We’ve used La Vacanza Travel for 10 years and this was by far our worst experience. We went 15m early to the address listed on the voucher and listed when you click “copy address.” We then waited for 10m and decided to message the tour guide to make sure we were in the right location. We gave them the address and listed the restaurant we were in front of. They replied “hello, yes”. We continued to wait. They then messaged and said we were at the wrong place but our guide was waiting for us. We ran to the other location within 5m but they had already left. We then went to the tour office and met a very rude man who kept rolling his eyes and sighing at us. He told us the address listed on the voucher was for the general area even though it is a specific address that leads you to the wrong place. I contacted La Vacanza Travel about our experience and they said we should have gone to the tour company’s website for the address instead of relying on the address in the voucher provided by the tour guide and La Vacanza Travel. I’ve never had anything like this happen before with the site. Extremely disappointed and makes me reconsider ever using La Vacanza Travel again.

It was a 9 hour tour and they finished it in 4 hours despite saying that it would be a longer tour. Be cautious before you buy this tour.

The tour was was wonderful. Annecy is picturesque, while Geneva has many attractions. To top it off, we had the delightful Gabriel as our tour guide - a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker who provided us with an interesting overview of the fascinating history of Annecy and Geneva.
