- DLDavid· May 4th, 2019All went as well as we had hoped for.Trip date: April 2019
- PPPhillip· July 19th, 2018The only confusion was with transportation on the final day from the hotel to the airport. It wasn't clear if that was included.Trip date: July 2018
- MNMarvin· May 28th, 2018More wine tours. More time in Lyon. Several small towns not worth the time. Maybe a mixer at the beginning to meet other cruise members.Trip date: May 2018
