François was a excellent tour guide! Extremely informative and a history buff to boot! It was raining in the morning but he adapted the tour to accommodate my mother who preferred to stay in while we toured Pérouges. By the time we reached Annecy the rain had stopped and his recommendation for lunch was beyond just amazing! Only thing we’d have done differently was to ONLY ORDER fondu for one! We did fondo for 2 with another dish and salad to split between 4 people and sooooooo sadly left a large amount of cheesy heaven behind😩 Annecy is beautiful with a view of the French alps and crystal clear water..truly a amazing day!
Our guide Yann is very professional friendly and knowledgeable. He arrived at meeting point on time. We enjoyed the tour very much.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very pleased to hear that Yann’s professionalism, punctuality, and knowledge helped make your day in Pérouges and Annecy so enjoyable. We will be sure to share your message with him. The Tasty Lyon Team
Fantastic day exploring the medieval city of Perouges with the history and culture thoughtfully explained. A scenic trip to Annency followed with superb recommendations for lunch and time to wander. A day well spent.
Our tour guide, Francois, provided us with professional, friendly service as well as a wealth of historical information regarding the areas we visited. Both Pérouges and Annecy are beautiful and picturesque towns worth visiting.
Basically a driver from Lyon to Annecy. Raining didn’t even bother to shelter us very poor for private tour
We had a lovely day trip to Perouges and Annecy. Perouges was absolutely charming and Annecy was beautiful. Even in December with cold weather, we enjoyed exploring the Christmas markets and enjoying the lively atmosphere.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed your trip to Pérouges and Annecy, even in the winter chill. The Christmas markets truly add a special charm. Hope to welcome you again! 😊🎄 The Tasty team.
Guide gave insightful tour and my family enjoyed it. Tour didn’t start too early which was a good thing. Both places were beautiful.
Yann and the team at Tasty Lyon did an incredible job making this day trip a memorable one for my wife and I on our honeymoon. Yann was highly informative and able to answer nearly every question we had for him. The sites and views in both cities were truly breathtaking! I cannot recommend this trip enough! We’d do it again if given the opportunity!
