The tour was great However when the departure was changed to Port St.Louis from Martigues I was told there was no transport from Marseilles airport and had to take a taxi to Port St.Louis at my cost.On arriving at the boat I was told that a bus was provided to take passengers from Martigues to Port St Louis.You could have informed me of this and I could have taken a taxi to Martigues and paid half the price especially as it was a bank holiday.I would expect some compensation on this issue. i have not written to Croisi Europe about this matter . Hope to receive an answer soon, Monty Levinrad

Burgundy's premier wine region reveals itself on the Saône River. Medieval Tournus, Beaune's historic Hospices, and famous wine villages line the route. A gala dinner celebrating regional gastronomy marks the final evening.
