“This is not a food tour as we expected, we did not spend time at the food market or went to any special food destinations/ chefs. However a walk through town which was similar to the walking tour we did the previous ay. The guide was very pleasant and good, the only real highlight was the Truffle shop. Definitely not worth the money”

Cruise Lake Annecy, the Old Town canals, and Thiou River on a 2-hour small-group Segway tour with English guidance and safety training.

“Our guide Kekoa was very kind and attentive, the Segway’s are easy to use although I did fall because I didn’t manage the wide tires fitting through the pedestrian crosswalk blocks very well but I was able to finish the tour, especially since our guide was so patient. It’s a bit scary to drive around with a lot of people walking and when the sidewalks are wet from the rain. All in all, it was an exciting experience.”
