5.00Excellent driver. Albi a lovely place to visit. Would have loved more time there. The second stop was ok but the stop was too long. All in all I would recommend this trip.

3.00A short time in Albi, sharing the excursion with the other town detracted from a time that I think would have been better used only with Albi
Great experience

5.00Great value! The driver was great and everything was right on schedule. I could have used more time in Albi but no real complaints. Better alternative than renting a car or trying to get there by train/Uber.
This gets you to where you need to be

5.00This excursion is transportation ONLY. It gets you from point A to point B and back again. Others said that you could've taken a train instead. However, you might not be close to where you want to be and that is a waste of time. Wasting time on vacation is a waste of money. This gets you to where you need to go and back.

4.00Short and sweet. Everything went as planned. The buses could have been better. It was pretty basic. No reclining seats. And most needed of all things was a usb connection to charge phones
Wonderful way to see Albi and Cordes Sur Ciel

5.00The destinations for this trip are incredible, Albi and Corde Sur Ciel. It's a bus trip with about 40-50 people and trip guide on your phone. The driver, whose name I don't remember, was very pleasant and helpful. Highlights are the cathedral in Albi and Cordes Sur Ciel village on top of a hill. The cathedral is beautiful and interesting. In Cordes Sur Ciel we climbed some cute medieval streets to arrive at downtown. We had a beer at a restaurant overlooking the surrounding valley, which was delightful.

5.00The female bus driver was a very good driver. I did not download the audio for this excursion. I booked this excursion for the ease of transporting me to and from these 2 wonderful sites.
Albi & Cordes day trip.

4.00Definitely worth doing this tour to see Cordes in addition to Albi. Personally, I would have preferred to swap 30 minutes of time in Cordes for additional time in Albi as there is much more to do there but that is only my opinion. It was an extremely hot day but bus was comfortable with good air conditioning. Driver was very friendly and welcoming.
