Annecy Private Day Trip, Boat Ride & Old Town｜France

Discover Annecy, the "Venice of the Alps," on a private day trip with a set itinerary you can fully personalize. Your English- and French-speaking driver picks you up at your hotel or address of your choice, and the day unfolds at your own pace.

Suggested itinerary (approx. 8 hours door to door, fully included in the price):

Pick-up in Annecy at your hotel or address (approx. 15 min).
Free time in Annecy old town (approx. 1.5 hours). Wander the medieval lanes, flower-lined canals, and the iconic Palais de l'Île, with plenty of viewpoints and photo spots along the way.
Lakeshore stroll and free time (approx. 1 hour) along one of the purest lakes in Europe.
Lunch break (approx. 1.5 hours, at your own expense) at a lakeside restaurant — fresh lake fish, Savoyard cheese, or a terrace with a view. We're happy to share our favorite addresses.
Drive to Menthon-Saint-Bernard (approx. 30 min) for a stop beneath its medieval château (approx. 45 min). Between April and September, the scenic Annecy–Menthon lake shuttle is included in the price for the most beautiful way across the water.
Continue up to the Col de la Forclaz (approx. 45 min) for one of the finest panoramas in the French Alps, where paragliders drift over the turquoise water.
Return to your Annecy pick-up point (approx. 30 min), arriving in the early evening.

Because this is a private tour, the itinerary is fully customizable: linger longer in the old town, add the Gorges du Fier, or stop at any viewpoint you like — just let your driver know and we adapt the day around you.

You travel in a private, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with door-to-door pick-up and drop-off in Annecy. All driving, fuel, parking, and — from April to September — the Annecy–Menthon lake shuttle are included in the price. Just bring comfortable shoes and your camera.
