    Perouges and Annecy tour

    Perouges was spectacular in the early morning an d Annecy was interesting especially the glacier lake and canal, but much more commercial. Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable

    FONDO vs Fon-don’t 😉

    François was a excellent tour guide! Extremely informative and a history buff to boot! It was raining in the morning but he adapted the tour to accommodate my mother who preferred to stay in while we toured Pérouges. By the time we reached Annecy the rain had stopped and his recommendation for lunch was beyond just amazing! Only thing we’d have done differently was to ONLY ORDER fondu for one! We did fondo for 2 with another dish and salad to split between 4 people and sooooooo sadly left a large amount of cheesy heaven behind😩 Annecy is beautiful with a view of the French alps and crystal clear water..truly a amazing day!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful and lively review. We’re delighted to hear that François made the day so enjoyable, from adapting the morning in Pérouges for your mother to sharing his knowledge and lunch recommendation in Annecy. It sounds like the fondue was memorable too — even if a little too generous. We’re very happy you had such an amazing day between the village, the lake, and the views of the Alps.

    Magical Perouges and Annency

    Fantastic day exploring the medieval city of Perouges with the history and culture thoughtfully explained. A scenic trip to Annency followed with superb recommendations for lunch and time to wander. A day well spent.

    Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.

    How much does Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.

    Is Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Pérouges & Annecy Private Day Trip with Food Tasting from Lyon start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lyon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lyon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lyon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
