This was an excellent... - This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and so friendly. We really liked that the tour was only two hours so we could get an idea of the village and then have time to explore on our own.

The history of Annecy - Aude is a fabulous guide with much information to share about Annecy. She gave great tips for follow up activities and restaurants, as well.

Disappointing - We were a bit disappointed with this tour. First, it was overpriced for 2 hours (over $500 US for 2 people) but it was the only private one available on the day we wanted so we tried it. Slay was our guide. He was personable and spoke English well. He was accommodating and showed us around. There were a few things he told us on the tour that we found out later was not correct so that was a bit disappointing. He was very knowledgeable about the old city and took us around which allowed us to become familiarized with it which was nice. He also met us at our hotel since there was a mix up about the starting point. The thing that was very unsettling was at the end of the tour he actually told us that his tip was not included so it was clear he was trying to get a tip. After paying more than $500 for just 2 hours of guiding and the. strongly hinting about giving him a tip left a sour taste in our mouths. If they lowered the price this would be worth going on. But for more than $500 for just 2 hours, you can learn and familiarize yourself with the old town with a travel guide and map.
