    As They say, you get what you pay for! The CEO was great ! We could not have asked for more. The accommodations in Bayeux were the poorest and most uncomfortable. The TV mounted on the wall in front of the twin beds made it impossible to pass during a night time visit to the toilet without banging your head. The tour bus to needs new shocks !! Charge a little more, fix the above, add some professional guide time at sites and some photo opportunity stops.

    Kevin

    Asked on May 26th, 2024

    wondering about ability to arrive a day in advance of tour starting- to adjust to time change. Would need to book a hotel / would airport transfer be available?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • For this particular Journey, we are currently not able to book you a pre night hotel at our Edinburgh hotel, and the transfer is not offered either. This could change by May 2025 and the departure you're looking at. We can also provide you the name of the hotel so you may explore booking directly with them, and we have recommendations for transfers as well.
