“The place was easy to find, it’s literally at the foot of Eiffel Tower, waiters were nice and polite, gave us a nice table and were super accomodating. We had such a great time. We did dinner before boat and I think it’s the best option. Food was delicious and they had great portion sizes! Boat ride was also very nice and romantic. You can choose to either sit on the open or closed but glass covered part of the ship, and you can go inside or out ar the any part of the ride. Ship is really big and you have a live commentary. This really made our first…”

“Our 1 hour guided Segway tour around Annecy and the lake was so lovely. Our guide Roman did a wonderful job giving us an overview of the highlights and history and answered all our questions. She recommended a spot for lunch (unfortunately it was closed that day) and gave other recommendations for excursions and nightlife. Our Segways were so fun and we loved covering so much area so quickly. And the smiles we received from the passers-by were cute. It was a great way to get a feel for the area before doing a little more exploring on our own.”
