“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.”
