Not worth the money

Nathalie_L, Apr 2026
Our guide was a very pleasant lady however she shared the only 3 facts she knew about Annecy. 3 facts in the entire 90 minutes!! When we asked questions (even related to those same facts) she didn’t know the answer. Very disappointed in Viator for recommending this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We truly regret to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback will be taken into consideration in our continuous efforts to offer travellers like you a great experience in Annecy. We hope you still managed to enjoy some of the highlights of Annecy and hope to welcome you again on another LocalBini Experience.

Pleasant tour but too expensive for what is on offer

twiggy, Mar 2026
The tour guide was lovely and knowledgable and the only reason I gave it a 3 star is because of price for what you get .£145 for 1 hour for 3 people is very expensive and for that money I expected to learn a lot more. The tour would be 5 star if the pricing was correct. That price was a small group price too. Wasn’t meant to be a private tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Our pricing reflects the small-group format, which allows for a more personal experience.

Seeing Annecy through the eyes of a local was great

Jenni_K, Nov 2025
Fannia was great from the beginning. Messaging the day before our tour to check in with us. On meeting Fannia, she showed real interest in us and what we had already seen, what our interests were and to let us know this was a tour to see things other than the tourist attractions. She engaged with us the whole time. We were lucky enough to have ‘The party of the Pig’ on the day of our tour and so we got to experience a really local event, Fannia bought us local foods to experience and enjoy. She was a really lovely local person to show us the hidden gems of Annecy.

Not the best

Shelley_M, Aug 2025
To give a bit of credit to our personal guide, Annecy was packed with tourists. We experienced an accident that could have been avoided by instructions to stay on the carpet rather than the marble stone. She did take great pictures.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments and will make sure to share them with your Local Host. Your feedback will help us to continue refining the experience for future travelers.

Not happy

Cindi_N, Jul 2025
I traveled by Uber (each way) from Geneva to Annecy, went to location no one showed up contacted Viator, they said it was an error in their system. The Uber cost $115 each way, the refunded guided tour amount but I’m out $230 US dollars due to their error

Aude is a top notch guide, we were interested in the history of the city and the architecture of Annecy tells it's story through Aude's relaxed guiding style. We extended to 90 minute private and don't feel like any stone was unturned!
