About this activity
Join a unique walking tour of Annecy led by a passionate student deeply interested in the history and culture of this beautiful region.
I have created my own route, away from the usual paths taken by most guides. Along the way, you’ll discover original stories, surprising facts, and local insights, some of which are not easy to find online.
The tour is not rushed and can be extended if you’d like to learn more, it’s always a pleasure to share additional stories and answer your questions. We’ll take your time to enjoy the atmosphere, and you’re free to stop anytime for photos or a quick bite.
To make the most of your time, I focus on explaining the history outside monuments such as churches, museums, and castles. This way, you don’t lose time waiting or going inside during the tour but you’re absolutely free to visit them if you wish.
This experience is perfect for travelers looking for a more personal, flexible, and insightful way to discover Annecy.
