Always available and flexible, they adapt to all our requests, even to our last-minute setbacks and contingencies. The 1786 agency is a reliable and solid partner we can count on in all circumstances
I used the services of 1786 Experiences for a group of 27 people who were able to discover the center of Annecy during a Food Tour on 09/30/2023. The group was delighted, the 3 guides were highly appreciated, and the tastings were of high quality. A perfect experience! I highly recommend them.
We had an outstanding day with Alban beginning with the two gondola rides to view Mont Blanc. He was especially attentive to my wife’s recent knee injury and tailored our day appropriately. We then took the scenic train ride to the historic ice cave. He brought us his homemade orange bread and had gloves for us when we outside waiting for the clouds to clear to give us a perfect view of Mont Blanc. He was not only attentive but very knowledgeable. We never enjoyed climb steps so much because the scenery and commentary were just perfect.
We had an incredible experience in Annecy! Everything was 5 stars. The tour guides were amazing!! I can’t wait to come back and do it again.
Perfect organization without any issues. The creation of a WhatsApp group with all participants is highly appreciated.
