That was going to cost 40 euros each. so considering how much more we got on this trip, we are over the moon and really feel it was value for money. 10%10 would highly recommend.”

“great tour. knowledgeable guide. my only gripe is that everything was repeated in both English and French. and on the bus of 50 people there was literally only 2 French speakers, and they also spoke English, so why repeat EVERY story, history and instruction in French? please give French speakers their own tour, since this was advertised as English. its really annoying :) but otherwise good tour.”
