Arrive in Annecy and follow your guide on a walking tour, passing by its canals framed by colorful houses with ornate metal balconies. Continue your walk to the pier of Lake Annecy and board a scenic cruise on its calm waters. Take in the quaint scenery, surrounded by charming mountain ranges—the perfect photo opportunity. After your cruise, enjoy free time to grab lunch in one of the town's charming cafes or restaurants (own expense).

Follow your guide through the Old Town's medieval French streets, flower-laden terraces, and little houses lining the village's network of canals. Pass by the iconic 12th-century castle, Palais de l'Isle, and the dominating Château d'Annecy, once the residence of the Counts of Geneva. Then board the bus for your return trip to Geneva.
