Saved to wishlist!
Make your way to the Geneva Bus Station, where you meet a driver for your departure to Annecy. Bring your passport for this tour, as you cross the French border part way through the drive.
Pass remarkable views of the Alps throughout the drive, then arrive to a picturesque scene of colorful houses and flower-filled balconies. You have plenty of time to explore on your own.
See the Palais de l’Isle, a 12th-century island fortress, or head to the equally historic Château d’Annecy, which commands sweeping views from a hilltop perch. Stretch your legs on the pedestrian and bike path that wraps around the lake, which is the third-largest in France, or try local cuisine in a canal-side cafe. Meet back up in the evening to board the coach and begin the return trip to Geneva, where this tour concludes at the original departure point.
