We try to make the pick-ups as timely as possible but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and many hotels to collect from this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite this process. 10.30 - 10.45: Short Lavatory Break Quick rest stops halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road and finish the drive.

We thank you for giving our Cruise the chance to deliver you a once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide will deliver you to the front door of the hotel of your choice in the Old Quarter. *On weekends, some roads will not allow vehicles to make room for the Walking street therefore our buses will drop you off at the closest and suitable point in the Old Quarter instead.
