Romance is the lifeblood of Annecy, a town in the Rhone-Alpes region of southeast France that’s replete with castles and cathedrals and softly curving architecture. Stroll hand in hand with your paramour across Pont des Amours (the lover’s bridge) before taking in the Imperial Palace and the baroque Cathedral of Saint-Pierre. A walk down the Rue Royale will be rewarded with prime shopping, dining and people-watching, especially at the fountain of Saint Jean.

I unfortunately cannot recommend this tour operator. I booked a tour with them and got the information that the tour was fully refundable. Given the Corona crisis, I had to cancel my tour. After the initial information that refunds need a bit longer (which I fully understand), nothing happened. I still haven´t received the refund after months and I have not received any information when/if this will happen at all, either. Any attempt to contact the company is being ignored. Neither do they answer to messages nor phone calls. Very disappointing...

Excellent transfer from Geneva Airport to Les Saisies and back again. Drivers were personable, polite and most importantly, very good at driving in heavy snow. Will use them again, much cheaper/hassle free than renting your own car and stressing about the conditions.

Delightful morning/afternoon learning about regional French food and wines and discussing all things related to food, France, and travel. Walked through market and tasted food not easily available in American grocery stores (cheeses, meats, and some fruits too). Loved getting a local perspective on food and Laurence was kind, patient, and gracious with all our questions/conversations. Absolutely loved it!!

Visit one of the cutest cities of the Rhône-Alpes region of France: Annecy. It's situated in the Alps, so if you love skiing this is the place for you. Today, you can enjoy a private walking tour of Annecy with a private guide who will take you to all the spots that interest you most! Also known as the "Second Venice," Annecy has plenty of beauty in store. See the Palais de l'Isle, which was a prison in the 12th century, and for something completely different, move on to cross the bridge of lovers. Another must-see is the gleaming lake of Annecy, inarguably a city highlight. Before you end your day in Annecy, you are also recommended to visit the Old Town, a lovely area full of quaint cafés to keep visitors well-fueled and busy. If there is any place in particular you would like to go but it is not mentioned in the tour description, just ask your guide and he or she will be happy to take you wherever you want to go.
Inclusions: Services of an expert guide during a private guided walking tour
Exclusions: Any entrance tickets - Transportation

I only have to say thanks to the people of Takamaka because they made possible for me the experience to see snow for the first time. All of them were very helpful and kind from the beginning. They always answered me very fast the emails and sent me information and when I suddenly arrived to the office asking for a guide trekking with raquettes in the mountain the girl from the office found an option for us very quickly and also a solution for the transport from Annecy to Le Semnoz. The guide Antonie was very funny and friendly with us. He explained us lot of things about the place, the animals, and the surroundings. It was an incredible experience for me and my friends and I really recommend to do a tour with Takamaka. I hope to see you again!
