Great way to see a new city!

Benoit is an excellent guide. He was fun and knowledgeable about the city and its fascinating history. The tour is just the right length of time as well as the right distance. We had a great time. This is our first time to Annecy. This tour is the perfect way to become familiar with a new city. I would recommend this to anyone, and I would highly recommend Benoit as your guide.

Not worth the money

Our guide was a very pleasant lady however she shared the only 3 facts she knew about Annecy. 3 facts in the entire 90 minutes!! When we asked questions (even related to those same facts) she didn’t know the answer. Very disappointed in Viator for recommending this tour.

Operator response

Your feedback will be taken into consideration in our continuous efforts to offer travellers like you a great experience in Annecy. We hope you still managed to enjoy some of the highlights of Annecy and hope to welcome you again on another LocalBini Experience.

Pleasant tour but too expensive for what is on offer

The tour guide was lovely and knowledgable and the only reason I gave it a 3 star is because of price for what you get .£145 for 1 hour for 3 people is very expensive and for that money I expected to learn a lot more. The tour would be 5 star if the pricing was correct. That price was a small group price too. Wasn’t meant to be a private tour.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your kind words about our tour guide. We’re glad to hear that you found the guide knowledgeable and enjoyable. Our pricing reflects the small-group format, which allows for a more personal experience. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide an even better experience in the future.

Amazing tour of Annecy

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Aude. Annecy is a beautiful place to visit, a true must see! Aude gave us a lot of inforamtion about the area and was very engaging that even our children enjoyed the tour! We did the two hour tour which I highly recommend, as one hour is not enough!

Annecy tour ok

An hour is a very short anount if time to cover Annecy so from this perspective I would rate it a 3. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Would have been nice if he had held a board or some way of knowing he was to be our guide.

Excellent tour of Annecy

Although my time in Annecy was short, the walking tour was a great way of taking in the old charm of Annecy. I booked quite late. Benoit, my guide was knowledgable and friendly. I would say it was quite cold in November, but would have been a fantastic way of getting you bearings around Annecy.
