Full day - We did Annecy with a Geneva city tour and Lake cruise. Annecy was lovely and our guide gave a great 30 min walking tour before setting the group loose for about 2 hours of free time, which was ample time for lunch, a little shopping, and a little strolling. Then we returned to Geneva for a different Geneva tour that included a bus tour and a tram tour of the historical area, which that part was lame. The Geneva tour was just OK, but was fine as a general overview. The Annecy part was very good. The 1 hour Lake cruise was also nice; it included wine and cheese.

A bit ordinary - Commentary in not great English was often a bit pointless and too loud. If you’ve been to Venice, skip this one as the distance by bus and walking isn’t worth something not as good and it’s a bit pricey.

Hard to enjoy an area so beautiful in 2 hrs! - Annecy is beautiful, but the tour is so short. It’s only 45 minutes from Geneva and yet they only want you to stay for 2 hrs. The bus wanted to go back to Geneva to do the city tour( if you signed up). You have to be fit and run to see the area in 2 short hours. Dont even have the time to window shop or shop and sit at one of the outside cafe’s/ restaurant to soak in the atmosphere and enoy. I think they can do a lot betteror or have more tours/ tour buses!
