What people love about Ancient Wonders Tours in Southern France
- The gateway to Provence, the Camargue, the Rhône and the Saône (port-to-port cruise)
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
- Cycling in France - Canals and Castles of the Midi
Good value. Beautiful places to visit. Excellent guide.
- The Magic of the Provençal Rhône and the Camargue (port-to-port cruise) (10 destinations)
Staff & food were excellent. However, with very little English spoken it became slightly frustrating. Having freedom to make tea/coffee at any time would have been advantageous.
