Lovely day trip with 3 parts to it. First to Annecy, which was great. Comfortable deluxe coach with good legroom (being tall it's often something I don't get!) and good guide, enjoyed guided walk and then free time to explore. Some more time would've been nice but time doesn't really allow it. Then back in Geneva, it's a mini train tour and then a boat trip around the lake. Had a really good day, got to see and do lots, enjoyed myself! Well organised and on time coach departure etc

Our tour guide was very professional, patient with our questions and interests, and was curious about our lives at home. She was most helpful in providing tips on what to appreciate in Geneva and even gave us recommendations for our next stop in Annecy. We have used her suggestions and have not been disappointed!
