This full-day tour focuses on the history and landmarks of Geneva and the nearby French town of Annecy. The day begins at the meeting point where travelers board a coach. The group crosses the border into France to reach Annecy, known for its medieval Old Town. A guided walking tour of Annecy's Old Town includes visits to the Palais de l'Ile, a building shaped like a ship that has served as a prison and courthouse, and the Musee-Chateau d'Annecy, a castle combining medieval defense and Renaissance style with views over the town. After the guided portion, there is two hours of free time in Annecy to walk along Lake Annecy’s clear blue water or shop. Returning to Switzerland, the tour continues with a fifteen-minute break at a Geneva bus station before a two-hour guided city tour by mini train or on foot, depending on the season. This tour covers key sites including the Palais des Nations in Geneva’s international district, where visitors see major organizations such as the UN, Red Cross, and UNESCO, with a photo stop at the Broken Chair sculpture. Additional stops include the Flower Clock, symbolizing Geneva’s watch industry and green spaces, the Jet d'Eau fountain, Lake Geneva, Maison Tavel (the oldest house in Geneva), and the Place du Bourg-de-Four in the Old Town. The tour also includes a look at Saint Pierre Cathedral, where John Calvin preached in the 16th century. An optional one-hour Lake Geneva cruise is available from April to October, providing views of one of Western Europe's largest lakes. The entire tour lasts about nine hours and is conducted by coach, walking, and mini train with a guide. Food and drinks are not included.
