, explore Old Town’s pastel-colored houses, cobblestone streets, and lively markets on a 1-hour walking tour. With your guide, see the main attractions, such as the Palais de l’Isle, a medieval castle that was once a prison, and the Annecy fortress, which served as the residence of the Bishop of Geneva.
Post the guided tour, utilize 2 hours of free time to delve into the city's cultural offerings. The streets are lined with unending flower-filled balconies, colorful residences, antique markets, and crafts shops. You can explore museums like the Musée-Château, which exhibits artwork and artifacts from different eras. Savor traditional Savoyard cuisine in a local restaurant at your own expense, and sample regional delicacies like tartiflette, raclette, fondue, cheese, chocolate, and wine. Before returning to Geneva, take a walk by the shores of Lake Annecy, one of the purest lakes in Europe, or skate across the breathtaking Alpine countryside.
