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.

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.
