Isaac was great! Very knowledgeable and fun
Superb visit with Isaac today with our friends. Clear explanations. We really enjoyed this outing. Mathilde, Quentin, and Marion
Very knowledgeable guide and great stops! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for great food and meet amazing shop owners! Tour moved at a relaxed pace and we had plenty of time to shop at each store. We were not rushed at all at our sit down lunch
Isaac was great! Learned a lot about the city, as we went from place to place. Answered all our questions. Never felt rushed. Great variety of samples. Lunch was wonderful. And our last stop for pastries was truly “the icing on the cake”!
Gal was knowledgeable guide and took us to really great places
Isaac did a great job with the tour. He was very informative and has a great knowledge of the area. He interjected humor into his presentation and made it a fun experience. We also stopped several places for a taste of local food and we were all very full by the end of the tour.
We had a wonderful time. We loved all the different samples of food and desserts. The history tour was very well done too. Thanks again!
We had a fantastic day in Annecy, learning about the culture and history of the city while also trying different foods from the region. It was really hot outside, but our guide Isaac was very mindful of that and tried to find shade as we walked by the canals and plazas. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city for the first time.
The tour around Annecy was very insightful and filling. It was a 4 hr walking tour with lunch included in a restaurant. We tried so many of the local dishes and specialties like truffles, fromage and jams. Gal, our tour guide, was a very pleasant person to talk with and answered our questions about Annecy and the tour. She was very approachable and made sure everyone felt included in the tour. Overall, this tour is highly recommended for families and food lovers who want a taste of the local cuisine as well as casual visitors to Annecy.
It was a wonderful tour that gave us history of Annecy with their culture and the food and their people. Our tour guide was fantastic and we got to see more of the city too and enjoy their cuisine.
