    The river cruise on Avalon was excellent in every way. Included tours were great, guides were knowledgeable and interesting. Hotels were top-notch. No complaints about anything connected with Avalon.

    The only confusion was with transportation on the final day from the hotel to the airport. It wasn't clear if that was included.

    More wine tours. More time in Lyon. Several small towns not worth the time. Maybe a mixer at the beginning to meet other cruise members.
