Super tasty and fantastic tour - What a treat! We had a food tasting tour with Gal and it was an outatanding experience. We had a fun group and everything was smooth. The food choices made by Gal were fantastic, we had charcuterie with wine, cheeses and stronger drinks, full lunch at fondue place, pastries with coffee and of course, the chocolates. Its a bout 4-4.5 hrs at nice pace, with some history lessons and fun facts. Gal was super wonderful and very knowledgable, answered many question and she was fun to be around. We would definately come back to Annecy. Thank you.

A perfect half-day in Annecy - No better way to spend half a day in Annecy! On a rainy day, it turned out to be just my husband and myself. Our guide, Gal, filled every moment with her knowledge of local foods and culture. It was a beautifully curated experience we will always remember fondly.

A Delightful Experience - The morning started in the rain, but Gal met us on the bridge as planned. It turned out that we were the only ones, giving us a highly personalized, sensational tour. Bits of architecture and history added to our enjoyment. The food offerings were thoughtfully curated - each stop was intimate and special. The sun eventually came out and the charm of Annecy was obvious. Gal was a wealth of local cultural knowledge. Her easygoing manner made the tour a true delight!

Tasty, beautiful, highly recommended - Isaac, our guide, was very knowledgeable about food and just great to be around for a few hours. We enjoyed the small shops we got to check out and learned so much and got a nice overview with plenty of food, and even some wine! Overall, just a nice experience and we really enjoyed the spots around Annecy that we got to visit, as well.

Only so-so - Sadly, it was a little lackluster.
Gal is very nice and certainly knowledgeable about Annecy, but the tour did not flow well. We walked around, sometimes in a circle and had all three tastings back to back.
I think the route needs to be reconsidered. Start with a treat/coffee, walk, have lunch, walk then end with the coffee /dessert.
