Andrew – France

Started early (before advertised 10am) and put on extra buses because the cruise ship was in port, and picked up at cruise ship gate. Ran buses about every 20mins, give or take.

Guide didn’t provide any additional info or tips, only listened to the standard audio. Would have been great for a few local tips for things to do / eat
