The tour was very good in general, but there is VERY LITTLE cruising on this Loire River Cruise package. The Loire is navigable for only a short stretch, and most of the 'cruise' takes place on coaches or with the boat moored in Nantes. Quite frustrating, and rather deceiving on its advertisement. Life on board is excellent, the Croisi Europe crew is very good, but I would not recommend this specific (Loire River) cruise to any friend. Their cruise on the Rhone River is much better and a true cruising experience.Show more
