Ride a Segway through Annecy’s lakefront gardens in 1 hour, with 10–15 minutes of training and expert bilingual guiding.

One-hour Annecy Segway tour with full training, a small group, and lakeside gardens plus Imperial Palace views for about $49.

A 60-minute small-group walk in Annecy with a local guide, key sights, and personal food and bar recommendations.

Annecy in 60 Minutes with a Local: Gothic cathedral, castle views, island palace, lake gardens, and local market stops in a small group.
“Fannia was great from the beginning. Messaging the day before our tour to check in with us. On meeting Fannia, she showed real interest in us and what we had already seen, what our interests were and to let us know this was a tour to see things other than the tourist attractions. She engaged with us the whole time. We were lucky enough to have ‘The party of the Pig’ on the day of our tour and so we got to experience a really local event, Fannia bought us local foods to experience and enjoy. She was a really lovely local person to show us the hidden gems of…”

1-hour Segway loop through Lyon’s Vieux Lyon, courthouse bridge, Bellecour, Jacobins and Saint Nizier, ending back at the start.

1-hour horse-and-pony walk near Domaine du Roiffe. English guide, tiny group, calm pace options, and a bucolic route.
“J 'ai fait une balade à cheval agréable, dans un environnement très beau. J'avais un beau cheval tranquille, et nous avons marché à pas et à trot enlevé un peu dans la nature, autour d'un terrain de golf et d'un petit étang très sympa. Merci à la monitrice très attentive!”
A 60-minute local walk through Lyon’s old streets, silk tradition, and Saint-Jean-Baptiste, with practical tips for food and bars.
“Guiden hadde kun bodd i byen i et år og kunne ikke besvare flere av våre spørsmål. Det at det selges inn med «lokal innbygger» var avgjørende for valget vårt og det var skikkelig nedtur at dette ikke var tilfellet. Han gjorde sin egen vri på opplegget og fulgte ikke det planlagte programmet. Når vi spurte om «Mur des Canuts» virket det som han ikke kjente til dette. Vi lærte mer av å google om byen selv, enn på turen. Det var skuffende. Vi skulle ønske vi fikk mer bakgrunnsinformasjon om byen og historier av noen som har bodd der litt lengre… Ville ikke anbefalt dette til andre for den…”
