We were in Toulouse for a total of 12 days, and it was cloudy and raining for the first 10 days. We tried to get a boat ride 2 times, but they were canceled both times, so we were ecstatic when we found out we could get a seat on the boat before we had to leave. This was a very nice ride. If I am ever in Toulouse again, I will definitely take the time to book a longer dinner cruise on the Garonne and canal. C’était très magnifique!

Overall a good day trip to Albi and Cordes sur Ciel. The time indicated on the activity description to arrive from Albi to Cordes sur Ciel is not correct. It takes more than 30 mins to arrive there. Our driver was driving at a moderate speed and it took him more than 45 mins to arrive there, without encountering any traffic. This leaves less time to go around Cordes sur Ciel since the excursion does not make up for any lost time during travelling. Also, it is advisable to check whether the little train that takes you up to the village at Cordes sur Ciel is working or not. For instance, on 17th Sep it was not working.
